mehdymehdy Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 something very strange is happening . i have HP dv2700 . the first time i installed the kext it worked perfect . but after a couple of days it stopped working . so i tried anything u can imagin. from IOPCIFamily.kext to IOUSBFamily.kext and a lot of other stuff . and different IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext . but it did not work anymore . i tired it inside vista it works still so it's not the SD card nor the card reader. so i gave up and i did a fresh install . and installed the driver . and it didn't work . once i insert the SD card it freezes . that's all i get and it's very strange cus the first time it worked very nice . but now it's not working anymore. i'm sure the problem is not the IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext . it should be from somewhere else . please help anyone. i fixed it by flashing bios to older version . the newer Hp pavillion 2700 bios version had support for SD card . so that was changing it's behavior. now it's working fine actually perfect. thanks.

wingrunr21 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 You don't have the latest version because the last update of Sonotone's Dell laptops Post-Installer (V1.4.1) is dated 12/26/2008 whereas latest SD card Reader update dated 05/01/2009 (Final Candidate V1), you can check news at Sourceforge's developpement page, as mentioned on the first page of the thread... Just wanted to point out that the FC1 is dated 1/5/2009 not 5/1/2009. No luck either in XPS M1530 (with FC1) It does work with M1530s. Try the one that is linked in my Guide. Attached is a current SVN build. I didn't change anything including the vendor/device IDs in the Info.plist. I have not tested it because I don't have an SD card with me at the moment.

Boombeng Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Just wanted to point out that the FC1 is dated 1/5/2009 not 5/1/2009. Sorry, in France we write dates like that : day/month/year, anyway it is not a kext from the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliasa_anderson Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The driver works fine with my Dell Inspiron 1525. No workarounds needed. Is it possible that stormcracker is using different versions of kexts on which this driver depends like IOPCIFamily.kext that may be causing diffrent results on the same hardware ?

thinkpad98 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Beta 1 with the device ids updated so basically nothing. Attached is an SVN release build with device ids updated. Haven't tested this one. This one worked with sleep for X60s. Thanks a lot. Just wanted to point out that the FC1 is dated 1/5/2009 not 5/1/2009.It does work with M1530s.

Forest Godfrey Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 has anyone wondered if it is possible to enable any of the other card types? I'm the developer who originally got this working on the Mini 9. It's not a matter of enabling the other card types, it's a matter of writing a driver to support their card protocols. Frankly, this isn't a priority for me at all. I'd be more than happy to answer questions for someone who wants to develop this (you can port it from Linux). However, skill in kernel development (preferably drivers) would be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'd be willing to attempt it at some point (I want to finish my network driver first) I am not sure even Linux supports the full array of cards these readers support. Last time I ran Linux on my laptop only MMC/SD cards worked. Has this situation changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Won't a bsd port be much easier as compared to a linux one ? Apple has recently announced that they will have SD card support in their upcoming mac book pros,does anyone know what bus PCI or USB will they be using ? hi there - can you tell me how you did that? i have the 5920g and cant get the SD working... i have a fairly good know how ability - but not sure what you meant by modify string...? thanks in advance He means the device id for the card.You can find it in the Info.plist file inside the kext.

_Nihil_ Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 hi all, it doesn't work for me! i have an HP DV5 1030el and an internal card reader (Jmicron i think). I installed the kext in the first page with kexthelper but after the reboot i wasn't able to use the card reader. Nevertheless, in the upper panel 4 unrecognized pci devices appears available, but without a driver. these are the translated specs: vendor id: 0x197b device id: 0x2381 (from 0x2381 to 0x2384) vendor subsystem: 0x197b (always the same) device susbsytem: 0x2381 (from 0x2381 to 0x2384) link width: x1 link speed: 2.5 Gt/s have I to modify the kext? what have i to do? thanks, Nihil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliasa_anderson Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Another update: http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/mac-os-x/3...11-release.html in spanish: http://www.midellmini.es/2009/02/12/nuevo-...c-en-el-mini-9/ Changes: - retry on I/O timeout (prev. releases became irressponsible) - detect card removals during operation - lower CPU utilization (the driver is now interrupt-driven) Download: http://www.midellmini.es/wp-content/upload...m9-20090211.zip (0x2381197b Vendor & Dev id) http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...st&id=51464 (0x08221180 Vendor & Dev id) Wow! Now thats called an update. Will test shortly an update.Hope i do not get I/O kit timeouts this time. For those,who tested this and/or earlier versions of the kext,does it have sleep support or one has to mount it again manually after system wake up.
