evanrodge Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 first the problem needs 2 be figured out.. i can see no difference afaik in the ata bsd driver.. Thanks for the info guys, I learned some new stuff today . Shame on companies for not making a standard SATA software and hardware interface. aPpLeFrEaKpEePs: Perhaps you guys are looking in the wrong place. If the drive is the same, perhaps the handling of the driver by OSX and other corresponding drivers are what are conflicting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hello there! I was wondering what could happend if i try to install OS X in a hardware sata raid...will this work? Im on NF4 Ultra... Thanks! No, RAID needs another driver. I have a RAID set for Windows XP, and Mac OS recognize each drive as separate, but since each drive hold the half information Mac OS does not know how to mount them.

nullobject Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Hi y'all, Firstly I have to send praise in the direction of bikedude880 and MeDevil, thanks for making OS X on my PC possible. I got a bit disheartened after I downloaded and burned my first OS X x86 ISO, only to find that my SATA drive wasn't happening upon boot. I'm currently downloading the 10.4.8 tubgirl image with the hope of patching it with myzar's ppf so I can boot off the DVD and install. My question is: is there a ppf for the latest 10.4.8 JaS release? Or should I just go ahead with the tubgirl release? More to the point, how do I get a 10.4.8 DVD which will support the NForce4 kext for install? Cheers, and keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aPpLeFrEaKpEePs Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) no ppf till now for Jas AFAIK.. use tubgirl.. its a nice release PS: Yay!!! I am a geek now Edited February 8, 2007 by aPpLeFrEaKpEePs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambo60 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Yea nullobject, just use the Tubgirl one. I sent Jas a PM a couple days ago because I had only his Dvd, but the tubgirl dvd is well seeded and will come down fast. I just downloaded it and patched it with the ppf and my install is in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullobject Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Thanks aPpLeFrEaKpEePs and sambo60...that makes it easy as the tubgirl release is much smaller in size. I've got my fingers crossed...it'll be time to ditch Vista if OS X runs sweetly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexidecimal Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I just wanted to say this is impressive, using the TubGirl release it recognizes all my SATA drives, it will even start installing to one of them, but crashes during the installation. Not complaining though, moved some stuff off the IDE i had in the computer and am going to install to that instead. This is great work, you should be very proud of this.

harijan Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 anyone noticed any change in the viaide.c driver between nf430 SATA and vanilla nf4 SATA write?? Not sure exactly what i'm supposed to be looking at. But there's no difference between how all the SATA chipsets are mapped. I can't see anything in that file about writing to disks.

AlainTox714 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Very big thanks to bikedude and medevil to get nforce4sata working. And for me it's better than that because i tried a lot of things 3 weeks ago before i live for holidays and had serious corrupt data on my sata disk. Today was just able to repair it with disk utility, plaese find the log attach for info. What i am running : - mobo A8N-E with AMD64 X2 3800, ATI X1600, 3x ATA, 1x SATA disks. - OSX_1048_AMD_SSE3.iso updated with OSX_1048_AMD_SSE3_PPF2, amd_1048_new.txt applied - SecUpd2006-007Intel.pkg with secupd.txt applied console.log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmada Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Noob here, so please don't flame... If I patch a Jas Image to include this kext, will the installer be able to install OSX to a sata hdd? I don'ts think so, but it'd nice if I could... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming your chipset works (currently) and you patch it right, then yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joneSi Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 (edited) I've searched around the to no avail. Nothing for myzar and no ppf's. What am i missing? joneSi EDIT: Looks like I posted prematurely, the link to the PPF for TubGirl image is on page 15 of this thread. I already have TubGirls image, will report back here later.
