EtherealRemnant Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Not really sure what the difference between this fix and the other fix... But this one seems to not crash near as frequently... I'm going to reboot and see if I'm finally free of that damn -f option. EDIT: Well, I'm now flag free! Fastest reboot I've ever seen it do too. It seriously only took about a minute, probably more like 45 seconds, once I hit enter on the commandline. Definitely 10x faster than bloated ass XP...

cougar Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 It finally worked. Now my xbench score is 58 Yaaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjbifidus Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 What seemed to work for me: I opened up the package contents of the IOATAFamily.kext linked to previously in this post, and pulled out only the AppleOnboardPCATA.kext package. I put that into the IOATAFamily.kext package that is already in the /System/Library/Extensions folder. Then I ran: sudo chown -R root:wheel IOATAFamily.kext to make sure that every file in that package was on the same page. It seems to be booting fairly reliably now. Thanx a lot, after 5 reboots it seemed to work for me too :-) Motherboard: Gigabyte K8NS (nforce3 250) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ytewr Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Hi, everyone! Tell me please, is there any possibility to enable UDMA support for another chipset(s)? I have SIS468 chipset. When I look in XP Device MGR, I see in IDE controller properties "pci\ven_1039&dev_5513". If I am right, it means that Vendor ID is 0x1039 and Device ID id 0x5513. So, tell me please, what can I do to enable UDMA suppor on my chipset? Maybe it is possible to replace NForce IDs with mine and try to use modified IOATAFamily.kext. And how you do all that manipulations with compiling etc? Where can I study more about all this stuff to be able to try to do something by myself and not bothering you? I've searched forum, but didn't find any solution for my chipset... Thanks forward for your replies :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealRemnant Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Unfortunately, SIS chipsets are not supported in any kexts that I'm aware of that are currently available. Therefore, you will be stuck with the generic driver until such a kext becomes available. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munky^ Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Any chance someone could summarize all the steps in what needs to be done for NForce3 (I have Abit NF8, and Windows installed on another drive). Trying not to be lazy, but read back through 3 pages and can't tie it all together. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Got to the first post of this thread, also a few posts later someone attached a modified kext for nForce 3, just replace it, delete kext caches and reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really weary about going for it cause everything was running well in my opinion fairly decent had no issues. But now it blazes right through everything. Thanx everybody Here are bench results Results 75.29 hmm just curious why does quartz actually work in bench mark ? thought it didn't work......... yeah I'm newbie.

glufx Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 here is the kext for those of you with a an new nForce4 board with the id of "0x026510de". I compiled it for my board(Biostar T-Force4 6100) and thought someone else might want it. macgirl, please disregard your pm about this.

Diranged Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I implemented the patch from the ISO image (from another thread, and I cant find it right now) -- and it works great if you only have 1 hard drive on your primary chain. Unfortunately, once I put a 2nd hard drive on the chain (configured properly with master/slave settings), it panics on boot. Anyone else experience this?

Anyone else experience this? I'm successfully booting OSX when the OSX drive is on Sec Master and a Windows drive on Pri Master and boot drive order changed in BIOS. Think I also had a DVD drive on Sec slave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 any explanation as to why do we have to delete the extensions.cache thingy? It's a manner of making the cache again at reboot, but it is not necesary, you can kextcahe -k /System/Library/Extension after you modify/load the porper kext to refresh the cache.
