[SOLVED: see bottom of page 15 for final DSDT solution, including successful port re-initialization following wake from sleep]
Hi all,
I just completed my first ever machine build.
• Asus P8P67 Pro
• Seasonic 620W Modular PSU
• 3.3GHz Intel Core i5 2500k
• 2 x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600
• Asus Radeon EAH6850
• Samsung DVD-RW
• 7 x internal Hard drives
• All in a Fractal Designs R3 Silent case
Okay, so I've finally got 10.6.7 running very, very nicely. Everything is now natively shown in System profiler and identified correctly (audio, bluetooth, video—including GraphicsEnabler=Yes and Duckweed framebuffer, USB3, etc.)... EXCEPT my final issue to iron out is SATA.
All devices hooked up to the four Intel SATA2 ports, the 2 Intel SATA3 ports, and the 2 Marvell SATA3 ports are recognized and functional, and show up in System Profiler. BUT, the connections are identified as Unknown AHCI Device. That's not a huge issue, but I think it is indicative of the true problem, which is causing my two eSATA ports (Jmicron JMB362 chipset-powered) to not even show up in System Profiler, nor of course do they recognize any drives attached to them in Snow Leopard. I know the controller is working, because it POSTs fine during power up, and the drives attached identify correctly when the OPROM loads when the UEFI/BIOS comes up. But in Snow Leopard, no dice.
How can I get the Intel, Marvell and Jmicron SATA chipsets to correctly identify in System Profiler, and in the case of the Jmicron, actually function!?
I've tried every option in MultiBeast (the three Jmicron kexts in all sorts of arrangement, including not installed at all). I do know that AppleAHCIPort.kext is doing the loading of the Intel and Marvell chips, because when I remove that kext, I hang at the white Apple screen, and there is a "no smoking" sign above the Apple (you know what I mean... "X"ed out). Replacing the vanilla AppleAHCIPort.kext restores booting.
I have also tried using the LegacyAppleAHCIPortJMicronJMB36xSATA.kext and LegacyAppleAHCIPortIntelICHx.kext, but they refuse to assume control of the ports, for whatever reason.
Any ideas?? Does anybody with this Asus board have the Intel and Marvell chips correctly identified in SP?? And does anybody have the Jmicron eSATA ports functioning and identified??
Thanks for any help you can give. I am VERY pleased otherwise with the whole experience, building and getting OS X up and running.
