I have run into problems with the 10.4.6 install for whatever reason. I suppose 10.4.6 is good for you

Does anyone compared this driver to the original AppleOnboardPCATA in XBench for nForce 4 ?

Hello MacGirl!

Id like to ask you how you did realize SSE3 on dualcore Opteron?...I have here a Opteron 170, and I would to use it with SSE3, but the functional disk which I have,  has kernel which has no support for SSE3 on dualcore. Thank you in advance for help.

I don't even have a clue, but it appears that SSE3 kernels does not work on AMD's Dual Cores, I can only get a SSE3 Kernel work in VMware, at least with 10.4.4, .5 and .6 because it worked fine with 10.4.3

Are there any plans to create a driver for SATA drives for motherboards with an ATI chipset, or does anyone know of any out there?

[gondawa]

How install this driver? I have followed this explanation
http://forum.osx86pr...topic=13197&hl=

but with the driver that i can find on this thread v2  think.

BUT NOW MY OS CANNOT BOOT   .

Ihave 10.4.5myzar.

My hdd is a ata 40gb and when i have tried Xbench my hdd have very very poor performance (3.000 kb/S) !!!

I am reinstalling mac osx now. But how install now for a working os?  

Edit: My motherboard is Asus P5nd2SLI deluxe : nforce4SliIntel edition

[Morden]

I had the same problems, Zappadoc's driver didn't help, cause Zappadoc didn't added string for nForce 4 SLI IE PATA. Device id of your PATA controller is 003510de, isn't it? I had to compile driver from Darwin sources on my own.

[gondawa]

I  novice in the "mac" world and change Kerxt etc it's so new for me... AND THE REST TOO
But for the device id .. How to get it?
I have cheked  NVIDI nForce4 Intel edition Parallel Ata Controller and i found : PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0035&SUBSYS_818A1043&REV_F2\3&411E6FE&0&78

thus i think my device id is 0035 .. not 003510de . I'm wrong?

I'm learning..be cool :-)


EDIT :: thanks to Morden my problem is resolved. !

ok, hey

I have a Hp computer and it has like a ATI RS480 Host Bridge and
ATI IXP SB400 IDE Controller 1002-4376-2A26103C-00 not sure what thiese numbers mean = "(255) (0-20-1)" but any way this modified kext should work but it dosn't in booting up it says "com.apple.AppleOnboardPCATA.kext" has no kernel dependency. I'm running 10.4.6 so i don't see the problem, the only thing it might be is my hard drive is connect in the 2nd line in the IDE cable and the 1st is my DVD burner.... do u guys think its that?

Thanks

does anyone know how this could be added?

[Crazor]

Man this is INSANE! Works TERRIBLY fast on my nForce4 board! System boot time is like 10s(!) to desktop now compared to 1-2 minutes before. Thank you so much for your work!

hi

i v an MSI MS-7184 with ATI SB400 218S4EASA32HK DH0826.00 0519SS ( HP DESKTOP 5129FR )

installed the  AppleOnboardPCATA.kext but the hd is still slow & i can t start any installer

anyone know if there s a solution available ?

[abamac]

Zappadoc: Thank you for this driver.  Huge drive performance gain (over AppleGenericATA)
on my Compaq R3000T running osx86 10.4.6.  Also enabled my optical drive,
as was the case with a previous post.

If anyone is struggling to identify their chipset, try cpuz (if you're able
to boot windows).  I wasn't able to find an osx util to give similar info.

Northbridge ATI ID5833 rev. 02
Southbridge ATI SB200 rev. 00

[squimmy]

Mine doesn't work - just gets stuck on "waiting for root device", the generic ATA kext works but only without UDMA so it is very slow.


I'm on an ATI IXP chipped motherboard - the device id thing is either 1002-4376 or 1002-4379, i'm not sure. Is there a way I can find out from within OS X? I'm on 10.4.8 BTW.



Thanks.

My hard drive is connected to the second connection of the cable, the first being my dvd player just like "nepali_gurkha".

Is this what is causing my problem?

[lwt]

omg
my broad is D101ggc ,it look's like cannot use it
cause ,my harddisk is ST 250G(sata)

excuse me,could you make another driver for sata.
thanks

Will this work for my Nvidia nForce4 MCP51??

[AcidRain9]

I am running OSX 10.4.8 on my 500 Gb PATA Drive and was wondering about installing this kext.
i have an MSI K9N Nforce 570 Mobo
is it even supported by the kext?

instead of rev, could you post your ATI components PCI ID's?
