Haiku booting on Mac Mini 2010 but no Sound no Network

Not sure if this is 100% but I saw in an Apple forum the chipset for audio on the Mac Mini 2010 is Cirrus 4206ACNZ audio controller. So, anyone know if this is compatible with Haiku? Some work-around for audio maybe I can download and install?

When I did my System Profiler on my Mac Mini the audio section just says it is Intel High Definition Audio Built In is all.

Any way I can download this on a Mac, write to some USB Thumb Drive or CD that is writeable on my Mac Mini in Mac mode and then readable in Haiku? Then install that way?

Or, anyone know of a USB Ethernet Dongle that actually works with Haiku? I was hoping my Apple USB dongle would work. At least Haiku sees it. Just does not work. Pretty sure my manual settings in Network Preference are correct and when selecting DHCP it only grabs generic IP info so it is not seeing my router. 8-(

Maybe another USB Ethernet dongle will do the trick. At least getting sound would be sweet so if a manual install is possible, cool.

If not, anyone ever use a USB Ethernet dongle that worked?

The Mac Mini has wifi so how would Haiku even see it? If it can see it on notebooks, why not on the Mac Mini?

What format can I do to a USB thumb drive that both a Mac and Haiku can read and write to? Tj

They are:

Vendor ID: 0x14e4
Device ID: 0x16b4

Curious, what will this tell you?

Thanks for the tips. I will try copying the file to a fat formated USB Thumb Drive and see if I can get copied to Haiku. 8-)

Do I need to remove anything so the new OpenSound files take over? I am now on Internet with the Mac Mini and used Terminal to download and install the OpenSound but it still does not work. tj

I added disabled to the file names of the 2 HDA files as noted in this forum message I found below. I then reinstalled opensound via terminal. Media preference no longer shows HDA driver but no OSS driver shows in preference. Do I need to move the installed files someplace so they are seen? Tj

/boot/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/hda and the link to it at /boot/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/audio/hmulti/hda
I suggest you move the files for easy replacement.

And how do I get output on the sound card portion of the Mac Mini? Is there something I type in terminal while booted in Haiku? Tj

OK, posted my first 2 Tickets. Hope I did it correctly. First timer here. Hope thsi helps getting the Mac Mini to run Haiku 100%. Millions are being sold and would be a sweet dual 2.4GHz Haiku Screamer Computer. 8-) New, modern, small, fast, and cool. hehehe For now I am almost there as at least I am typing this from a Haiku-ed Mac Mini on the net with help of my external USB Ethernet Adapter. Anyway, 2 tickets were entered. One for internal ethernet not working and 2nd no sound even with OpenSound. Thanks, tj

I did the Sys Log. Thanks for the tip.

Do you know when I add new attachments to Tickets and post a new update message like I tried the nightly build and it still did not work, does someone receive notice I posted a new message and added new attachments?

Just curious how they are alerted I added new infos.

Thanks

I added my Sys Log to the sound ticket also.

But, I am not sure what you mean by wrong component. I have it on Audio Visual. I see no specific one that says HDA.

What is the correct component then and how do I select HDA?

tj

Ah. OK. I guess since this was an audio issue I thought audio. hehehe

So, I see that one was changed already to correct one.

How about my Network ticket. I had that under Network & Internet. Going in the same guidelines here, I take it my network issue should be drivers>>network instead of the Network Internet it was on?

I went ahead and changed to drivers>>network thinking that would be the case. Can always change back if needed.

tj

Thanks for the help. First timer posting bug reports or tickets but will get a better understanding of this as time goes on. Figured if we can get an Mac Mini 2010 model that is currently for sale a good Haiku candidate, might get more people interested in Haiku at the same time. 8-)

I am downloading GhostBSD 1.0 today to see if that works. The 2.0 I did seemed beta so maybe there are issues. 1.0 is based on freebsd 8 stable from March 2010 so I would think this will work. Will see how it goes.
