charlienail Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 hey everyone i have a dell xps 8100, the chipset is h57. i believe that means that it is ich9r the dell bios is weird, there's no ahci on or off just ATA mode or RAID. i've tried to boot using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (tonymac) but i get the "waiting for boot device" error. basically: has anyone with an xps 8100 got their sata ports working? which kext did you use? thanks!

USE RAID mode and you also need to inject AHCIPortinjector.kext into /Extra folder of the installation Disc. in raid mode it's ICH8R for studio xps 8100 and you don't need to modify AHCIPortinjector.kext, it is already added there. I use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] then iAtkos S3 V2 Disc for installation. Without AHCIPortinjector.kext you can successfully go to Installation screen but disc utility will not show/recognize any sata drives. Dont forget to take out ram if your system is more than 4GB. You can insert more Ram after it's successfully installed and boot. go here for further instruction: http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=12825 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
