iradeon Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hey I have a ATI RS300M chipset, haven't been able to find anyone with a ATI chipset, but anyhoo I have been forced to come to a conclusion that there is something wrong or incompatibility with my HD and OS X. I've used the DD method and the Install DVD and it doesnt make a difference. My HD still has transfers of 2MB/sec which makes OS Xnot so useable. (1Min Boot Time, 5-10s to open an app, frustrating file transfers, etc.) If I run benchmarks for my disk in Windows I get 47MB/sec transfer rates. I have tried the AppleIntelPXIIATA.kext, doesn't work... removing IOATAFamily.kext makes OS X not bootable. Anyone have this problem as well? I am desperate fro a solution! My specs: Toshiba A75-S1253 Laptop 3.2 Ghz Pentium 4 Prescott w/SSE3 ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 60GB ATA HD 512 RAM ATI RS300M Chipset Can the AppleIntelPXIIATA.kext be modified to other chipsets instead of just Intel chipsets?

Mao Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Well... For what it's worth, I too have an ATI chipset and am experiencing the same problems... Thanx for letting me know that going thru the speed hack doesnt work. Running an HP ZX5000 p4 3.0 w/ HT SSE2 Radeon 9600 128MB M10 No ideas on how to move forward tho... Anyone?

Rod Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Well, I have an ATI RS200M chipset on my Compaq Presario laptop (P4 2,66GHz, sse2 only) and it works correctly. I used Bender12 patch and did nothing particular except I have to boot with platform=x86pc Good Luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Yes, your system will work. What they are saying is there is no real ATA driver for that chipset so the hard drive speeds are slow. You might not notice it, but it is still true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mao Hi, ive got an ati chipset to, and am having problems with the graphics and the sound, i cant get my native resolution of 1280x800, and are stuck at 1024x768 (streched screen) and no sound, im using a HP zx5045ea - simalar to yours - pentium 4 2.8 ghz ati radion mobility 9600 - the rc300m anyone got any ideas on how to get the display to work properlly - even black bars at the side of the screen would be an inprovment- i can live with no sound, but a streched screen, no. - Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i have bars on the side, I would still like to have my full 1280x800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitr- Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Well my BIOS allowed me to say if the display wants to be stretched, then dont let it be stretched. So i have bars on the side, I would still like to have my full 1280x800. 1280x800 is not a standard vesa resolution so you shouldn't be able to use that resolution. It will only work on computers with onboard intel graphics for which there is a workable driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elv13 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 i have a toshiba satellite A70, i can load nothing but i can see blue background and mouse using darwin boot disk rd=disk0s7 platform=X86PC this is how to stop the ATA waiting for root device, if someone can boot osx at 100% after, tell me how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proagg Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I am running 10.4.7 on a Presario R4000 with x200 chipset and AMD venice 64-bit 3200. So far all ATI drivers I've tried have sent my system to a crawl. Very unusable. When they are gone, my system flies as fast as windows. I have been working hard to figure this out for a week straight. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
