Hi everyone!I have this card installed and I finally have it working and recognized under XP x64, with one hard drive attached and formatted. However, SL does not see the card after installing the 10.6 base driver (I do not need the raid functionality; just needed to add another hdd and another burner). When I do a "ioreg -b -x -l | grep 3132" I get :

" | | | | "compatible" = <706369313431322c3336333000706369313431322c31373234$".

 

and when I do "lspci" I get "09:03.0 SCSI storage controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3132 Serial ATA Raid II Controller (rev 01)".

 

My motherboard is a Supermicro X7DAL-E in case that helps, running SL via the iHack boot disc. The card does not show under System profiler either. :)

Have you checked for a Sil3132 kext in /System/Library/Extensions and also if your card device ID is in the kext Info.plist file......?

Thank you for responding man... I actually have two kexts: one is SI3124r5.kext, the other is SiliconImage3124u.kext. The plist from the first one is:

Unfortunately that did not work...it was the first place I went to looking for drivers; nstalled the beta base driver and the card doesn't show up anywhere in my system except when I do a lspci...

 

Run your Snow Leopard in 32-bit mode. AFAIK any 3124 card (raid or non-raid) isn't supported under 64-bit Snow Leopard. I have been using a SYBA 3124 PCI card for my 4 SATA optical drives for quite a while with complete success since 10.6.

 

Hi can i use a 1TB sata disk on a SL 10.6.3 or it is to high

 

You can use any size of drive under SL 10.6.3 - the maximum size limitation lies on what your controller can support.

Hi verdant

 

I presume you're jist is to add 3124 dev id to the 3132 64bit kext... ?

 

Has anybody tried this yet? does it work ?

There are actually 64-bit drivers for the 3124 chipset, they were just not widely known. See my post here.

I don't think that will work. See my recent post for a functional 64-bit driver for the 3124 chipset.
