AppleVIAATA over 4gb RAM bug solved (at least i believe so)! JMicron and AppleNForceATA at development

[slashack]

So far so good, tried everything to get kp & nothing! I only replaced AppleNForceATA(Debug)

(now i want to make a system with 8gb haha)

 

You are a HERO

Kalyway 10.5.2

Asus AN8-SLI - AppleAC97Audio

4gb Ram

Samsung 500 gb sata (remove AppleSMBIOS.kext on install because of crash, place in Extension after build)

AMD Athlon 64 FX-25 Processor 5700/2.81Ghz

NVIDIA 7600GS 256mb Nvinject 0.2.0 + Geforce.kext

 

Be careful. DEBUG kext print tons of information i would need in case they give KP. Use normal kext (without DEBUG), they are the same.

Am I the only one who still have kernel panic with the AppleNforceATA 64bits ?

 

With maxmem=2816 and AppleNforceATA 32 bits i have no error with rember and all work very good.

Without maxmem and AppleNforceATA 32 bits i have errors and kernel panic with rember.

 

Without maxmem and AppleNforceATA 64 bits no error with rember but 2 times per day when i clic on a file i have a kernel panic.

 

 

 

Config :

 

Msi P6N SLI-FI (Nforce 650i)

Core2duo 4300 @ 3000

4 Go DDR2

Apple USB Ethernet

8800 GT 512

1 IDE HDD ( Vista, XP, Linux )

2 SATA HDD ( Leopard )

 

Mac OSX 10.5.5

There's no evidence there you are using AppleNForceATA.kext. Can u attach "ioreg -l > dump.txt" (run that without quoutes in console and attach dump.txt).

I'm still having problems after trying the AppleVIAATA on p1. Anyone have any ideas?

 

This is what happens: my 300GB IDE drive shows up as 128GB in Disk Utility; two other SATA connected drives do not show up at all in Disk Utility; applications crashing; and I still have kernel panics.

 

System is a shuttle VIA based SK22G2V2 box, 4GB of ram. 10.4.8. I reverted back to the original AppleVIAATA.kext for now and it is OK, but still have the 4GB bug of course.

Is this dump with my modified kext? I'm developing under leopard, the problem might be if tiger doesn't suppor 64 bit addresses. I really don't know wheither tiger is 64 bits compatible. The issue may have something to do with the api i use from the kernel to make 64 bit dma.

 

Make sure your devid is in AppleVIAATA Info.plist (I removed every devid but mine, and i really don't know why i made that stupid thing)

 

by the way, i couldn't download your complete dump.

Take a look at this:

All that stuff means your IDE0 has "device-id" = <65020000> and "vendor-id" = <de100000>, that means your IDE controller pciid is 10de:0265 -> NVidia something. The below stuff shows what kext you are using: AppleOnboardPCATARoot. Why this kext? Well, mac matches your devices pciids with all kext pciids listed in Info.plist (under Contents inside the .kext folder). AppleOnboardPCATA seems to be a kext that matches your pciid for your IDE controller: "IOPCIPrimaryMatch" = "0x005310de 0x00e510de 0x026510de 0x00d$.

 

If you have installed AppleNForceATA.kext correctly, then mac is loading another kext for that device. Either remove AppleOnboardPCATA.kext or remove 0x026510de from IOPCIPrimaryMatch section under AppleOnboardPCATA.kext/Contents/Info.plist. The last one is wich I recommend in case this kext is needed for something else. If this goes wrong, just put back this pciid where it was.

Ok,now u are using AppleNForceATA.kext. Are u experiencing kp's? Dose it works? Try now.

No KP for the moment i cross one’s fingers.

Ah I think that's it. Is there any way to include 10.4 compatibility when you compile the VIA driver? :/ I could test that for the heck of it.

[slashack]

I don't have any 10.4 box. You can install xcode and download the source from svn (it's the same googlecode project where the kexts are hosted). Otherwise, there's nothing i can do (i don't have any more pcs to install tiger on them and do it).

