rosmaniac Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Since my /Extra was for 10.6.0, it has, if I remember correctly, a specialized IOATAFamily for PIIX support (I don't have access to the tree at the moment to give details on that, but will update here when I do). The need (and advisability) to have this (to support the PATA DVD drives) goes away in 10.6.3, and so I would think this kext would cause such an issue as you see. But I reserve the right to be wrong. I really need to get you a copy of what i have for 10.6.8; that will be closer than what works for 10.6.0.

rjjd Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hi major break true ( also for me ) I manage to get the system up an running. First i disabled both PATA drives who were being used by two DVD - DVD writer players.. I saw that the bios settings changed and perhaps that made it possible to make the SSD data drive bootable. No problem what so ever now. I also replaced the present DSDT file installed on the desktop.. I replaced that one by another one witch i downloaded from an site ( i think insalecmac ) from an installation of ML on an Precision 690. Everything works fine now (YES) I also installed the audio kext ( voodoo) so audio also works. Leaving me only one question -- is the installation 100% succeeded? Is there away to check if everything is fully operational ? Greets.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
