callmesnake Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Nforce sata controller on turion 64 laptops, no boot from patched ppf tubgirl dvd..help.! this is a ongoing issue, i've seen many posting battered around about patching the tubgirl image with ppf ( me devil nforce sata driver) ,to make this work.. It seem the new turion 64 acer laptops and other new cheapy gateways and other great chinese/ tawain sh*t . have a onboard VLSI chip made my nvidia it's a combi controller with a nvidia 6100 go video gpu / nvidia nforce sata controller and usb and nvidia Ethernet controller in 1 . we need a viable solution to making the tubgirl dvd boot on these new lappies as for the life of christ , I cannot get this to boot from the internal dvd drive ,or a external usb dvd-r drive. It gets as far as the mac os x boot loader and countdown loaded , then errors with a apple.boot .com .plist error and gets no further. It seems the dvd cant get the appropriate sata controller to boot the dvd drive . does any one have a clue around this.. please chappies... other wise the laptops gonna get it. ;-) with my lump hammer. ta Lee Acer Apire 9301awsmi 17'' laptop AMD turion 64 2.0 ghz 120gb sata hd dvd-rw nvidia 6100 go onboard Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44687-nforce-sata-controller-on-turion-64-laptops-no-boot-from-patched-ppf-tubgirl-dvdhelp/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmesnake Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 ok , it've found out its a Geforce 6150/430MCP, aka the MCP51 .. so i'm / we are dead in the water with out a driver till a openBSD programmer makes or ports a sata driver for this nvidia chipset to darwin . I'll put a stay of execution (the chop) on the acer for a few more weeks.
