Rovanion Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Situation: I got my Mac OS X installed directly to my separate 250GB harddrive via the VMWare solution using a disk Labeled Mac Os X 10.4 Tiger For Intel X86, Bootable And Installable. Not sure what the original distribution name is. I am using the SSE3 tech. The operating system is working correctly in my virtual machine where it is directly linked to my 250GB harddrive. But as I boot up into it I get an error. Error: Extension "com.apple.iokit.IOUSBMassStorageClass" has no kernel dependency Does anyone have some sort of driver modification that I could use or maybe some kernel arguments? Maybe someone else have a good cracked version of OS X that works on this kind, or any similar kind, of Dell machine. I've tried a couple of ones but this have been the only one that works this far. Might there be some fix for Intels Matrix Storage Mananger? I'm asking for all kinds of hints. Setup: Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Model: Dimention 9150 Processor: Intel® Pentium® D CPU 3.20GHz (2 CPUs) Memory: 2046MB RAM Hard Drive: 496 GB <-- Two harddrives RAID 0 Intel Matrix Storage Mananger 250 GB <-- Harddrive where Mac OS is going Note that the 250GB drive is not set into a RAID Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX Monitor: Dell 2405FPW 24" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/128528-os-x-installed-but-only-works-on-the-virtual-machine/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
candykane Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Well your machine specs Dell Dimension 9150 = (XPS 400) sould work fine under osx. leaves me to think 1 thing did you set your ide/sata drives to ICH 7 mode in the bios? remember if you do this this will break any windows installation thats not installed via ICH7 mode Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/128528-os-x-installed-but-only-works-on-the-virtual-machine/#findComment-910733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovanion Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 So how do I set my sata drive into ICH 7 mode? What does it do? Will it break all my data on the harddrive along with Windows? And does it affect all my installed drives or can I apply it separately to different harddrives?

candykane Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 setting your drive to ICH mode is done in the bios yes it will break your windows! its the only way osx will be able to controll your drive Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/128528-os-x-installed-but-only-works-on-the-virtual-machine/#findComment-913078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovanion Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 I've searched my BIOS as good as I possibly could, along with the internet for some way to change into ICH7 mode. But I cannot find any way to do it. Is there anyone with a Dell BIOS who knows how this operation is done?
