luca_boy Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hi everybody, Can anyone send me a PM explaining how can I find the kext for 10.4.4? I still have the sata harddisk problem... Thanx for your help! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6995-ahci-works-on-intel-boards-with-new-1044-kext/page/3/#findComment-49816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
39thRonin Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I just dropped the two AHCI files into my extensions folder, fixed permissions, rebooted, turned on AHCI in my BIOS, and voilà, Mac OS X support S-ATA natively on my Intel D945GTP Board. Hooray! Wow - I just did this and it works like a champ. Everything is a bit crisper feeling. It may only be a 5% increase, but it feels like more Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6995-ahci-works-on-intel-boards-with-new-1044-kext/page/3/#findComment-49841 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juurlo Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I have looked if it is loaded, and I have discovered that it was not!after kextstat no AHCI driver there... kextload did the work, but I can't tell if there is any diference. maybe someone who has it loaded in boot time can do xbench to ensure it has some effect. I just installed the AHCI kexts, just dropped the 2 kexts in extensions folder, fixed permissions and rebooted. Results: - XBench score up by almost 2 points from 80.77 to 82.58 (solely due to faster disk access) - SATA WD Raptor 1500 got a significant speed boost: Disk Speed Bench X shows transfer rate boost from 84MBytes/sec to 92/MBytes/sec - My older Maxtor SATA drive is just a tiny bit faster with AHCI enabled, so the effect seems to depend on the drive firmware quite a lot. My conclusion: If using Intel D945GNT mainboard and SATA drives, you propably should install the AHCI kexts.

thefighter Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 So how do I do this? I'm lost....:S I want to run my sata hard drive natively, and I have nforce4 chipset. I cannot get the right extensions I want, and I don't know how to create my own (Seeing as you have to have osx working to do it) A little help would go a long way. Thanks TheFighter Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6995-ahci-works-on-intel-boards-with-new-1044-kext/page/3/#findComment-53898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemattoad Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Does anybody know how to get the AHCI drive to work for a ICH6R controller in RAID mode with a non-RAID disk. Basically, I have a RAID 0 for my drives in windows, but i have a 3rd SATA disk on teh controller that is NOT in RAID. This standalone disk is therefore on an AHCI port, but the controller is set to RAID. Is it a simple matter of changing device IDs in the kext? <Answered my own question> I modified the info.plist in the kext and changed the IDs of the ICH7-M to that of my ICH6R and now it works great.
