raz Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi, I'm trying to install Mac Os X native on my PC with a Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 motherboard. Because of the bad performance of the IDE interface i want to install on my SATA disk. Before i installed OS X on a IDE drive and cloned it on my SATA disk. I changed AppleVIAATA.kext with the deviceid's i found in this thread : http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...=2188&st=60 and everything was working. But because of the limitation that i have to work with exactly the same partition table as on the IDE drive i wanna do a new install with a dvd that's allready patched with the right sata kext. What i did: I did mount the iso in mac os x and make it writable (hdiutil attach -readwrite ImageName.iso) After that i copied Extensions.kext from my working (IDE) install to the ISO. And burned the iso with Toast7 to a DVD. Now the DVD is bootable but the install stops with a "stop-sign" on the apple logo screen. Can anyone tell me how to patch the iso correctly with my sata settings? greets Raz (Sorry for my poor English) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22390-patch-iso-for-installation-on-sata-disk/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitr- Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 SATA-support on Nforce4-based motherboards is quite flawed and should be avoided. For some reason it seems to work pretty good on Nforce3-based mobos however....

raz Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 Hi Pitr, I have an Uli chipset on my motherboard. Sata is working good but i can't install from dvd directly on my sata disk. The question is how can i manipulate my dvd so that it recognize my sata disk by install ? greets Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22390-patch-iso-for-installation-on-sata-disk/#findComment-148630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitr- Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 If you have access to a real mac you can always make an image of the disk, then mount it as read-/writeable and then modify the kext to add your uli sata-chipset ID to it and then you just burn it back to a new dvd.

raz Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 that's exactly the problem i allready tried to make a new dvd, but when i boot from that dvd no disk is recognised. I'm searching for a detailed explanation how to make a patched dvd Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22390-patch-iso-for-installation-on-sata-disk/#findComment-148789 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitr- Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 But don't count on getting it to actually work. Very few SATA-controllers seem to work with the VIA SATA kext.... most of us solve this by having an old PATA-drive attached just to run Mac OS X and that's exactly what I've done.

raz Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 My sata controller is working very well after cloning from pata. My pata disks are performing very bad (3mb/s). That's why i want to install from dvd directly on Sata Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22390-patch-iso-for-installation-on-sata-disk/#findComment-149721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
