mcdonnr Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hi again... The title pretty well says it all. My wireless device is a PCI Ralink RT62... And OS X doesn't see any PCI devices whatsoever. I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue, and what was done to correct it. Thanks!

tweak41 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Yes, I've got the same problem with my DG965WH Motherboard...I've got an open thread about it too, but haven't heard back from anyone. I wonder if there's something common between our two boards that causes OS X not to recognize any PCI devices...

tweak41 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Surely we aren't the only two people with this problem... P.S. mcdonnr have you tried installing tiger?

And no, I have not tried Tiger... You think that could make a difference?

tweak41 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 It's possible...there are people who need kexts from Tiger builds to make certain hardware run in Leopard so I don't think we can necessarily rule it out as a possible solution. If Tiger works then we can narrow down the problem. I briefly tried a Tiger install but got a kernel panic when my machine attempted to boot it after install. I've got too much homework right now to try and mess with it further. Plus I ordered another motherboard to save the hassle and so I can overclock my Q6700 ^^; Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85203-kalyway-leopard-wont-detect-pci-devices/#findComment-606924 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweak41 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 billmik, what motherboard are you using? P.S. Glad and sad to see more people are having this problem. Glad because the chance of finding a solution increases. Sad we're having this trouble in the first place.

JOSHUA LEE Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hey all, Same problem here. Have 2 m-audio pci sound cards that work great in my actual apple g4 machine, but do not work in my newly configured osx86 machine. Everything else works great, so far. Any one found a resolution? I've read some stuff and it looks like that Leopard doesn't support PCI, Is that the case? Running an Asus P5E motherboard with 8gb Corsair memory and a BFG Nvidia 8800 gt 512mb video card.

Suprjacob Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 PCI Devices cannot be used in OSX. Why? Because real Macs don't have PCI slots, thus no drivers to detect them. Sorry. Macs only use PCI-Express Devices, which is not compatible with plain PCI.

JOSHUA LEE Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 It's with the Intel Macs, yes. Great, thanks for your help. After everything I've read, I thought that was the issue, but was hoping I was wrong.

Macs only use PCI-Express Devices, which is not compatible with plain PCI. that´s absolutely wrong. there are several pci cards working on a hackintosh. it depends on a working driver. I have a uad-1 pci card working flawless with leo on the machines in my sig. RME has also released working drivers. there is only one issue: they still don´t appear in system profiler Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85203-kalyway-leopard-wont-detect-pci-devices/#findComment-930863 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, so the system profiler will never show that there are pci devices installed? I was looking at the system profiler to see if the os would see the pci cards. I have M-Audio cards, they have drivers for each version of leopard 10.5.1 - 10.5.5. I'll see if I can get it working.

upinthecloude Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I hope I'm not bumping this thread too much... But it seems that I can't get PCI to work under anything above 10.5.3 It's fine for 10.5.1-10.5.3 though Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85203-kalyway-leopard-wont-detect-pci-devices/#findComment-1162997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
