Thico Alves Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi, I've heared that the 10.4.8 kernel have a better support for SATA drives (I know about the data corruption too). I have a notebook with nForce 410/430 controller but it can't boot nativelly because of the SATA controller. Do you think that using this new kernel by semthex I can unless boot my computer to OSX?? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35234-nforce-410430-with-1048/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealRemnant Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Unfortunately, nForce4 410/430 both use an IDE-SATA bridge, out of which, only the IDE is supported by OS X. Someone would have to compile the SATA support into the IDE driver in order to get it to work, since OS X can't have two kexts access the same device. I have a TForce 6100-939 and I've tried everything to get the SATA to work. The plus of having the bridge is that you don't need drivers for Windows and it works for most other OSes... but OS X will not see the SATA drives no matter what you do.

gotoh Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Well, I have nforce 410/430 and I'm able to mount my SATA drives + PATA drives in OSX. I only need to add the SATA device ID in the appropriate kext but the problem is VIAata.kext is not stable to run nforce SATA chipset, so it will just crash/freeze your OS X. Better use a PATA disk for the moment... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35234-nforce-410430-with-1048/#findComment-252001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 but the problem is VIAata.kext is not stable to run nforce SATA chipset The fix is also well know to create data corruption, especially on larger files.

Thico Alves Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 I can't even boot on my MacOS using the AppleVIAATA kext.... =[ I tried many times but it give me many errors.... The problem is that my nForce410/430 is on my notebook, so I can't simply "change" it or put an PATA HD inside... =[ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35234-nforce-410430-with-1048/#findComment-255241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotoh Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 so you just can't do native OS X boot on your laptop. The only way you might be able to run it is on external USB2 drive, if you have fully working USB2 in OS X - which might not be the case if you're running an nforce 430/410 chipset, so far, I couldn't get USB2 to work with this chipset in my desktop, I had to put a LaCie PCI USB2 card, which does not support booting from an external drive. You could also boot from USB 1 external HD, which will be darn sssslllllloooooowwwww...
