Marvell 88SE6102 on ASUS P6T V2 Deluxe

[dramsey]

Well, I've got my Hackintosh working pretty well, and have written about it here. All the features of my ASUS P6T V2 Deluxe motherboard work...except the IDE port.

 

I'm using 3 SATA hard drives with the onboard controller in SATA mode. However, I can't seem to enable the onboard IDE controller-- nothing shows up in the ATA Device Tree in the System Profiler application, and yes, the Marvell controller is enabled in the BIOS. The HP Blackbird case I'm using has a slot-loading optical drive connected to the IDE port, and it would be really handy to have it working (a SATA optical drive connected to a SATA port works fine.)

 

Right now, my Extra/Extensions folder contains both AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext (which seems to be handling the SATA stuff, although the info.plist contains many references to parallel ATA drivers) as well as AppleVIAATA.kext. The info.plist file for the latter contains specific references to the Marvell controller, with the proper IOPCIPrimaryMatch code of "0x612111ab" as shown below:

 

		<key>VIA PATA Marvell</key>
	<dict>
		<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
		<string>com.apple.driver.AppleVIAATA</string>
		<key>Hardware Name</key>
		<string>Marvell 82SE6121 PATA</string>
		<key>IOClass</key>
		<string>AppleVIAATARoot</string>
		<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
		<string>0x612111ab 0x614511ab</string>
		<key>IOProbeScore</key>
		<integer>2000</integer>
		<key>IOProviderClass</key>
		<string>IOPCIDevice</string>
		<key>ISA Bridge Matching</key>
		<dict>
			<key>IOProviderClass</key>
			<string>IOPCIDevice</string>
		</dict>
		<key>Parallel ATA</key>
		<true/>
	</dict>

 

Still, nothing. I've been thrashing with this for a while. Any ideas?

Hm. Looks as though the Marvell controller is actually a 88SE6111. This implies the device ID in the kexts I'm trying to use is wrong.

 

I don't see any way to get the device ID from inside Mac OS since it doesn't see the device. I suppose I could connect another hard disk, install Windows, and look then, but that's hours of work. Does anyone have the correct device ID for this controller?
