factory Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I think MCP55 doesn't work. =( I saw in the internet that your sata chipset should it work. http://macx86.net/site/board.htm Here are using the same kext as you. Maybe the problem is the OS X version. You have to use 10.4.8 and better if there is JAS 10.4.8 SSE2 SSE3 INTEL AMD. My motherboard chipset is NForce3-250. Either way you'll use to make it work sata controller, I recomend you to use the PATA method. Good luck...

Pitr- Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 As long as you only read from your sata-drive, it should work fine. But if you try to write data to it you'll get data corruption until working MCP55-drivers are out..... old news ftw! In other words, it works fine if you're only going to use it to read from ntfs-partitions on a sata-drive but not for installing osx on a sata-drive.

bluedogmike Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 There is another thread somewhere that mentions this chipset, for 40 bucks you can use this card as a solution. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16815283005 here is the thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...SATA+RAID++Card Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35985-darwin-nforce4-atasata-controller/page/30/#findComment-372565 Share on other sites More sharing options...

b4k4 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hey! First post here. After extensive googling and searching through this thread, It looks like there is no support for MCP55 SATA. Is this correct? I've been playing around with my installation trying to get passed and endless string of "IOATAcontroller device blocking bus" errors, but if there is now solution I guess I should wait a while?

ffosilva Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I searched for FreeBSD NForce SATA but without success. In FreeBSD, MCP55 is not working too... I downloaded the source code of AppleNForceATA from SVN. I'm waiting for FreeBSD working drivers to try update actual driver.

0xdeadbeef Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Working partially on my Asus M2N-SLI (nForce5). Day-to-day operation stable, no data corruption or other problems. However on large reads (~1GB) I invariably get a kernel panic. I have compiled a full debug ver from source but don't have a second machine to hook up gdb and inspect the backtrace. Anyone else having similar problems?

BTW I have no pata drives installed. Screenshot of the panic attached - first line is cropped should say "panic(cpu 0 caller 0x003A1CEB): getPhysicalSegment() out of 32b range 0x10000000, len 0xa3000, class IOGeneralMemoryDescriptor" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35985-darwin-nforce4-atasata-controller/page/30/#findComment-382179 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0xdeadbeef Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 "panic(cpu 0 caller 0x003A1CEB): getPhysicalSegment() out of 32b range 0x10000000, len 0xa3000, class IOGeneralMemoryDescriptor" This panic can be worked around by setting "Kernel Parameters"<->"maxmem=2048" in com.apple.boot.plist It's a problem that only shows itself on machines with >2.5GB RAM when getPhysicalSegment() only will return a 32-bit address. solution is to use getPhysicalSegment64() or IODMACommand() instead. references: http://lists.apple.com/archives/darwin-dri...t/msg00006.html Example driver code (ADC): https://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObject...?bundleID=19672 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35985-darwin-nforce4-atasata-controller/page/30/#findComment-384876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelbz Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Any update on the MCP51 chips? Disk Utility will see the drive but get an IO error when erasing it. Sadly it's a laptop so using PATA isn't an option.

Azurael Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I don't think anybody is working on MCP51. Stop bumping the thread, it only annoys people, and won't get you anywhere. If you're that desperate to run OS X, buy a Mac.
