Patching AppleViaATA.kext in Kalyway DVD to install MacOSX on a Asus P5VD2-X SATA Disk.

The Kalyway 10.5.2 does not recognize the SATA Controller of ASUS P5VD2-X or MX by default. The way to make it work is including the strings '0x53371106 0x2363197b' into the AppleViaATA.kext file.

 

But I only could do this change after install MacOSX in a IDE disk. Since of that, I've been trying to do this change in the DVD to install the OSX directly in a SATA disk. But until now, I didn't have much success.

 

I created an ISO file from the DVD with the 'dd' command, after that, I mounted it with 'hdiutil attach -readwrite -owners', did the patch on the AppleViaATA.kext file and unmounted the image with 'hdiutil detach'.

 

After this steps I burned a DVD with this new image, but the DVD doesn't boot the PC.

 

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

 

PS: I also tried to install the iDeneb 10.5.5 on my hardware but it hangs during the boot.

 

Thanks!

Did you repair permissions......

 

cd /System/Library

sudo chown -R root:wheel Extensions

sudo chmod -R go-w Extensions

touch Extensions

kextcache -a i386 -m Extensions Extensions.mkext

Thanks for helping... But, unfortunately a got an error on the last step:

 

sh-3.2# pwd

/Volumes/Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Intel_Amd/System/Library

sh-3.2# chown -R root:wheel Extensions

sh-3.2# chmod -R go-w Extensions

sh-3.2# file Extensions

Extensions: directory

sh-3.2# touch Extensions

sh-3.2# kextcache -a i386 -m Extensions Extensions.mkext

kextcache: /Volumes/Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Intel_Amd locked; waiting for lock

kextcache: proceeding

can't add repository (unspecified error).

couldn't find any valid bundles to archive

 

Any idea?
