AppleNForceATA 1.0.4 optimized for SL 32/64bit

What about the

 

pps fixed "out of 32b" KP

 

in this thread

sulphide didn't release his source of the patch.. so I could not patch myself, then add your "void AppleNForceATA::activateDMAEngine(void)" function

 

sulphide's does not support 64bit (because of the missing function), but it does not panic anymore on >3gb ram

So no 32b boundary fix -for over 4 gigs of ram with sata dvd working then?

I have an EVGA 680i board (MCP55) and decided to test out this kext.

 

Upon booting, I noticed that it had an unresolved symbol for “__ZN14AppleNForceATA17activateDMAEngineEv”.

 

I took a look at the included source code and saw that AppleNForceATA::activateDMAEngine() did not exist.

 

This was a simple fix.

 

activateDMAEngine() comes from IOPCIATA, so I looked at Apple's source and simply copied their function:

 

void
AppleNForceATA::activateDMAEngine(void)
{
 // clear error bit prior to starting.
 *_bmStatusReg = (UInt8) mBMStatusError | mBMStatusInt | (_currentCommand->getUnit() == 0 ? mBMStatusDrv0 : mBMStatusDrv1);
 OSSynchronizeIO();

 // set the address pointer.
 *_bmPRDAddresReg = OSSwapHostToLittleInt32((UInt32) _prdTablePhysical);
 OSSynchronizeIO();

 // activate the DMA engine.
 UInt8 theCommand = (_currentCommand->getFlags() & mATAFlagIORead) ? mBMCmdStartInput : mBMCmdStartOutput;

 *_bmCommandReg = theCommand;
 OSSynchronizeIO();
}

 

I compiled it and it loaded with no problem and works just fine.

 

Darwin Ishimura.local 10.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.4.0: Thu Jul 29 00:26:49 EDT 2010; dopefish:xnu-1504.7.4/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

 

I'm also using my own kernel based on the legacy patch, but without all the SSE3 emulation and rtclock stuff since I'm on a Core 2 Duo and don't need it.

 

Edit:

This likely doesn't fix SATA DVD drives. All I did was take AnV's driver above and make it load under 64-bit. Any chipset support or features would have been provided by him (or in the original MeDevil drivers).

 

Thanks This is the only version I have found that works under Lion.. I was in the middle of trying to build it myself when i got the missing symbol message and found this post. Thanks for saving me the work and headscratching

This works for me under Lion too. Glad I found it.

AppleNForceATA_Test 1.0.3 by MeDevil

SATA DVD Works. But 32-bit Only. and No Source Release

 

 

 

 

AppleNForceATA 1.0.4 SATA DVD No Works.

 

 

I use IORegistryExplorer Open View. There seems little difference.
