ati SATA problem


10 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I own a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pa 1510, with AMD turion x2 tl-50.

My dvd is attached to an ati (PATA i guess) controller with id 4376 (working)

while my hdd is on an ati SATA 4379 controller (NOT WORKING/RECOGNIZED).

 

I saw on the web that ati 4379 controller has the same chipset as Silicon Image 3112 so i was wandering if anyone with SI 3112 got it working...

 

Also, since the controller is supported under linux, do you think there could be a way for someone to port the existing linux driver to darwin/os x?

thanks rammjet, i'l give it a try and let you know if it works...

 

EDIT: can't test if it works, i'm getting this error at boot switching from vmware to native:

 

panic(cpu 0 caller 0x0019C352): Unresolved kernel trap (CPU 0, Type 0=divide error)

 

plus a dump of the registers and debugger backtrace.

 

How can i solve this? (i'm getting pretty frustrated seeing all this people getting osx working with no problem, b.t.w, but I WON'T give up! :lol: )

LAST news:

 

1) solved the kernel panic (had to turn OFF SSE3 patch that's not working fine on AMD).

 

2) Got the SATA hd on controller 1002:4379 recognized using modified AppleVIAATA.kext:

OH MY GOD, AT LAST IT WORKS NATIVE!

but then:

 

3) rebooted > waiting for root device

the only way i can get it working is zapping off the extensions cache every time before turning off os x.

 

(from terminal:

sudo su

rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

)

 

of course this is only a temporary solution. i'll let you know if i solve this problem (any idea is welcome)

it is beautiful to hear that is there a solution!

thank you!

 

Can you to me please exactly say what you did?

As in a Wiki; -)

 

Which OSX CD? Jas? 10.4.? Which Patch?

How did you proceed?

 

I am really grateful for your answer!

I must have OSX..; -)

 

 

 

Perhaps you can try your files to be only readable ...?

Or create a batch-file

boot -f kernel flag that do not need delete Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache before rebot

put -f into com.apple.Boot.plist
