ICH7-R Question

[mdg]

Searched high/low, and can't seem to get an answer...forgive me if I am a dunce and didn't see it

 

I have a Bad Axe 2 and would like to set my SATA drive to AHCI. I do, and all is well, but when I go under System Profile it says Generic AHCI (null). I wonder if this creates performance inefficiencies? My MacBook Pro (C2D 2.33 Ghz) says ICH7-R, and I've seen other Hackintosh setups pictured here with ICH7-R in their System Profiler.

 

So, how do I get this to work on mine? Is there a modification, or a Kext?

 

Any advice/guidance would be appreaciated.

 

BTW -- obviously I'm on 10.4.8

 

Thanks!

Help out some guys (well at least me). I know people have it because of seen screen shots. We just need the package or a kext, or something

note that Hot-plug won't work neither in AHCI nor in RAID mode, at least in my mobo.
