Fixing the disc i/o

You simply need to enable the driver for your IDE controller. In my case, this was AppleVIAATA.kext. Open a terminal and type the following:

 

sudo -s

<type your password>

cd /System/Library/Extensions

chown -R root:wheel AppleVIAATA.kext

chmod -R 755 AppleVIAATA.kext

 

Now reboot, making sure you enter -x at the bootloader for kernel options to bypass the caches. If it worked (check System Profiler=>Extensions and you should see the VIA driver loaded), you must now make it permanent using the following in Terminal:

 

sudo -s

<type your password>

cd /System/Library/Extensions

mv AppleVIAATA.kext IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns

rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

 

After reboot it should now use the VIA driver.