Hi slashack:

 

I compiled your AppleVIAATA source under 10.4.8 with xcode 2.5. It works GREAT. I loaded up a large Logic session with many gigs of samples, and I had no kernel panics. Thank you so much!

If u have a gmail account, I can register u at darwinata so u can upload that kext, in case there someone out there with the same problem as you. (I believed mine was a special case, i never expected so much people with the same issue)

Hello, where can i get this source? I have same problems, but after 10.5.5 update. This my post. Random kernel panic, when i work with large amount of data.

 

this is my post:

Some good peoples give me a link with modified AppleVIAATA and Jmicron.kext, but my system can not boot with this kexts. I think i need hard mind work, and source code, for getting worked kext`s...

 

Big thanks for answer..

I've read your post, you need to add your devid to AppleVIAATA.kext. That's why u get an "still waiting for root device" Your KP's logs shows that u have the same problem as me. It's because you are using a 32 bit addressing scheme in your IDE controller kext. Just add your devid

Great thanks for fast feedback, slashack ! I wheel try this.. Right now. With this problem, installation of Update 10.5.5 - is impossible for me..

Try testing your memory with rember. (all your memory). And while testing, try to open files, create folders, etc in your IDE hdd. I believe this problem happens in every 10.5.X version.

Hi slashack,

 

I've attached a .zip of all of the darwin-ata drivers compiled with xcode 2.5 under 10.4.8. I have only tested the AppleVIAATA on my 10.4.8 system. The others all compiled fine, fwiw.

Sorry.. But i`m have stupid problems now:

 

1. AppleVIAATA.kextr is not loaded in my extension list (but exist in extensions folder), only the JMicron.kext loaded

 

and

2. I can`t found Device ID for JMicron controller.

===========================

 

I`m not see matches for "Device ID" string, and not see loaded AppleVIAATA in my system, i don`t know what i can do next.

?

[slashack]

Sorry.. But i`m have stupid problems now:

 

1. AppleVIAATA.kextr is not loaded in my extension list (but exist in extensions folder), only the JMicron.kext loaded

 

and

2. I can`t found Device ID for JMicron controller.

I just found this:

===========================

 

I`m not see matches for "Device ID" string, and not see loaded AppleVIAATA in my system, i don`t know what i can do next.

?

 

U only need one of these kexts, not both.

 

Your devid is 197b:2363 => 0x2363197b.

 

"IOPCIPrimaryMatch" = "0x2368197b 0x2360197b&0xfff0ffff" has your devid. The term 0x2360197b&0xfff0ffff means any 0x236X197b where X can be replaced for any hex number (0-F). This string matches your devid.

 

According to this, u have JMicronATA.kext loaded. Wheres the problem? Is this kext the one i've modified? Or is it another? When u boot with my kext, do u have any problem? does it boot? if it does'n, boot with -v -f debug=0x100 and if there are any errors, take a photo of your screen and reply with that image, or whatever your problem is.

 

I'm running 10.5.5 with modified AppleVIAATA.kext, and recently fixed a 10.5.5 system with JMicronATA.kext (KP's during IDE DVD operations).

[live.fx]

slashack, i install your JMicronATA.kext (now only on 10.5.2 system, sorry,but i`m not have enough time - i must go work), but have a strange issue:

 

System load - ok. All drives detected and work. (i don`t do all memory tests) - but, i can`t see in "System Profile" JMicronATA.kext loaded or not. It not shown. I think this a not a big problem, because, without loaded JMicronATA my system can`t work.

 

(i`m don`t remember now, but i do kext listing with some command-line tools (kextload or something like this) and it show - JMicronATA.kext is not loaded.)

 

When i come to home after work - i try install 10.5.5 update and install your JM*.kext again.

I don`t understand, why i can`t see - loaded it or not.

 

Thanks..

The command is kextstat. Try with that. if not, try with a dump (ioreg -l > dump.txt). With a dump we can find why it's not working.

[GLXOZ]

AppleVIAATA.kext don` t load on Tiger 10.4.11.

My happle becomes so stable with this SATA driver and I can use my full 4GB RAM, can't be happy no more!!! Kudos to Slashack!!! :D
