I recently purchased a new laptop, and was going to attempt a Mountain Lion install, since Lion and SL don't support Ivy Bridge natively.

After circumventing a KP using cpus=1, I was able to get the installer to boot but alas...no hard drives showed up. I tried using several IOATAFamily kexts to no avail, and this laptop has no setting for AHCI or, more specifically, any hard drive settings at all.

I'm fairly certain the chipset for this laptop is the Intel HM76 Express Chipset. Anyone know of any SATA kexts for said chipset?

Your on the right track with

IOATAFamily.kext

Go into windows and use CPU-Z to verify your chipset and then report back.

CPU-Z lists the chipset as the HM77 Rev4, so I was close.

Does anyone know of a kext for the Intel HM77 Express Chipset?
