SticMAC™ Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I think youl need a SATA/PATA kext driver for it, i used kalyways 9a527 DVD to get the KEXT, and i'm currently running my HDD x4 and 2 x DVD from this! WHere you get it i'm not sure as this was an install option on the DVD Sticman maybe this points you in the right direction??? sadly this doesnt change anythingI can see it under ATA recognized: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42L: Modell: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42L Version: SL01 Seriennummer: K296CR62418 Absteckbares Laufwerk: Nein Protokoll: ATAPI Einheiten-Nummer: 0 Socket-Typ: Intern but dvd burner shows no device connected and in the top list ist also says no Drives It must be some kind of software problem because it worked before the update.

MasterXXXShake Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I'm not sure if this is related at all to the original problem, but this thread made me think of a problem I ran into yesterday. I switched from the AppleSMBIOS.kext that came with ToH to the one that came with pc_efi v8.0 and started gettign kernel panics on any cd or dvd that tried to "autoload". When i switched back the problem went away. I also got mucked up Profiler Data out of the pc_efi AppleSMBIOS.kext and it's perfect with the original. (Meaining original from ToH R2 Intel Only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
