thanks cyclonefr. It shows as ICH9 now.
Internal drives showed as External drives is just a cosmetic thing? Why the OS thinks its external? (I just dont care about the icon, just curious to know why). Thanks again cyclone, finally 4 ports in achi, very clever to check about new kexts on new systems.
Respect.

[cyclonefr]

it's cosmetic. I think it shows as external cuz it thinks it's plugged in eSATA, that's all. No worries !

[CheN NiaN]

Unbelievable that you have made'em work! Good job Cyclonefr!
Now I've got 4 ich8 (no r) ports work so I can abandon the slow Jmc368.
Thank you sooooo much! You rock,man!!

I just grabbed some kexts from new 10.5.2 from new macs (some kexts have been updated) and noticed the new AHCI kext gave me support for all my ICH9 ports in AHCI (I flashed my P5K with P5KR bios to have AHCI...) so if you don't wanna use IDE Enhanced + DuNe hacked IOATAFamily, here is a small pack with some updated kexts, including the 4 ports patched IOATA from DuNe if you still wanna use IDE.

Here you are, enjoy !

Thanx, man. It works with Gigabyte GA-965GM-S2. And if you add 0x28248086 into Info.plist, you get Intel ICH8-M AHCI in System Profiler instead of Unknown Standard AHCI Controller. However, the speed remains the same with or without pci id.

You can fix the orange drive icons easily.

Go to the extension directory for IOAHCIFamily. Inside you will find a plugin called IOAHCIBlockStorage. Edit this plist.

Search for IOAHCIDevice. After it you will want to insert:

<key>Physical Interconnect</key>
<string>SATA</string>
<key>Physical Interconnect Location</key>
<string>Internal</string>
<key>Protocol Characteristics</key>
<dict>
	<key>Physical Interconnect</key>
	<string>SATA</string>
	<key>Physical Interconnect Location</key>
	<string>Internal</string>
</dict>

This will fix the problem. Make sure you boot with either -f or touch /System/Library/Extensions

[cyclonefr]

NIce trick dense, it works fine !

[stas72]

Hi, send me anybody, please, edited  info.plist for IOATABlockStorage.kext!!!!

This is the one fix I have been looking for! Thanks! One question: Do I insert the code immediately after the IOAHCIDevice, or after the following <dict> ?

Immediately after IOAHCIDevice.  Just a word of advice, if there are only two options, you can always just try it yourself and if it doesn't work, boot into some OSX Install DVD, load up the terminal and replace the bad kext with the backup (hopefully you made one), make sure to put the right permissions, too!

If you're brave/lazy and you don't want to replace from a backup, you can boot up to a terminal, browse to kext in the ~/System/Library/Extensions folder and edit the plist manually with nano or whatever console text editor of your liking that is built in (I think the only other one is vi, but I'm not sure).

Thanks, but it didn't work for me. not sure I got the code in the correct spot in the info.plist though. I used pico on a back up copy the used Kext helper to install it. I still boot up fine though. Please let me know if the code in the info.plist looks ok. This is what I did:

No problem, if you have any more questions, just ask.  I'm on here and IRC.

Great Dense, finally I can get the SMART status and temperatures of my hard drives !

Here you are, enjoy !

How you have flashed your bios with another bios version?
I have a P5KC and i haven't AHCI option in bios setting.

[anibalin]

@cyclonefr: I have a ga-p35-ds3l and im using 3 of the 4 satas.
sata 1: hd with 10.5
sata 2: hd with vista
sata 3: dvd rw

I was using 10.5 today and had to burn a dmg into a dvd. Used disk utility to burn the image but I wont burn, "dvd is being used by another application" and "dvd drive is not able to burn image".
Turned off the box and put the dvdrw drive on sata2. Disk utility is currently burning the image while writing.

Had anyone have experinced this? Anyone using a dvd drive on sata 3 or 4?
Have a nice weeked guys, respect.

[booyahtown]

I also have a DS3L and I got all sata ports working but the drives are still reading as external even after the plist edit any ideas on a solution?

*update* I used the new Kalyway 10.5.2 release and all issues resolved.

[rramon]

sorry, but i still get "Unknown AHCI Standard Controller", i edited ich7 and renamed it in ich9 and pasted the id.
i´m sure i did something wrong but i have no clue
here´s the code could someone reedit and post it please? thanks!

EDIT:
this one´s solved, thanks to zarac! THANKS
i changed the code with bbedit in ich9r for those GA-G33M-DS2R users, working!
