Doooh
Thanks for that..
Seems to be much speedier... thanks to KM9

[jeffburg]

New Drivers works great for me. I am still using the Type11 install method. Now when I unplug the card it detects that it has been unplugged and I get the nasty warning from OS X

thanks KM9

thanks for your hard work.
I choose mini 9 because of Your sd-driver .
16 GB SSD without SDHC is unacceptable for me

I've been playing around with the driver for about a day and I must say, I'm impressed. I'm very glad that hot plugging the sdhc card now works.

Another thing I've noticed (probably is a coincidence) is that rebooting now works flawlessly. Previously the mini 9 would hang when trying to reboot, now it reboots even after it's been to sleep. Next I'll compile / install the keyboard fix and then i'll have a perfectly running install of os x.

When I installed this and plugged in my PhotoFast UltraII 170X SD card, it mounted, but mouse pad quit working. The mouse button kept working, and the keyboard. I inserted and removed card twice. Mouse came back after removing and sleep/wake. Here is relevant data from dmesg:

Thanks for the work! gonna give it a try in a few

[nathan7]

I tried it again today and the mouswe onoly freezes momentarily. Seems to work fine. Thanks.

[AlecEdworthy]

Perhaps not the right place to ask this (and if so please feel free to redirect me) but I'll give it a go...

Is this version of the SD slot driver the one included in DellEFI 1.0.7.1? If not which is supposed to be the better (where better == less likely to cause corruption on the card)? I have an 8Gb SDHC card but am getting corrupted files on it. Most files are fine but I had some corrupted files earlier so I erased the card and then put them back on (from a known good source). Everything seemed OK (md5sums matched over multiple checks) but after correctly (software) ejecting the card, physically ejecting it and then re-inserting it, two files had different md5sums.

Is there some technical data (beyond the make, model and relevant dmesg output) I can collect to provide feedback/assistance? I am away from the mini now but will collect this data tomorrow.

Thanks, Alec

[mechdrew]

@AlecEdworthy: Yes, it is in the latest DellEFI. No need to install anything else.

[thetootall]

Thanks for the post - I did this on my DellEFI on a 10.5.6 clean install and using a generic 4GB SD card from Microcenter with no problems with detection or removal.
