Vinnie881 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 sorry vinnie. when i read your post, i didn't see the question at the bottom. The IOATAFamily.kext fixes an issue with OS X recognizing the hard drive controller properly, I don't really think there is a permanent fix for this. Although, the kext you are using is actually one from tiger if you used the one in my guide and on taranfx's website.. (same one). I don't see why it would just "NOT Work"... but I would wait to see if anyone else comes up with a solution... I was able to modify my dsdt and resolve this. I no longer need IOATAFamily.modification. I posted a link how here. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=213506 thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a link how here. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=213506 thanks looks good. I've stopped hackintoshing for awhile. Even though i hate windows, i've decided to put 7 pro on my dell so that I can play games, at least until steam is released for mac this month. I have my macbook pro for that after the release!! :censored2: Definitely might reinstall SL on the dell though so that I can try your steps. I always wanted a vanilla install... keep up the good work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been busy with school. Anyways, I don't see any reason you wouldn't be able to load snow leopard on that machine. The only issues I see are with the wireless and the video drivers. You may need to dig around a little to find ones that work for you. I did see a post about the 1397, which said something or other about a broadcom enabler, might want to check that out. Also, your video card doesn't have an official kext yet, though a group of guys on this website have made great progress and actually have a patch that will give native resolution, but no QE or CE, which makes the driver pretty useless. You can check them out if you feel like seeing if they found a fix anytime soon...
