What does your update achieve......?

It has the Info.plist updated with compatible id's so it can work on any version of Leopard.

It has the project updated and is built with LLVM GCC 4.2 with flags on for running fast...

It has deprecated warnings out...

I ask because nForce SATA controllers on 630i MOBOs seem to have problems with "still waiting for root device" errors with other AppleNForceATA kexts......

 

00:08.0 IDE interface [0101]: nVidia Corporation Unknown device [10de:056c] (rev a1)

Does this also fix the 4gb ram, like slashack?

Good question... it should... test it...

EDIT: Checked, the tester had 4GB of RAM so yes...

It's latest version from SVN (was V1.0.3 so...).

I just modernised it a little...

Hi Andy!

 

Thanks for this.

 

You read my mind or maybe my topic? hehe :) :-

 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=159246

 

Does this also fix the problem with SATA speeds and DVD / DVD-R SATA issues?

 

Cheers,

 

HC :wacko:;)

Well, the tests we have done so far it suggest it works OK...

Haven't got someone with SATA DVD drive though... so I can't test that...

It should allready be a lot faster though...

Are you able to add in IDs for 630i NForce MOBOs?

 

00:08.0 IDE interface [0101]: nVidia Corporation Unknown device [10de:056c] (rev a1)

00:0e.0 SATA controller [0106]: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7100/nForce 630i [10de:07f4] (rev a2)

 

Or do these restrictions (according to MeDevil) still apply :

 

Know AHCI SATA enabled chipset device+vendor id: 0x044c10de 0x044d10de 0x044e10de 0x044f10d 0x055010de 0x055110de 0x055210de 0x055310de 0x056010de 0x055410de 0x058410de

Know AHCI PATA chipsets device+vendor id: 0x056010de 0x056010de 0x056c10de 0x075910de

 

If your chipset is in the "Know AHCI SATA enabled chipsets" then you CANNOT USE THIS KEXT!

If your chipset is in the "Know AHCI PATA enabled chipsets" then you can try to use this kext for the pata handling, but this is not tested, so try at your own risk!

I have a SATA DVD RW drive just tell me what to do and will test it.

 

Burn a CD/DVD

 

hehe :censored2:

 

Another thing - How do you examine kext dependencies? I have to type -f on my friends pc at boot time due to a buggy? disk controller kext and think it may be due to a kext dependency problem.

Force updating extensions cache... I had the same problem with a friends PC... even removing Extensions.mkext didn't work...

I fixed it like this under Terminal:

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

This will force updating the cache and should fix it...

Well, install kext and see if you can burn a disc with it...

Allready 2 negative reports on this so I might have to look into this...

do you think it will working on newer invidia geforce 9300/i730 chipset motherboard?

Depends on the controller ID...

I could check if I had your .ioreg file (Generated with IORegistryExplorer)...

Hey Andy,

 

does it support NF4? I'm having trouble working on 64 bit when i get just 1,3gb free memory. I think its because of the ATA-Kext... But i can run 64 bit apps...strange. well, please answer me :)

 

greets

NF4? without controller device ID I can't answer that...

 

What kind of motherboard does your friend have? I'm wondering if the 4GB works for the new 9300/9400 chipset

I believe one with an nForce 630 chipset...

i'm very glad to give you my ioreg.. but now i've bought 2 new mobo (i think they're the future.. depend on what Apple say that will use in 2009 on newer macbook!) with MCP79..

 

then.. i've bought a mini-atx and a micro-atx with invidia chipset (all-in-one) geforce9300/i730..

 

and that's the problem

i cannot boot over the loading of the kernel.. after that i've nothing!

 

then.. do you know a way (external of mac.. obviously) to obtain a ioreg?

btw.. the 1st mobo is

ASUS P5N7A-VM

I got 2 SATA DVDs, just let me know if you need a tester ;)

Hope you can make dvd burning working :D

Hey Andy,

 

My NForce 4 Device ID's should be 0x10de0053 0x10de0054 and 0x10de0055

 

 

 

from lspci:

 

00:06.0 IDE interface [0101]: nVidia Corporation CK804 IDE [10de:0053] (rev f2)

00:07.0 IDE interface [0101]: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller [10de:0054] (rev f3)

00:08.0 IDE interface [0101]: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller [10de:0055] (rev f3)

 

would be great to know :D

-=n3rd=-,

 

I just checked the source code and youre id's are listed there, so it should work...

 

IDE

#define PCI_NFORCE_CK804 0x005310de

 

SATA

#define PCI_NFORCE_CK804_S1 0x005410de

#define PCI_NFORCE_CK804_S2 0x005510de

 

Edit:

 

This are all the id's listed that should work...

#define PCI_NFORCE_MCP65_S3	0x044e10de
#define PCI_NFORCE_MCP65_S4	0x044f10de

 

And maybe a stupid question but what exactly does this mean

 

/*

* Two ATA channels max.

*/

#define PRI_CHANNEL_ID 0

#define SEC_CHANNEL_ID 1

 

Does this mean i can only use 2 sata ports??
