eSATA / Mountain Lion

Yes. (on 10.8.2)

Thx for the reply. Here's what happened with me:

1. Disconnect all devices that connected to EC-ES03D

** Result: DONE

2. Reboot

** Result: DONE

3. Delete /System/Library/Extensions/SiliconImage3132.kext (If this file exist in the OS)

** Result: Found SiliconImage3132r5.kext and removed it to trash

4. Delete /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

** Result: DONE

5. Delete /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/*

** Result: Didn't find com.apple.kernalcaches

6. Reboot

** Result: DONE

(If you would like to re-install the driver, please follow below steps.)

7. Login in as an administrator user

** Result: DONE

8. Re-download and install the Mac OSX driver.

** Result: Installed from SiI3132r5_1.7.5.0_Sil_Pkg

NOT LISTED: Shut down Mac, re-connected eSATA device, and re-started.

** Result: Still no driver running as shown here:

I'm running on a Mac Pro (Early 2009). Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Okay--my card is finally up and working again...

In my message above, I noted installing SiI3132r5_1.7.5.0_SiI_Pkg, but following instructions at the beginning of this discussion, I went back to try an older Beta (at http://www.siliconimage.com/support/searchresults.aspx?pid=32&cat=3) that explicitly mentions 64 bit.

Now, since I am running a 4-bay enclosure (using RAID with 2 of the bays) off one of the 2 eSATA ports on my PCI card, I figured I needed a driver that supported RAID. So, next I tried SiI3132r5_1.7.2.0_Sil_Pkg, which mentions SATARAID and 64 bit. However, after restarting I still showed no driver running for the card.

Finally, I decided to give 1.2.5.0 a try (SiI3132_1.2.5.0_Sil_Pkg) since others said it worked for them, even though the siliconimage site says its non-RAID. Well, that did the trick. After restarting there's a driver running for the card and when I started up my enclosure, my RAID drive popped right up.

Thinking about it, I'm wondering if the RAID versions of the drivers are for the purpose of using two (or more) eSATA ports on the card itself to RAID together multiple drives (each using one of the card's ports)??? Anyway, I'm set for now.

One final thing... When I installed the newer versions of the siliconimage drivers, they included a folder in the Utilities folder (under Applications) that provided a shell script for uninstalling the drivers. Unfortunately the last version I installed doesn't appear to have included the folder or script, or I would post its content here for those who aren't afraid of using the Terminal.

Thanks for the help.

Now that you mention it, IIRC, the SIL cards come in two different versions: a hardware-RAID version and a non-hardware-RAID version. I'm not sure if the chipset is the same, but either way, the firmware is different and so they have different device IDs. The driver for one won't match the other and vice versa.

For whatever reason, they never unified the drivers for OS X, so if you have the RAID card, you need the RAID driver, and if you have the non-RAID card, you need the non-RAID driver.

Don't quote me on that, though. This is from distant memory....

DF111 is correct.

I had the same problem.

Downloaded Mac OS v 1.2.5.0 from here:

http://www.drivers-download.com/en/downloadlist.php?id=72

I did not need to reboot or even disconnect my eSATA enclosure. Just downloaded and installed the driver, and suddenly the volume appeared on my desktop.

Thank you!!

PS I am not sure which PCI card I have. Can't find the receipt. But my mac recognizes it as pci1095,3132

(same as what WillFriedwald2 has)

Thank you!! This worked for me after upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and updating to 10.8.5. Mine is a generic eSATA PCI card that--under Snow Leopard--had been working fine. Much appreciated!
