<<my bad, should be b0 error, not d0>>

 

Hello all,

 

Just some quick help, ive installed 10.4.3 several times on this machine but all of them on a PATA drive, native install from a patched ISO of 10.4.3.. normally runs great, but HDD performance was poor since the 915GUX only has one PATA IDE channel, so I had to share it with the DVD ROM Drive - nasty....

 

Anyway, got my hands on a nice new 250GB SATA drive for my OSx86 box and figured I would do a fresh install....

 

Yikes, no luck, the installer wouldnt find my drive on the SATA port, so I changed the setup in the BIOS to look at the SATA port as a legacy device... no good....

 

If I bung the PATA drive back into the equation, with the SATA drive, it will install onto the SATA drive quite happily then, however, now, i get a b0 error when the system boots, and will only work if it boots from the DVD....

 

Ive tried a fresh install without the PATA drive, and for some reason, the installer will see the SATA drive now, I can format it, but cant make it my startup drive...

 

Any suggestions? are there some KEXT's I need to copy to the ISO so OS X recognises the drive and SATA controller?

 

Many thanks

 

Seano
