virtudude Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I have two SATA drives attached to my JMicron controller. One is internal SATA and one is eSATA. After upgrading to 10.5.2, the drives almost never show up. I say almost because they did show up once after returning from sleep, which was odd. Also, when they do show up, and this happened in 10.5.1 as well, they show up as removable drives, even though only one of them is really removable. The JMicron controller does show up System Profiler, but the drives aren't listed in Disk Utility. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I'd really like to find a way to get these drives to show up reliably, and if possible, not show as removable if they're not.

virtudude Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 I was just able to repro the "drives show up after returning from sleep" behavior. Very weird. I still haven't figured out how to get them to show up at boot. :-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91700-problem-with-jmicron-jmb363-on-p5w-dh-with-1052/#findComment-654235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoniya001 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Maybe set it up as AHCI in BIOS ?? That has worked for me in the past. There is also a modified kext file floating about which works with the device.

ergosteur Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I have a P5W DH as well. Just installed Leopard (10.5.0) retail using boot-132. Installed the OSX driver from Jmicron's FTP. OSX only boots with my Jmicron controller set to 'Basic' mode in the bios, AHCI and Raid cause kernel panic. What's odd is that only the drive identified as HDD0 by the Jmicron BIOS shows up in system profiler. Has anyone else got this working? I used to have Leopard running perfectly on my P5W, but I can't get it to work anymore.

ergosteur Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I have a P5W DH as well. Just installed Leopard (10.5.0) retail using boot-132. Installed the OSX driver from Jmicron's FTP.

I used to have Leopard running perfectly on my P5W, but I can't get it to work anymore. Heh, funny thing now. I installed 10.5.4 from a retail DVD and am using AppleVIAATA from http://code.google.com/p/darwin-ata/downloads/list. Now my system boots with the Jmicron in any mode, but the drives only show up when it's set to AHCI. If it's set to Basic, the controller and drive connected to it don't appear. Also, when the controller is set to AHCI or RAID mode, the boot time takes a huge hit (like 1-2 minutes).
