daddyo Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hi, I'm running an ASUS P4P800E which has an intel south bridge, so ICH5 (?) onboard. This is supposed to be supported under 10.4.3. Does anyone know if you can boot off a RAID1 volume on OSX? And if its possible, has anyone tried it ?

Braveheart Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Mate i tried for weeks with 10.4.1 with no success but i have only tried a couple of times with 10.4.3 with no luck. As Far as i know there is no sata drivers. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5116-osx-1043-on-sata-raid1/#findComment-32518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddyo Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Bravehart, what was the hardware you were trying on? AFAIK the Intel DTK's come with a single SATA HDD on an intel controller, so there should be some support for that config.

macgirl Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 @Braveheart, there are SATA drivers for Intel and VIA, what aren't there are RAID drivers for those chipsets. I can setup a RAID with 10.4.1 with two of my IDE Ports but since the partition Disk Utility creates is Apple Structure it wont boot, I can only mount the RAID volume as second disk, very fast, as fast as RAID created in BIOS. Hope in the future we can have RAID (with boot obviously) with software or hardaware + drivers.

daddyo Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 @macgirl I've noticed on the partition tab of disk manager there is an optoins button that allows you to choose either apple partition scheme or mac partition scheme. my ASUS P4P800E is a bit picky about booting from different disks, i actuall think its the CDROM drive that is nearly dead, but I do't have one to replace it. So I use Smart Boot Manager on a floppy drive to choose th eboot block to load. Maybe that can get around the booting issues. Once there is a viable patch for 8f1111 i'll blow away my nstallation and try again on a part of SATA drives, so i'll let you know how it goes then.

macgirl Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 @macgirl I've noticed on the partition tab of disk manager there is an optoins button that allows you to choose either apple partition scheme or mac partition scheme. That option permits you to make a HD bootable on PPC Macs, but when you choose to create a RAID there is no option to choose from, I analize the partition after I created the RAID a here is no MBR on the disk as needed to boot on a PC Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5116-osx-1043-on-sata-raid1/#findComment-32807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
