Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SATA IDE Controller

Hi everybody

 

After some years being away from the hackintosh world, I decided to come back and tried to install Yosemite on my weird chinese mini computer (mobo WTM-i5HX, Intel Celeron 1037U).

 

Unfortunately I cannot enable AHCI. There is nothing I can do, I checked everywhere and there is no BIOS version to do that. My internal hard drive is not detected by the OSX setup, I can boot with no problem using the latest Chameleon, all my drives/partitions are seen on the boot menu, the problem is that the Disk Utility doesn't see anything but my USB stick.

 

In the Windows device manager, I can found the hardware ID of the controller on which the disk is plugged in. It is 1c01, with the manufacturer 8086 (Intel), more information here: http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/8086

 

In the original AppleAHCIPort.kext, I can see that the 1c02 and 1c03 are configured for the Intel6SeriesAHCI. I tried a ratchet insertion here by adding <string>pci8086,1c01</string> and ended up with a KP. I'm feeling close to a solution but cannot pinpoint what to do, where to insert that or how to do it.

 

Do you have any idea?

 

Thanks!

Thanks for the idea kvonlinee, it was almost it!

I edited the original Yosemite IOATAFamily.kext  > plugins > AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext > Contents > Info.plist and injected in <key>ICH8 Serial ATA</key>. I replaced the original IOPCIPrimaryMatch by

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x1c018086</string>
 

and boom my HDD appeared
