Guest bikedude880 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Ah, I failed to mention that this one is only for PATA. SATA is being worked on right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclocked Tardis Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I can't get past "still waiting for root device" I really hate the fact that I'm unable to help more. Sorry and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuuey Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 great progress here, keep it^^, but one question: since it's a Nforce4 driver, any chance it can work on Nforce590? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bltzkrg Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Wish I could help with this testing... Unfortunately, i do not even have OSx running yet due to only having SATA HDs in my HP laptop with nF4... So unless I can get your patch to work prior to the installation, i cant assist. Although I want to really bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iMäcen Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Still waiting for root device with both versions of IOATAFamily. And that with PATA only connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeDevil Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Sorry for yesterday bikedude... (i f**k up my osx installation ) The driver you send me doesn't boot... it stuck on the "still waiting for root device". With the previous version (the non-debug one) i was able to boot fine from the pata drive (and no sata drive recognized). xbench result were not so encouraging... got a 6MB/s on sequential and random tests (the old drivers performed better, 20+ MB/s) Also, with the system recongized the smart status of the pata disk. This evening i'll retry the boot with the previous version, 'cause i've noticed a memory allocation failure when booting... (i don't remember the exact message) See u soon on the irc channel.

Slip Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Thanks for all the work on this bikedude 880 and all you guys. ! I have the EVGA mATX nforce4 board mentioned in the begining of one of these SATA threads. Only 1 pci, 1 pci-e and 2 pci-e's for SLI video. 4 SATA connectors. I'll try get some photo of the boot process, as the info there might be relevant to dev work being done here. Ramblings Installed latest 10.4.8vP1 on USB drive with DVD as master on PCI . Slow install works. But won't boot past root device with ATA drive in PC or ATA drive in USB enclosure. Mouse and keyboard have to be replugged in to be available at install screen , so this might be the problem with ext USB drive boot. Bios has USB options; v1.1, v1.1+2, Disable. SATA partions show up in install screen can't be reformatted though. as well got a system volume error booting back to windows but no corruption of data. Learned to remain optimist with this OS lots of good things are happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slip Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 SATA saga. Short version My fault-- i didn't realize that PATA is ATA i thought it was an early SATA drive using the sata connector. My board won't install osx on the ATA single attachment. Long Version Ended up installing osx AMD on Sata drive inside intel case. I accidentally rebooted my AMD XP install on the drive and either that corrupted my XP or the osx on the second partion did during the waiting for root or the install. Hmm I restored SUSE 10.2 with boot loader etc. THe best I can do is boot XP to safe mode it reboots if normal boot is choosen. Ending with ; The AMD box has a osx AMD installation partition if a nforce4 driver is released. The windows partition well I quess it's re + re as i didn't back up. There will be other issues besides the sata one on this board , fixing usb and havn't got to sound etc. Thats it for now Organic virisus can be worse than digtal . Hope your over it BikeDude stll hanging on here but not a severe one. EVGA mATX NF44 AMD San-Diego 3700+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
