cjp87 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I don't believe that it's the common seating problem because the bios recognizes it quite consistently, so the motherboard is picking up the hardware at least, but every time I try to boot to it, the gray Apple splash screen locks up and puts a no (circle with a line through it) sign over the logo. The device works through the onboard USB adapter, with a fully functional OS, it's just a hassle to have a portable machine with a loosely dangling chip haphazardly hanging off the side. I've asked this before on a different board and gotten no response, so hopefully I'll have better luck this time. Thanks for all your hard work on everything in the OSx86 project!

thorazine74 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm not familiar with SSDs but it that thing got its own PCI-e module probably also has its own bridge controller chipset on it and OS X knows nothing about it. You can try getting some (rather low level) specs details about the device, how does that thing show up in Linux or Windows?

cjp87 Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 How exactly would I go about finding that out? I do have another SSD (the original Phison drive that came with the EeePC) that I could reload Linux on, but I'm not exactly sure where to look for what you're asking about.

thorazine74 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 If you have that working on Linux get a lspci -nn dump, also if the chips are visible try to identify them looking at them. Plugging it to the USB makes all the difference because the buses are all different (USB is standard, as PCI-e it would work as IDE, SATA, who knows...)

cjp87 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 The ICHx fix found on these forums (for IOATA family) worked! I finally have an internal, working, runcore SSD with Leopard! My only problems left are lack of brightness controls and wireless quits working after sleep. I'll get to those later, I suppose.
