I'm Running An S5000PSL with Kalaway Leopard. Trying to do a Fresh install of Snow Leopard using Chameleon and Can't get hard disks to show up in disk utility???

 

You need to enable ACHI in BIOS, to see HDD in disk utility

 

SATA AHCI Mode [AHCI]

SATA Port0-3 Native Mode [Enabled]

USB Controller [Enabled]

USB 2.0 Controller [Enabled]

Azalia Codec [Auto]

Onboard H/W LAN [Enabled]

2. Power Management Setup

ACPI Suspend Type [s3(STR)]

HPET Support [Enabled]

HPET Mode [64-bit mode]

I did enable it. It's Always Been Enabled. Just did a firmware Update and Booting Installer Now. Very Strange always hangs at the Use English for the main Language Screen!

 

OK Still Not there in Disk Utility and When I go to System Profiler I get:

 

Mac Pro3,1

Dual-Core Intel Xeon

2.06 GHz

 

Under Serial-ATA is says:

There was an Error while scanning for Serial-ATA devices???

 

Also I have an nVidia 9600GSO For Video?

 

It does Detect the IDE DVD Drive?

 

Now I've disabled AHCI but enabled advanced SATA. Installer Boots MUCH faster but Still no drives. The in system Profiler I get a Serial-ATA controller, But with nothing connected to it???

Alright I figured out that The Intel AHCI Bios that loads is the issue, does anyone know where I could Find a KEXT and how do I add it to the installer???

 

One other tidbit is that if Kalyway worked, then there is no reason Why this shoudn't correct?

Well If anyone is still reading I am posting this from my Hackintosh

 

I had to set the SATA controller in Legacy Mode

I only can use One Monitor Port in my GeForce 9600GSO

 

These are the two big Issues I have to figure out. I am calling it a day :P

 

Anyone Who has any info would Be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks
