Problem with SATA locking up

[wheel]

I have a Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 board with a 2600k and Radeon 6850 (F8 BIOS with matching DSDT from the DB). After the Radeon hack, I got ML installed with little issue (clean install), but saw a few random reboots upon using it. The system freezes with the drive light on solid and then after a few seconds it reboots, all BIOS settings are fine and it comes right back up. I was previously running Lion with no issues.

It seemed to be happening during heavy I/O, and after a few tests I was able to reproduce it in about a second by simply running this in the Terminal:

dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp bs=8192

I have several disks, both spinning disks lock up right away with this command, my SSD was able to lay about 6GB of zeros down before it locked up, but it did. At first I thought a single bad drive, but after testing the others, that doesn't seem to be the case.

I didn't install any Disk Kexts with MultiBeast on my system besides the TRIM enabler. AHCI is enabled in the BIOS, XHD is disabled. Am I missing something obvious or does anyone have any other ideas?

I tried my "dd" command in the Terminal available off my Unibeast key and was able to write to the drive just fine. So I looked for any differences with the configuration. It seems adding AHCI_3rdParty_SATA.kext seemed to help considerably. I've just seen one crash after writing about 70GB to the drive when testing... much better.

I got the same problem. When I only attach one ssd, everything works fine. If attach the second HD, the system will freeze in ten min or auto reboot. I have the Asrock H77M-itx.

I think that the trim enabler replaces the ACHI...kext with the 10.6.8 version.
You should enable trim with the following:

Warning: only for 10.8.1

sudo perl -pi -e 's|(\x52\x6F\x74\x61\x74\x69\x6F\x6E\x61\x6C\x00{1,20})[^\x00]{9}(\x00{1,20}\x4D)|$1\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00$2|sg' /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage

 

[smolderas]

Maybe start in Verbose mode and tell us, what kind of error (panic) you get...

Thank you for help.

I reinstall the os (10.8.1) . The settings of multibeast is attached. I didn't use Trim enabler this time.

But the problem is still here.

I dont know how to save the log in verbose mode.

I dont have the /var/log/kernel.log.

My /var/log/system.log shows

Thank you for help.

I reinstall the os (10.8.1) . The settings of multibeast is attached. I didn't use Trim enabler this time.

But the problem is still here.

I dont know how to save the log in verbose mode.

I dont have the /var/log/kernel.log.

You can't save the kernel panic's on non-Mac hardware. On a Mac, the kernel panics are saved on nvram and on the next boot in the system.log. You can take a photo or just write them down.

the kernel log will be saved in the system.log.

From what I can see, there is not much anything in your system.log.

Boot with verbose mode (-v) or press on v at boot and take a photo of the kernel panic, if you get any...

 

[smolderas]

By the way, by choosing userdsdt, your dsdt will not be initializied.
Copy your DSDT.aml in the /Extra/

 

[smolderas]

My last comment in this thread. You didn't install fakesmc.kext. Without it, you get such issues.

Please read all the descriptions in the multibeast.-----
