pevan Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 The Disk utility ( and system profyler SATA) hangs when my SATA HD (a Samsung Spinpoint 320GB) is connected to the mainboard. What I have: MB: Asus A8n VM -CSM (Nforce 430/Nvidia 1650) HD Seagate 120GB IDE HD samsung SATA spinpoint 320 GB Multibooting Tiger 4.8 and 4.9, Leopard, Xp and Server 2008 What I did: Clean install with JAS 10.4.8 on PATA HD seagate , boots fine, sound works after patching vendor id. Used AppleNForceATA.kext to patch the sata controller as this seems to be the solution for Nforce430 chipsets. AM I wrong? On first boot (after patching) I actually saw the first partition of my sata HD on the desktop, but can't access it, Finder or disk utility would hang forever. After rebooting that drive dissappeared. I checked the vendor Id of the sata controller and they seem to be correct (0266 10DE) I even tried reformatting the first partition (sata) into FAT32 (stupid me!) So what am I missing here? Pevan BTW: The leopard did exactly the same and so did tubgirls 10.4.9 install (removed Leopard now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
