eddie11c Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 OK did some more research, the integrated video may not be the problem. There are 2 IDE controller Device ID's for this board. 055010de and 056010de. The first being in IDE mode and the second in AHCI mode. Currently I don't think AHCI is supported by any NforceATA kexts. Your Bios is limited and has no options for turning AHCI on or off. We are looking into more to see if AHCI is enabled by default, will report back when we get further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffsta Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Yeah i cant turn ACHI mode off within the bios kinda sucks, keep us updated mate so many people need a solution for this problem. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonlazer Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Interesting stuff. Before my Laptop was taken away I was Triple booting XP, Vista and Mac (Mac on an external). Wouldn't XP crash if ACHI was enabled wouldn't it just crash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aku Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 all our problems would have come to an end if only there was the sata/ide option in our bios... Now, keeping that in mind, is there any hack available for the bios? I know it would be risky, but its worth a try @eddie, May god bless you mate, it seems you are seriously doing some hard work on this case, once again good job mate! Do keep us updated with your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

argonlazer Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 I finally got my laptop back! I tried the nForce old and it did detect the drives! I tried to format one of my partitions except it just took forever and just gave me an I/O error. I installed it to an external but to my surprise the drives didn't show up as readable within OS X? Is there any up date on this eddie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aku Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 This morning, even i tried the old nforce ppf... While booting off the dvd, it took forever, the process did freeze for a couple of minutes, but then again it started. The DiskUtility was able to detect the drives, but when i tried to format them with MacOS Journaled option, the video went choppy and ultimately, it went off with hazy stripes all over the display... even i was wondering, is there any news from eddies side? I was just wondering, if leo4allv3 gold will be able to detect the drives or not... i'm outta dvdr's as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmercin Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 there is a leo4allv3 gold? :mellow: its good a good new that the disk utility detect the drives, i think we just need wait for more news from eddie keep the good work eddie thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie11c Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I am still working on this guys, be patient. I have 2 things to try, but it takes time to get the ppf patches to work so someone can even test. I should have alot more time next week to work on it, so am hopeful to find a resolution finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
