  • Kona Software Version 2.0 update cripples d2.7 G5

    Posted by Francois Driessen on August 3, 2006 at 2:15 pm

    Ouch. This hurts. I have gone through this excercise before for both the AJA IO v3.0 and the KONA2 v2.0 updates on my d2.7 G5. System does not boot past the apple screen. In the past I had to start in Safe Boot and manually delete everything AJA related off the mac and re-istall the privious versions. That got me back in the air. Since I updated to FCP 5.1 I was bold enough to give it a try again to go for the latest drivers. AJA IO v3.0 is good, but the KONA2 v2.0 got me stuck again at the apple screen. Tried the same recipe as last time, but now the v1.2 installer says: NOTHING TO INSTALL. (I have tried the unistaller, and manually removing all traces for the KONA2 from the system. Ran Cocktail and reset NV-RAM & P-RAM) But I’m still stuck with the installer issue!. Anyone out there have advice to offer?

    As mentioned alreday, I have run the unistaller, and manually removed all receipts, prefs and extensions.
    Any firmware update says: No Kona hardware installed. – I have reseated the card too. It does, however show up in Sys Profiler. So this is crazy. Anyone else with ideas beond the obvious out there?

    OK. Just off the phone AJA tech support. Turns out the Receipt that was trashed still stays active until Trash is emptied. Install ran fine after the empty. Thanks AJA! As always great to be backed up by good support for your products.

    Just a not to d2.7 users out there. Check with AJA before you update to 2.0 to make sure all is safe. I’m staying at 1.2 until the ghost is cleared.

    Perhaps your Kona card is trapped in the 10th dimension. Look here for more.

    Hi there, D
    Interesting… What’s your system setup? Grfx support, Sata controller hosts etc?
