Colin MacKenzie Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 FYI: I was having a lot of kernel panics and I thought it might be related to the HPET or MSI signaling. Unfortunately, having the normal mac kernel panic provides*NO* information at all!!! I downloaded the latest voodoo xnu kernel and was happy to see actual debug information during a kernel panic! Appears my problems are not with the nForce driver at all but with the nForce ATA! After some searching it appears some ATA drivers may have a RAM >2.5GB problem. I took out a stick to go down to 2GB and for the first time I got up in the morning without a kernel panic on the screen. So, for those with nForce LAN on board, you probably have nForce ATA too...so beware!

Matthew L. Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 @Colin MacKenzie: Can you please check if it still does some abnormal things after a few hours and maybe torrent running while HPET is enabled? If so, then I'm having a problem with 2GB of RAM and this nForce ATA kext, too, not with the nForce LAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syson Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi, I've been following this thread for a few days now, on the 2nd or 3rd page some body mentioned about adding some id like 0x026910de to info.plist. My question is that do we still have to add this id in the latest kext available on first page i.e. 0.62.8n. If your answer is yes, can you pls tell me how can i find it for my card and in which field of info.plist do i have to enter this value. My system specifications are PC OSX86 10.5.6 (Voodoo 9.5.5), MoBo ASUS P5N-E SLi, Intel Quad Core @ 2.4GHz, 4GB DDR2 Ram, 500 GB SATA HDD, nVidia GeForce 8600GT 1GB Graphics Adaptor.

Maniac10 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Eno, I have a problem with the 0.62.8n version, the second I load it my system turns into a 386 Don´t know why but every stupid task eates the whole cpu, but I get no kp and the console is clean. I thought it was the new voodoo kernel made by andy but it´s not (tested with regular voodoo too), so I´m using the 0.62.7n version right now and it´s pretty damned stable. Any idea?

Matthew L. Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Interesting. Can you try the nForce ATA driver verdant posted a link to above? After a while, USB gone, and I could see the following messages in Console (so exactly the same like with the nForceATA kext I've had before): nForceLAN: NIC ring full, stalling. disk1s4 data underrun (My comment: maybe it's the Data partition, where torrent was running.) (My comment: yes, an empty line, then it is repeated...) -- The last message repeated 1 time -- (If they are not exactly correct, I was just unable to remember the messages perfectly. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maciek Leja Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hey Matthew L.. I totally have the same problem. If you look in the previous pages I was saying that. The thing is it knocks out my switch along with disabling USB and ethernet. SO I have to unplug it and plug it back in (the switch) after a restart. I'm stuck using my win 7 beta for now but if you think of anything. I too am using the nforceATA that came with the iDeneb 10.5.5 installation (I saw Verdant's post about Slashack's version of nForceATA but I'm debating it - worried about potential issues if I screw that up) - IF i do it, and I won't be able to boot - how do you boot so you can remove that version and put the old one back?

Hmm... Really strange, that it can disable your switch, I've never experienced anything like this. About the kext change: the thing you should do everytime you modify a kext is to backup the one you are going to change. Plan A: Boot in single user mode (-s at boot), and restore your backup kext. (But you can't use this method in your case, because to mount your OS X drive, you need a working controller kext.) Plan B: Boot your install DVD, and use terminal to restore your backup kext. Plan C: Restore a Time Machine backup using your install DVD. Plan D (if you ever would let Windows get write access your HFS+ partitions): Use TransMac to restore your backup kext. Plan E (this thing can be useful at any time, even if some software makes your OS X unusable, you can still use the clone as an emergency system): create an other partition (resize the current ones), and clone your current working OS X install to the freshly created partition. This way, if things go totally wrong, boot your backup partition (that you've just cloned), then you can replace the kext. But wait for an expert's comment to prove my ways to do it, I may be wrong.

Yes, I can see my ethernet card but can not access internet (i tried 60 sec power cut method as well). I have the very same issue and I remain puzzled regarding a solution. I tried the 60-second reset method as well with no luck. My ethernet card is visible to the OS and it can see my network, but for some reason I can't access the internet. Version: Mac OS X v10.5.6 Distro: iPC w/ PP2 patch Kernel: Voodoo 9.5.5 Notes: added Slashack's AppleNForceATA.kext System Info: Processor: Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz Mainboard: Asus P5N-D SLI 750i Other: 4GB DDR2-800, 320GB HD (SATA), LiteOn DVD-RW (IDE), GeForce 7100GS 256MB With the NForceEthernet.kext included in the iPC installer, I get full speed network transfer and reliable internet service for about 4 hours at a time. Once the network connection quits, the rest of the system becomes unstable. Unfortunately, with the NForceEthernet kext I receive a kernel panic everytime I try to access the internet without the cpus=1 boot flag set. I'd like to offer a quick word of thanks to Eno, as well as other OSX86 scene contributors, and not to forget the InsanelyMac forum staff. Your hard work is very much appreciated! After months of lurking, this is the first time I've ever had the need to post a question, simply due to the shear volume of information contained here. Truly amazing! Best regards, Tyler *FIXED* Throughout the installation and setup process, I've been connected directly to my cable modem (only because I thought it might limit the number sources for possible trouble). Adding my router into the loop instantly solved the connection issue and a correct local IP was assigned instantly. At the moment, everything works! (I've really been dying to say that.)

eno Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Eno, I have a problem with the 0.62.8n version, the second I load it my system turns into a 386 Don´t know why but every stupid task eates the whole cpu, but I get no kp and the console is clean.

My system: AMD athlon 64 3000+ 1.5Gb DDR Asus a8n-sli (nforce4 sli) Thanks for the input. It appears that matching against any network or bus pci device using the plist (for some reason my ethernet comes up as a bus device) causes problems on some machines. In the next update I will just add every pci id to the Info.plist. To verify this can you try 0.62.8n again but change the IOPCIPrimaryMatch in the Info.plist to match your NIC (remove the 0x000010de&0x0000ffff match). Thanks Eno I will try (the kernel upgrade). You should really get a donations address so we can help.... pocket change from a few people would be enough to buy one for you Cool. Let me know if it fixes your problem. BTW, added a donation link to the first post . I always appreciate help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
