dino Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi Joe75, what I mean is that AMD si sonwhow left on the last place. If we all stay together in one post we will be able to manage all the problems regarding OSX 86 on AMD's CPU's.

dino Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 I don't find tips and tricks to accelerate the data transfer of my hard disk drive. It is demoralizing! Hi! Let's try first to make that SATA HDD work! It is very easy to manage SATA HDD's by editing the AppleVIAATA.kext. 1. For editing any Info.plist easier, we will use text edit advenced features. Open a terminal window and type: sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit password: type in your password Do not close this terminal window. 2. Navigate to System - Library - Extensions. Locate AppleVIAATA.kext 3. Right click on AppleVIAATA.kext and choose Show package contents 4. Enter - Contens folder and locate Info.plist 5. Drag Info.plist to the TextEdit in your dock. 6. Under primary match key, ener your SATA HDD id's 7. Save and close TextEdit. Repair permissions: 1. In terminal window type: chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleVIAATA.kext - hit enter chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleVIAATA.kext - hit enter rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext - hit enter rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache - hit enter Close everything and go on by restarting your system. You should have SATA HDD recognised. Goodluck!

chmielu Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi!!! I've got a small problem with my OSx 10.4.8 AMD SSE3 installation. Perhaps you can help me. I've installed 10.4.8 AMD sse3 OSx and it's working very slow. It looks like RTM problem wasn't solved at all. I've tried to change fsb, and factor just as semthex told me to, but it's still not working. I've got the newest shemtex kernel. My hardware is: Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo A 1667G notebook AMD Athlon64 3400+ SSE3 (northwood core) capable 1 GB RAM ATI Radeon Mobility x700 128 MB ram PCIexpress 80GB HDD Do you have any clue for me??

Is your OSX 10.4.8 installed natively? If yes, have you ever had this problem with earlier versions (i.e. 10.4.7)? Note that Semthex is hardly working, and this is now still in beta release. But we will find a way. I need a log from your computer, to see if enything weired there.

mspr Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hello Dino, I just opened a topic in international forum for this problem... I have installed 10.4.8 AMD DVD SSE3 natively on my PC but reboot doesn't work (on 10.4.7 it works fine) If I select restart from the menù bar I can close OSX session but I cannot restart my PC: I obtain a black screen and I can see these written commands on it: "continuing Done MACH reboot" After few seconds these commands disappear and I have only a black screen Then... nothing... and the machine doesn't restart I tried to edit the file mach_kernel by using Hex editor as described for the 10.4.7 but the mod doesn't work for 10.4.8 Thank you Bye Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33812-all-amd-users-lets-get-united-dinosrules/#findComment-239901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 chmielu, the latest kernels auto detect fsb and there should be no need to set it, what is the RTM problem you mention."Northwood" is Intel dino, I wasn't trying to heckle you, I just wanted to point out not all AMD threads are lost. I think your intension's are noble and I will also help out the best I can. mspr, what kernel are you using? I would not try to hex edit the kernel, your better off trying different ones to find the one that will work best. I am currently using k19 w/out any problems.

dino Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 No problem joe, let's work together on this. mspr: Do not edit your kernel at the moment. There is no reason to worry, because your system is safe after you have closed OSX session. Let's work on this. It must be one way to fix it.

I had this problem with every version since 10.4.3 Only versions 10.4.1 and 10.4.2 works properly. What kind of log do you need??

3x5a3d Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi! Let's try first to make that SATA HDD work! It is very easy to manage SATA HDD's by editing the AppleVIAATA.kext. It is fantastic! it works! This is my PATA device id: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_036E&SUBSYS_82391043&REV_A1\3&2411E6FE&0&20 I edited my AppleVIAATA Info.plist and added my PATA ID controller (0x036e10de) in the "VIA SATA Controller" section: nano /System/Library/Extensions/AppleVIAATA.kext/Contents/Info.plist<key>VIA SATA Controller</key> <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x036e10de</string> i can put my sata ID controller but i didn't make it, i'm afraid to lose my data. thank you dino! you are my héro!

dino Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi 3x5a3d! Glad I could help! Do not add yet SATA id's to AppleVIAATA.kext SATA is causing "device blocking bus" wich can destroy your system Untill this is solved, let it be. Goodluck!

How should i obtain this log Thanks for help I just want an activity monitor, to see if is anything weird, to see if there is something that is causing your system to be so slow. Open a terminal window an type: tail -f /var/log/system.log then do some tasks, open some applications at the same time, browse internet, if you have any errors int the terminal window, post them here.

chmielu Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hi!!

I don't think that SyncServer causes my system have so slow performance. Maybe you'll figre something else out - hopefully.

It shows buss speed 400 - that's not true - my buss speed is 200, and ofcourse CPU clock - 800MHz - it's redicolous - it should be 2,2 GHz What aree you thinking about this guys??

chmielu Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Ok - i did what you've said. System Profiler shows exactly the same information. I've used System Profiler form JAS 10.4.6 I found strange issue while fsb and RTCLOCK recognizing. OS X 10.4.1 - witch works perfectly for me shows value RTCLOCK 2200000000, and OSX 10.4.8 with semthex kernel shows RTCLOCK 8000000 I don't know what to do with that. Is there any hope for me ????

dino Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 I would reccommend you to try diffrent kernel releases to see what happens. Also please try to use an OSX system only for testing, like we are doing. So we can test several isues without destroing our information. Try also to install Jas OSX 10.4.7, then update to 10.4.8. If this is working there is no reason you should use the new kernel. Use it only if you are sure what you are doing. i used Jas 10.4.7 and I am still using it. It is the perfect version for me. Untill something else, better than this appears, I will use this. In the meantime I test everything I can, so I can help anyone the best I can. I know what it has been for me 6 months of testing and no OSX. Try with the update pls.

chmielu Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I've tried every kernel versions i found, i've also tried jas 10.4.7, and update, and many other combinations - same result - veeery slow performance. Every osx version since 10.4.3 has got slow performance on my hardware. Only 10.4.1 and 10.4.2 has good performance on my hardware, and i don't know why.

chmielu Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Thanks for advice but it didn't work. Firstly - i don't have s SATA HDD, i have an ATA or a PATA HDD, and secondly it's defently a kernel issue - that's what semthex told me. Thanks for any help!!!
