Black Knight Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi, I'm using a RD580 chipset with the ULi 1575 southbridge and I was wondering if someone could implement the P-ATA controller into a kext file. The device id is 0x5229 and vendor ID is 10B9. I think all ATI crossfire motherboards so far are using this chipset, so it seems relevant to try to add it to this kext. Thanks a bunch.

Roninregain Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Im also having a hard time with my Uli M1575 Ide controller is called Ali m5229 PCI Bus Master IDE-controller, and is the id given in the previous post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Im also having a hard time with my Uli M1575 Ide controller is called Ali m5229 PCI Bus Master IDE-controller, and is the id given in the previous post I have actually gotten this to work. Add 0x522910B9 to the SATA section of AppleVIAATA.kext/Contents/Info.plist and remove or rename IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleGenericPCATA.kext and it should give you full UDMA modes. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roninregain Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Thanx blacknight, i will try it and test it with xbench, see if there's a difference. I also think I really should switch to sata, but all in due time. If this works, I only need to get my ati x1900xt going and I'll have full support. Well except for that I can't Use SSE3 with my Amd 64 +4400 X2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freekz Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Hi, i've been having so trouble installing this driver the steps i've been do in are: 1. cp -R /AppleOnboardPCATA.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ 2. chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleOnBoardPCATA.kext 3. chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleOnBoardPCATA.kext 4. rm -R /system/library/extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleGenericPCATA.kext 5. rm -R /system/library/extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleOnBoardPCATA.kext 6. rm -f /system/library/Extensions* 7. kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions I've verfied that all the commands are completed, and when i reboot, it says "Load of /sbin/launched failed, errno 5"If someone could tell me what i'm doing wrong or write me a new install guide i would really apperciate it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumPad0 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 We need somebody with an SB450 chipset to test... I had a toshiba a105-s1712 which has a SB450 ATI chipset mainboard. But I still can't install osx86 into my machine 'cause it cannot see my harddrive. ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gio on the mic Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 what about ati ixp sb460? will this driver work with it? b.t.w.: I can't test this until i can get my SATA hd on 1002:4379 controller visible (i can boot fine in vmware and get a kernel panic in native mode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bside Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 hello. i have installed this kext, step by step. all seems ok (my Mobo is MSI on RS400 chipset) reboot and all works good.... really faster (intead udma5 i have before) but when i reboot second time the system boot stopped with the STOP sign at the center. try to boot with -s and saw "waiting for root device" same thing with the new Turion X2 based notebook. With the old Turion laptop on the same chipset everything worked fine. Now the system boots only after i delete kextcache or with "-x" boot option. VERY VERY SAD.

EdFlyer Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'd recommend installing it using vmware and using the actual hard drive instead of a simulated one. Then, after you install mac os x, then you can copy the kext and then os x will boot. Hopefully this helps you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PascalW Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I was wondering, the AppleATIIXPATA.kext also has some SATA parts in its info.plist. Would it be possible the get ati sata cards working trough that? I have an ati sata 4379 onboard chipset and I was wondering if I could get it working trought this kext by adding vendor id somewhere in this kext?

Guest bikedude880 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Reply here and I might code one: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?&showtopic=40448 EDIT: This thread is almost a year old... the kext that was used was from the 10.4.4 era. I think it's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overdrive Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 works fine for me... in the past my dvdrom drive won't work with old kext, now with this kext my dvdrom works! And so the hard disk seems to works better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
