nexuz6 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I am trying to put together the Snow Leopard installation DVD on my USB HDD. I used my macbook to restore the ISO to the Harddrive. I installed Chameleon 2 RC3 I have these kext files in the /Extras folder Disabler fakesmc AppleIntelPIIXATA When i boot it on my Desktop Dell Dimension 9200 it boots up the installation but no drives appear to install it on. And Disk Util only shows the USB HDD i booted the installation from. Missing a kext for my SATA controller? I think my chipset is a ICH9 and version i use of the AppleIntelPIIXATA should be ICHx compatible. Thanks for any help.

Look in the Optional Extras Folder in Chameleon 2 RC3 In the 10.6 subfolder are the SATA kexts.

I used the AppleAHCIPort.kext from Chameleon but it still does not show any drives in disk util.

nexuz6 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Ok. I got it installed on my HDD by disconnecting the SATA drive, used a SATA to USB cable and installed OSX. I also installed Chameleon RC3 I reconnected the HDD to the computer and boot into Chameleon and select my OSX partition. So now i got the "Waiting for root device". I found out that i have a ICH8-R Controller. and that the ID is 28208086. The bios is set to Auto/Raid (Dells AHCI setting) I edited this key in AppleAHCIPort.kext <key>ICH8RAHCI</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.driver.AppleAHCIPort</string> <key>Chipset Name</key> <string>ICH8-R AHCI</string> <key>IOClass</key> <string>AppleAHCI</string> <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x28218086 0x28208086</string> <key>IOProbeScore</key> <integer>2000</integer> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOPCIDevice</string> <key>Vendor Name</key> <string>Intel</string> </dict> Now AppleAHCIPort crashes on bootup. Anyone got any ideas what to try next?

c0rk007hck Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 This kext works: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?drmoyemx30m Put it in the /Extra folder, remove all mkext files, remove the id from all other kexts, and you'll enjoy osx!
