E-Chris Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I want to use a Silicon Image 3114 SATA card in my Lion system. In the past (on earlier OS's), all I would do was add a line in the VIASATA.kext file.... but I don't see this file in Lion. How do I add support for VIA SATA or more specifically the Silicon Image SATA chipsets in lion? Appreciate any help, Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/271181-sil3114-appleviaata-in-lion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
haunteddevil619 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 You need AppleVIAATA.kext to boot into any OS X system using a Sis chipset. I have "Still waiting for root device" error otherwise. I needed to copy this kext into the setup first to boot the Lion installation. Then after installing Lion, I am in a process of installing windows on a second partition on the same drive and then copy the kext file into the mac partition on which I just installed Lion. It should then work. The kext files should be copied into S/L/E/ Basically you need AppleVIAATA.kext to boot into root device. Anybody has any idea how to install a kext along with other system kext along with the installer?
