dawiinci Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I want to use HotPlug for an internal SATA on my ASUS P5Q. The installation is vanilla with a modified Bios and these KEXTS in /Extra/Extensions. I use the main SATA ports. /Extra/Extensions/IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext /Extra/Extensions/fakesmc.kext /Extra/Extensions/OpenHaltRestart.kext The problem is that the drive doesn't show up if I activate it. When I eject and disable it I get stability problems. I can activate it but I need to restart.

MaLd0n Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 do you use DSDT? ESB2? AHCI enable? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/247319-enable-sata-hotplug/#findComment-1637702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawiinci Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 AHCI is enabled. I use the Bios from juzzi and I don't use a DSDT.aml. If ESB2 means I had the orange icons - that's true. Could IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext disable HotPlug?

dawiinci Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I try to use Chameleon RC5 r699. Maybe this will fix something. I don't know about ESB2 but would it help to use DSDT.aml on a vanilla system with a modified Bios?

dawiinci Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Here it is: *removed* Thanks for your help. Edit: Btw. I installed chameleon 2.0 RC5 r699. It still doesn't work. However once I connect the drive the beachball appears and the system freezes for some seconds. At least I don't have to use OpenHaltRestart.kext anymore. Is there any way to find out if the CPU saves energy? I added the new GenerateCStates and GeneratePStates from RC5 but it's difficult to say if there is an improvement.

dawiinci Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1548311 Could you please confirm that I can use a vanilla BIOS if I use Chameleon RC5. Because if so I would flash the Bios with a version directly from Asus.

dawiinci Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thank you, I just tried that one but it still doesn't mount the HDD. The beachball appears as before, no other changes. It doesn't mount. I updated Bios to 2209 without modding. Same problem...

dawiinci Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 I uninstalled IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext but still not working. The SATA is on AHCI, and the HDD is working properly. I just have to power it on before boot. But this is not HotPlug. Your DSDT.aml didn't work with the modded BIOS nor with the vanilla BIOS. To be sure I placed the file in /Extra and in /.

Gringo Vermelho Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Could you please confirm that I can use a vanilla BIOS if I use Chameleon RC5. P5Q series boards do not need a patched BIOS in order to run OS X. I wish someone would just nuke the posts and threads where this information comes from.

I wish someone would just nuke the posts and threads where this information comes from. Didn't know that, I just remember that I wasn't able to run Leopard without cpus=1. look at the bios an example my motherboard I need to turn in two places if I did not activate these two locations hotplug not working SATA RAID/AHCI MODE = AHCI Onboard Sata/Ide Ctrl Mode = AHCI read the motherboard manual I have enabled all AHCI options. The P5Q only has one. Still no hotplug. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/247319-enable-sata-hotplug/#findComment-1642242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
