zapzupnz Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 they should upgrade the forums to a system where they can block you from downloading the driver when/if it gets released... i for one am looking forward to this. i cant say "oh it WILL be done" or "it never will be" but if we can support this guy, it might be done. if you wanna be a twit about it, you dont deserve to touch any of the fixes the community sacrifices time to make for no pay. without them, osx86 wouldnt run on anything at all. good work, ghak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cacak333 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 can some one tell me how to integrate the AppleNForceATA.kext into a dvd image? so that i will be loaded during installation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsidianX Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 cacak333 - you have to put it into the Extensions.mkext file... first you need the file which can either be extracted in TransMac on a windows machine from /System/Library or you can just go to the /Volumes/discnamehere folder in a mac installation... then you need to use mkextunpack: mkdir extracted mkextunpack -a i386 -d extracted Extensions.mkext stick the AppleNForceATA.kext into the extracted directory, add permissions (root:wheel, 755): mv AppleNForceATA.kext extracted/. chown -R root:wheel extracted chmod -R 755 extracted and then recreate your mkext file with kextcache: kextcache -a i386 -m NewExtensions.mkext extracted so now you've got your fancy pants NewExtensions.mkext which you can stick back into the iso (renamed to Extensions.mkext of course) with either TransMac which is easy as hell and will maintain the bootable status or there are some mac tools that'll mount the hfs+ partition in the iso read/write and now for my question: is there anybody out there that knows what i could look for or what i can do to fix the ATA driver to work for newer hardware? i have decent programming skills but have never coded a driver before so i dont know where to look for information or where to start hacking to make my stuff work... on my machine, whenever i try to mount a drive read/write or do any sort of write operation the HDD light stays on and the whole system locks up within a minute or two and i get this weird graphical thing where there's just colored diagonal lines all over the screen (like the screen got smushed and stretched over and over) i've heard that the timings are off in the driver which is why writing doesn't work and if there's any way i can update these timings by comparing the linux driver to this one then i'd be more than happy to do it to get mac osx installed on my internal hard drive instead of my ipod -.- EDIT: holy {censored}e i got my MCP67 to work \o/ thanks to MoiX's discovery with the same SATA device using ghakazian's AppleVIAATA.kext!!! :D EDIT2: alright, apparently this driver can only see the first 128GB of my 160GB hard drive... any way i can make it see the rest...?

debauchery1st Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Will this newly constructed driver include support for the nforce 430/410 SATA controllers? I have an hp dv6119us notebook, and I'd be happy to test out some code for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapzupnz Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 And I have a Compaq F503AU, part of the cheaper lineup of laplops with the MCP51 nForce 430 chipsets and its hard disk controller Wouldn't mind testing, I copied my DVD image to my external HDD so I can reinstall Mac OS X blazingly quick xD Yay two partitions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUCLEaR Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 for curious people, this is the same kext included with mac.nub's intel release. inserting this into an AMD dvd could possibly make it work with your PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokyovigilante Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Yeah, just inject the Extensions.mkext in my sig into your install DVD, and you should be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchpdv6835 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 so what have i missed? i've been w/o internet for some time and it looks like people have gotten this up and running on nforce 430/410 mcp51 or whatever? i understand that it's pio mode only but where/how can i get this file and can i patch that into uphuck 1.4a? and how?

filip007 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Kalyway 10.4.10 has found my nForce 5 (MPC55) SATA but still can't setup my HDD...is MEDEVIL driver. So...any info on this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclocked Tardis Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Kalyway 10.4.10 has found my nForce 5 (MPC55) SATA but still can't setup my HDD...is MEDEVIL driver. So...any info on this.... AppleNForceATA doesn't have write support for MCP55/51, unfortunately. You can use the AppleVIAATA.kext posted by ghazikan for temporary sata support on MCP55/51.

zandera Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 non lba support should be solved by preparig disk way to not say "Im bigger than 36GB" using HdaUtils2. Its designet to support older BIOS - non lba. Go find it and upload sw or better give a link. Its somethiink like samsungs NON LBA COMPATIBILITY jumper.... disk reports 36GB to bios and in starage has 250GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debauchery1st Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Yeah, just inject the Extensions.mkext in my sig into your install DVD, and you should be set. Just tried that, and it doesn't work on nforce 430. It can see the drive(s), but the installation freezes upon trying to format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrosan Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 You more than likely have an MCP51 or higher chipset.Don't expect it to work soon.The only driver that semi-works is merely a hack job by ghakazian posted a couple threads back.(And it more than likely will not work, might I add.)Sit and wait until a proper driver comes out, code your own, or give up.Those are your three options.I'm about ready to trade this dual core laptop for an older PowerBook, as I NEED OSX.ghakazian - Have you done ANYTHING since you last posted?(And BTW, you never replied to my last question.)If you're willing to give me some pointers on what you did last I may make another attempt at this.Stop being so secretive about all this "work" you're supposedly doing and shed some light on this chipset for the rest of us.- Necrosan One more thing, ghaza - NCQ is NOT required to make this chipset work, so get that outta your head if you're trying to port an NCQ implementation over to OSX. I've established this fact from reading about 300 threads on FBSD and Linux's problems with this chipset, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuja Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Judging by his signature, I think he probably has OS X installed on his PATA and his SATA is just an extra storage device he uses for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
