vaderd Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 My device ID's are: 0x005410de and 0x005510de DFI Ultra-D nF4 I do have the problem though that some of my NTFS partitions don't get recognized. Doesn't seem driver related, but partition scheme related I think. I do have to repartition all my SATA drives anyway to get R/W on all of them from Windows and OS X.

orakle Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Could someone post detailed instructions on how to get SATA working on nForce3/4 motherboards? I'm having trouble understanding what needs to be done to get this working. I've got my device IDs.. 0x005410de and 0x005510de but I'm not sure where to go from here. Thanks!

phor2zero Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 yes add yours there, for my nforce3 a2 it's 0x00E3110DE, if you get it working post your device id too I'm sorry Myzar ... exactly where do I put my device ID? I'm looking at the Info.plist in AppleVIAATA.kext which string do I replace? for which key? I have 2 sata device id's for an nforce4. Should I put both of them in with a comma separating them?

phor2zero Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 WOW!.. it works! - Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Nforce4 Dev ID's 0x005410de 0x005510de My native install now recognizes my SATA2 drive. However, it only sees the Logical Partition I use for media files. OS X doesn't see my windows C: partition. Of course this is fine. It means if I want to purchase another SATA2 drive (or repartition) I can run OS X on a SATA2 drive! I bet that would boost my Xbench scores. This is GREAT!... now theres only 1 thing left to fix!

vaderd Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 OK. I do have some problems. First SATA drive (the one with OS X, Windows and other partitions) work without a problem. My 2 other drives don't correctly. While booting I get a "IOATAController device blocking bus" bus. 1 error when I connect 1 "extra" drive and 2 of the same errors when 2 more drives are connected. Both don't get recognized by OS X then. OK, they do get recognized, but can't be read. When more drives are connected every channel get's the same IRQ, so maybe that's the problem?

orakle Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 BAM It works on my nForce4 Asus A8N-SLI! Thanks Myzar! Edit: Hm.. after a second reboot it seems now it does not work. OS X states that the extension is not "authentic" and refuses to load it, suggesting I get an update to it to fix the problem. What now? On boot: System extension cannot be used. The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/AppleVIAATA.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update. On manual load attempt: kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleVIAATA.kext is not authentic (check ownership and permissions) It worked once.. I saw my windows drive and everything on it but now it's gone :/ Thanks for your help.

vaderd Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 How many drives do you all have working with the driver? Did it ever corrupt your data. One time, OS X wouldn't boot because some files couldn't be found. On next reboot, it was fine again. So maybe under some circumstances the driver looses data? 2 more errors I get: After loading the Extensions on boot, it says the "There were errors and pause for 5 seconds" thing and during boot the system pauses because of a IOKitWait error. Noone else get these? Maybe someone could send me his/her whole working AppleVIATA.kext?

jeroenm Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hi, Is it possible to edit my iso so i can install using my SATA drive ? Jeroen Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11034-sata-on-nforce3-working/#findComment-69791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaderd Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 @jeroenm You'll need to create a custom Extensions.mkext and then put it in the ISO with Transmac or something. If I'm right, you can create the mkext using the "kextcache -k Extensions" command ins your "/System/Library" folder. So you'd need a working (VMWare?) install. @orakle Repair your permissions using the Disk Utility or sudo chmod - R 755 /System/Library/Extensions sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11034-sata-on-nforce3-working/#findComment-69893 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaderd Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Does nobody else has problems with the driver "hack"? No "IOATAController blocks bus" or "IOKitWaitQuiet()" error? No freezes? Please try to copy larger amount of data from one SATA disk to the other and proove it's stable.
