Hi,

I can immagine my mobo is perhaps too old but I don't get it because I also have a PCI VIA controller and It's not showing up in OSX System Profiler.

All I NEED is SATA because two of my disks can't wait to have a taste of Tiger.

xBench score is miserable so I'd rather not post it :-)

OK, FINALLY, and for TRUE REALS, everything works perfectly now with OSX86 / Uphuck 1.4i rev. 3 and my blue computer. MY laptop will never work with it as far as keyboard/touchpad goes.

 

I swapped my ASUS motherboard for a new one that still works with my chip, and now the IDE is detected flawlessly!!! Yipeee!

 

Thanks everyone for your help on IDE and the like anyway!

I tried this code for my chipset 648FX on a notebook (Asus A4G) and seems to work.

Before the code, everything goes very slow, now if at the darwin boot I type "-v" I can see the loading very fast, but after 10seconds the pc reboot automatically.

 

Before instead, mac load but very slowly.

 

Anything have suggestion? I'm using the Jas 10.4.8 for intel...I don't know if there are update about this chipset or if this problem have been solved with other version of the Jas iso.

 

Thanks, sorry for my italian, i hope i've been clear in my explanation.

If I do this... the computer loads the kext but then issues the error "I/O Error"

 

I have the SiS 645DX with SiS 962L. Everything else works now. I have 10.4.11, with working sound, network, graphics & acceleration. Just my HDD is so slow...

 

And does anyone have this specific file that dissapeared? AppleVIAATA_963.kext Somebody special tailored this file for SiS, maybe it will work?

ECLAU you are THE man, I can also tell everyone that your solution is working also with VIA8237a chipset !!! ;)

 

I put ID 0x05711106 and 0x53371106 for PATA and SATA in the same string under VIA SATA section.

 

Both hard drives are recognized and my IDE drive is known as a SATA disk!

Performance grew up from 10MB/s to 73MB/s using Xbench

 

Great I really appreciated your work! Thanks a lot!!

<br /><br /><br />full sata support on p4s8x-mx. not ide! should work for sis964 chipsets. put the id 0x01811039 under via sata controller. im not sure if others have done this but i have yet to see it. works great. no problems at all running leo-flat with kalyway combo 10.5.2.

SIS968 has SATA (PCIID: 1039:1183 - for hard drives) + IDE (PCIID: 1039:5513 for DVD drives) interfaces

 

SATA is supported by AppleVIAATA.kext (in section SATA to add 0x11831039)

IDE is supported natively by AppleGenericPCATA.kext (nothing to edit, just keep it present)

Would this altered VIAATA.kext work with Leopard too? From what I understand it's not a part of Leopard, which would lead me to believe I won't be able to get my SIS 651 chipset recognized.

 

Also, any idea if it's possible to integrate this kext with the boot 132 method? At this point I'm just trying to get the Install DVD to actually boot.

 

Thanks in advance.

Finnaly found solution for sis ide chipset to enable udma mode!!!!!

 

TESTED WITH SIS 661 CHIPSET!!!!

 

Here is guide!!!

 

Need appleviaata.kext

 

First you need too look for device and vendor id of yours sis ide controller

 

1) open terminal

2) sudo -s

3) cd /System/Library/Extensions/appleviaata.kext/contents

4) nano info.plist

5) Now need to add your id in the "VIA SATA Controller" not in the "VIA PATA Controller"

6) save and exit

7) chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/appleviaata.kext

8) chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/appleviaata.kext

9) cd /System/Library/Extensions/ioatafamily.kext/contents/plugins

10) and delete applegenericata.kext

11) rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

12) rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

13) kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

14) reboot

 

Now boot with -v option you see appleviasata 8237......... loading

AppleVIAATADriver: VIA 8237 SATA (CMD 0x1f0, CTR 0x3f4, IRQ 14, BM 0xf000)

AppleVIAATADriver: VIA 8237 SATA (CMD 0x170, CTR 0x374, IRQ 15, BM 0xf008)

Mac os x think controller is via sata and working full udma 6 mode.

 

my configuration

Foxconn 662MX

my processor Intel Pentium D 950 CPU 3.40GHz "Instruction sets" MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, EM64T

Hard Drive 80GO SATA

Lecteur Graveur DVD ATAPI IHAS 1206

Graphics card Nvidia 7300GT 512MB

Realtek ALC861 VD (HDA)

Memory Size 512 MBytes

Network card SIS 190 100/10

every time when I run the installation time is estimated 13heur or more each time for what is custom in which I should choose for my configuration :wacko:
