bluetoy Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hi, My hackinthosh works fine with Asus P5LD2 Deluxe under X86 10.4.7. I would like to add a SATA HD but my Intel ICH7R (I think this one should be supported) is in RAID 0 configuration because I use it for XP, so no way to use it with X. Is there a chance to use the Silicon Image 3132 SATA chip with OSX? I don' t know if it can be recognized under X. The system profiler info page shows no SATA connection avalaible at all, but there were few posts where they say that SATA become available as you connect the HD (to the Intel ICH7R) . Any success for the Silicon Image 3132? It needs any kind of special/extra/hack drivers? Or simply is not supported at all? I would like to avoid to buy a new SATA HD for nothing :-) Thanks for your help BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeSuKuN Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Sillicon image drivers for osx are aviable at it's official page, but no RAID aviable (yet?) just normal sata operation. http://www.siliconimage.com/support/suppor...amp;osid=3& Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetoy Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Thanks NeSuKuN, Is it normal even after installing drivers that system profile shows nothing under SATA ? BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeSuKuN Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 as they aren't RAID drivers and probably your 3132 is working on raid mode, first you need to flash yooour board with a base/ide bios, search on that page in the bios section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtefar Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 No you do not need to flash it, just change the PCIclass in the Info.plist and everything works (of course you need to set each drive in "concatenation" mode). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetoy Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Many thanks tomtefar and of course NeSuKuN, could you please tell me what exactly should I change about PCIclass in the Info.plist? Sorry, but I am not so skilled and thanks for this big help. BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
