Serhyi Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Boys, is any one can give me clear answer. Is it possible to use any SATA host adapter (Rocket RAID 2310,Sonnet Tempo E4i) as SATA controller and boot device. Just plug in SATA HD and install OSx86 on it. Hardware solution for SATA problem Mac OSx86. Asus P5KC motherboard. Many Thanks.

There is also a JMicron SATA controller on the P5K which you might try, didn't work for me though. Check out this thread - looks like you should be on the lookout for controllers with Silicon Image 3114 or 3514 chipsets: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=21552.

Serhyi Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Well, bad news boys. The Sonnet Tempo SATA E4i card does not currently support bootable volumes.
