sirbow2 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 update your bios, if you cant still find it after update the n your mobo doesnt currently support AHCI and may support it with later bios updates.

Gringo Vermelho Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It is easier to install OS X in AHCI mode but it's not required. If your motherboard has an Intel ICHx Southbridge without AHCI capability (ICH5 and most versions of ICH7 for example) you can use AppleIntelPIIATA.kext. Some motherboards have more than one hard drive controller. ICHx usually has red SATA plugs, on newer motherboards they are blue. Look in your motherboard manual and make sure your OS X hard drive is plugged into the ICHx controller and not the other one (usually JMicron/Marvell). There are drivers for these but it's easier to get it to work with ICHx. Don't use somebody else's DSDT. For example, some address ranges change depending on how much memory you have installed, there might be other stuff as well. Extract the DSDT from your own motherboard and patch that.

LatinMcG Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 use non combined mode. separates all satas and no pata. at least thats how it is in my G31M-ES2L enable HPET . 64 bit or 32 bit. never noticed much difference. disable LPT and COM ports. its true dont get someone elses dsdt. but u can compare the .dsl to yours and see what was changed. dsdt patcher has premade patches. sometimes a combination of a few gets boot working. RTC, HPET, IRQNo removals and a few others.

Gringo Vermelho Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Visit the DSDT sub forum: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showforum=228 You don't 'create' a DSDT, it's already there, it's an ACPI code table that's part of your motherboard BIOS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Conf...Power_Interface There are various tools available for both OS X and Windows that will let you extract, decompile, modify and recompile it. When you place your modified DSDT.aml in /Extra, the Chameleon bootloader then pushes this DSDT to OS X instead of the original DSDT table in your BIOS.

Gringo Vermelho Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 It's a kernel extension. It's very clear from your screenshot. Here is the relevant bit: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1646 You installed it yourself, you are supposed to know where it is! Go to the TonyMacx86 forums and ask there, they will know what to do. http://tonymacx86.com/ Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/267754-cant-find-ahci-setting-in-my-bios/#findComment-1747969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
