Rammjet Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 During installation, if you go to the Utilities menu and choose Disk Utility, do they appear there? If so, select your OSX partition on the left and then click on Erase on the right.

Rammjet Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'm pretty sure OSX doesn't support that controller. Do you have a different controller on the mainboard that can handle IDE/ATA/PATA drives instead of SATA drives?

chevy2410 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Go buy a cheap controller card that is supported and plug into a pci slot. You should be good to go then.

Rammjet Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Go buy a cheap controller card that is supported and plug into a pci slot. You should be good to go then. There is only one SATA card with support and no PATA cards. SATA card is on Misc page in my signature.

N-JOY Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi I was checking and the controller is a LSI SAS 1068 and is soported by openBSD 4.Why is no by ox 10.4.8? How could I include this driver in to this released of osx? Any idea?

rw86347 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I have the same issue. I am trying to install on a SATA drive sitting behind a LSI 1068 (Sun U40 workstation). I keep thinking that there must be a driver for the 1068. It is the most popular SAS card on the market. Question... I am an old school unix guy. How do I modload a new driver into the kernel? modload lsi_something Insmod lsi_something.

vladthebad Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 N-joy, I've used a dualchannel U320 LSI SCSI PCI-X card.... IOreg's would help to get the 1068e working... doubly since the board I'm looking at has a 1068e on it... boot single user mode (-s), then /sbin/mount -uw / and then do an: ioreg -c IOPCIDevice > SUioreg then full boot single user mode: sh /etc/rc then get another ioreg: ioreg -c IOPCIDevice > SUFBioreg then reboot the machine into graphics user mode, and get another ioreg: ioreg -c IOPCIDevice > GUIioreg having all 3 helps sometimes... since then you can see what makes it through loginwindow, etc..... I think we may just need to add a device ID to: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleLSIFusionMPT.kext/Contents/Info.plist near line 60... <string>AppleLSIFusionSAS</string> <key>IONameMatch</key> <array> <string>LSILogic,sas</string> <string>pci1000,50</string> <string>pci1000,56</string> <string>pci1000,58</string> </array> try adding: <string>pci1000,59</string> I believe thats the device ID.... but not 100% positive yet, will need to see IOregs to be sure... anyways, try that.. see if it shows up.... still won't be bootable though I don't think.... Let me know. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35015-hd-problem/#findComment-516709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davinchy Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I also have this chipset. I have installed onto my SAS drives via the lsi connection with no problems. But I can't boot from the drives once the OS is installed. Let me know if you guys figured anything out.
