iMäcen Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) I don't think so. He now has got the kext to load without any errors. It's just that it can't find our devices. Give him time.

rabbit_ Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I'm sending you good energy bikedude! This is most likely a silly question, but can people with nforce read SATA drives at the moment?

Guest bikedude880 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Screenshot courtesy of iMacen: This points out a very simple to fix error. IOResources: family specific matching fails. Now, if this error is linked to this kext and not another one, then this should be a simple fix. If it isn't... I don't even want to think about it...

Guest bikedude880 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Ok, I think I know what went wrong the last time. This new one is for SATA ONLY! I haven't added in the IOKit Personality in Info.plist yet. That will come once I get confirmation that I either screwed up this test or not.

timmyj Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) whats the best way to install this, i copied it to system library extensions, then i put OnboardPCATA inside your IOATAFamily.kext, so I got PATA support, is that the wrong thing to do? or do i just leave as it but if it doesnt boot then what can i do?

You aren't supposed to put the OnboardPCATA kext inside IOATAFamily. What I am providing is all ready to go. Just open up a Terminal and type: sudo sh repair.sh That shell script will repair the permissions on the kext and remove the mkext and kextcache files. However, you say that OnboardPCATA gives you actual ATA support?

timmyj Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) when i dropped AppleOnboardPCATA.kext into the PlugIns directory of your IOATAFamily.kext it booted fine, your driver loaded however SATA was not detected, and i had SMART Status verified (on my PATA Drive) which i didnt have before, however just dropping that kext in unchanged had still waiting for root device for me Edited January 8, 2007 by timmyj Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35985-darwin-nforce4-atasata-controller/page/4/#findComment-270762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikedude880 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Feedback people, feedback. Even if it's "This stupid POS doesn't work. Fix it you {censored}!" I would be happier. Otherwise I'll just lose the motivation (as this project in no way benefits me).

Guest bikedude880 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Ok, seeing as my first attempt had better luck, I am reverting back to that source. This time, I have included IOATAFamily compiled in debug mode so that a little more information on any errors that might arise. Backup IOATAFamily.kext and AppleOnBoardPCATA.kext. Drop the new ones from the archive into /System/Library/Extensions and run the provided script. Reboot and hope it loads. nForce4__IOATAFamily_and_OnboardPCATA__DEBUG.zip IOATAFamily.kext.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35985-darwin-nforce4-atasata-controller/page/4/#findComment-271401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
