Red Oak Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Thanks Karaakeha1 for this guide. I followed your June 1 addition and installed the CHUD package to allow proper shutdown. It works 100% as you said it would. The only issue i have that remains is restart. I cant get it to work (Note: I think that I use a modified AppleACPIPlatform.kext from LTL's postpatch.). I noticed in your signature that yours is working. Sure I have a different Gigabyte board, but I am desperate here. Don't I need restart since software update uses it during the installation process of some of the updates? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. This is the only issue preventing me from installing 1.5.3 on my main/working drive. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaporATX Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 First off, thanks for the raid setup howto, Karaakeha1. Nice speed increase. My xbench disk test speed went from 95 to over 140! I really notice the speed difference when copying files from one location to another on the raid set. Very nice. I have a question, though. Is either disk in the raid set supposed to be bootable? My raid set is disk1 and disk2, but the bootloader will only start from disk2. I noticed this because after I set it up and rebooted the boot loader failed to start. I had to change the disk order in the bios so that the drive representing disk2 was first in the boot order. Once I did that the raid booted fine. Is this normal? I know we have a language barrier, so I hope what I'm trying to say is clear. Thanks in advance for you time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can Boot from either of Three Disk in RAID 0 Configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaporATX Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I used Chameleon. I must have did something wrong when entering the terminal commands the first time. After I redid the procedure all is working fine. Note: After playing with the machine in the software raid configuration for most of the day I decided to revert back to a non raid configuration. While the benchmarks and file copy operations within the raid showed a performance improvement, real world performance seemed to suffer a bit. My experience seems to mirror what you read about software raid stripes, ie they are just not worth the trouble. I'm not saying people shouldn't try it, but that I doubt you'll see much benefit outside of benchmark scores. Is fun to play with, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it wont show any difference in web browsing word processing etc . Its practical use is dealing with Video editing big Photo data base in iphoto or same for itunes with quite big library etc. I experienced Faster Startup, File copying Like BLUERAY Movie Image 44 GB ( Decreased To 5 min from 8 mins ) Software Raid is quite equal to hardware RAID. tests show surprisingly little difference between a software and hardware RAID 0 array Also the big practical advantage is RAID 1 configuration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its not possible to reboot with Vanilla one need Patched AppleACPIPlatform.kext . I experienced the same and many others also Shut down not working without CHUD Also if you include HDAEnabler instead of ALCinject .see pic below Audio would be listed as Built in HDAEnabler.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yes Vanilla TM working because using EFI string for Video and Lan. You can generate and install with EFI studio . Check first post .

packrobottom Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 thx karaa, Ok so the way I understand it is I can delete my patched ionetworkingfamily.kext get vanilla one from 10.5.3 combo updater and then in efi studio write the string for my onboard nic to my apple bootlist? This will give me timemachine and fix the uuid 35 error? You are all vanilla except for the kexts in your installer download?
