I have a P5Q Pro on which is installed Snow Leopard.
I would like to be able to read partitions on my RAID0 array created via ASUS Drive Xpert.
I am also seeing USB Hard Disk (WD Elements 500GB) in Orange Icon.
Any kext to add?

AppleVIAATA.kext in Extra/Extensions (with chameleon) works for me. There is a 64-bit version lying around. It is needed because the BIOS shows the array as an IDE disk to the operating system.

My system partition(OS X 10.6.1) is on the driveXpert array, no problem there.

However, I have to boot from a boot partition on a USB device as chameleon gives me an error (spews a few lines of text garbage after loading boot0, then hangs) if it is installed on the driveXpert array drive (GPT-formatted)

In short, on driveXpert, access: yes, system: yes, boot:no.

Any solution would be welcome. Are there any issues for chameleon to boot from an IDE drive/device?
