XoDeus Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 which error messages do you get? can you get into the installer? Have you tried disk utillity before continuing the install? What chipset do you have? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100680-help-leo-doesnt-recognize-hdd/#findComment-717978 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XoDeus Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 If you've set your SATA to emulate IDE in BIOS it will not work, reset all your BIOS settings and try agian... It looks like it is BIOS related. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100680-help-leo-doesnt-recognize-hdd/#findComment-719087 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoX Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I am having the same problem. leopard will not recognize my HD in the Disk Utility during installation. My Hard Drive is a IDE\ATA. I thought it was my Hard Drive kexts that was the issue. I think the real problem is really my Mobo. I have an ATI Chipset Mobo. Problem: Tiger installs fine but Leopard does not have my ATI Chipset support i think. Solution: Inject Tigers ATI Mobo kexts into Leopards installation disk (which i already know how to do) What i need help on is i need to know which kexts do i take from Tigers install to make Leopard support my Chipset? P.S. Screenshot below are is my Tiger Kexts from a working install on my PC (you may need to zoom in) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100680-help-leo-doesnt-recognize-hdd/#findComment-722084 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoX Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Could you explain how to do cause of someone said me that i need to insert the nforce ata drivers in leo4all...please help!!! Rochi in order to inject kexts into an ISO you have to do it within MAC or possibly Linux. TIGER 1. hdiutil attach /"Your ISO File" -readwrite 2. mkdir ~/inject 3. mkextunpack -d ~/inject /Volumes/YourMountedISO/System/Library/Extensions.mkext 4. rm -rf ~/inject/AppleNForceATA.kext 5. cp -rp /path/to/new/AppleNForceATA.kext ~/inject 6. chown -R root:wheel ~/inject 7. chmod -R 755 ~/inject 8. kextcache -m ~/Extensions.mkext ~/inject 9. rm -rf /Volumes/YourMountedISO/System/Library/Extensions.mkext 10. cp -rp ~/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/YourMountedISO/System/Library Eject, then reboot. LEOPARD 1. hdiutil attach /"Your ISO File" -readwrite 2. rm -rf /"Your ISO File"/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleNForceATA.kext 3. cp -rp /path/to/new/AppleNForceATA.kext /"Your ISO File"/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns 4. chown -R root:wheel /"Your ISO File"/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleNForceATA.kext 5. chmod -R 755 /"Your ISO File"/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleNForceATA.kext Eject, then boot hope this helps only wish somebody could help me...*sighs* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100680-help-leo-doesnt-recognize-hdd/#findComment-725671 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoX Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Ok I got one step further. I successfully installed it on a 500GB USB drive and it wont recognize my internal IDE\ATA drive. If i can find out my problem then i can clone it and restore it to my internal drive. Here is how I got this far, and step 4 is what I need to do still Step 1: "still waiting on root device" Step 2: used EXTERNAL USB DVD drive to get to installer but it didn't recognize HD Step 3: installed to USB hard drive Step 4: need to find out how to make it read my IDE\ATA internal HD then clone it to it. can somebody pleeeze help me get Leopard to recognize my Internal Hard Drive? fyi I am using a ATI chipset Mobo.

MotoX Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 SUCCESS on Gateway MT3707 "still waiting on root device" problem Here is the problem and the solution: PROBLEM: "still waiting on root device" Step 1: used EXTERNAL USB DVD drive to get to installer screen but it didn't recognize my HD Step 2: successfully installed to USB hard drive Step 3: injected some kexts from Tiger 10.4.9 which seemed to work Step 4: once it recognized my Internal HD I then cloned the Leopard installation from my USB HD to my Internal HD List of Kexts I injected: -AppleACPIPlatform -ApplePCCardATA -ApplePS2Controller -AppleStorageDrivers -AppleVIA -AppleVIAATA -ATINDRV -ATIRadeon.....(all of them) -IOACPIFamily -IOATAFamily -IOPCIFamily I dont know which one of these did the trick but all I know is is that it worked!
