thepunkerguy Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Alright, well I know most people say you cannot have AHCI enabled and use all 4 SATA Ports on Leopard with the ICH9 Boards, spacifically my GA-P35-DS3L board. The other night when I was researching this, I could have sworn I found a page that had a fix for this or a way to make all 4 ports work without turning off AHCI. Does anyone on here know how to do it? I am kicking myself for not saving the page when I had it!! let me know - Mike Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94394-ga-p35-ds3l-ich9-sataahci-make-all-4-ports-work-how/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
zleee Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have AHCI enebled on my P35-DQ6 board, and everything works great (Leo Kaly 10.5.2). Didn't need any fix. 4 SATA HDDs and a SATA DVD drive are all connected to orange ports. I even turned AHCI after I installed Leo. Only issue I had was that HDD icons became orange, but that's an easy fix (just search the forum). Leo boots up now in 15 sec Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94394-ga-p35-ds3l-ich9-sataahci-make-all-4-ports-work-how/#findComment-672997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepunkerguy Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yeah, i have the GA-P45-DS3L board which only has 4 SATA ports and no RAID and from what I read, usually you cannot see more than the first two ports in Leo, but i sware i saw someone figure it out somewhere.. - Mike Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94394-ga-p35-ds3l-ich9-sataahci-make-all-4-ports-work-how/#findComment-673023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie11c Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I believe you will only see beyond the 2 with AHCI off. The AHCI drivers are not open source, so nobody has been able to work on them. The only fix is with AHCI off, and that was done by Dune.

There was someone last week who had gotten all 4 of their SATA AHCI ports to work on Leopard. I had found it when I was searching around the web but then lost the page and was pissed I had lost it! - Mike Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94394-ga-p35-ds3l-ich9-sataahci-make-all-4-ports-work-how/#findComment-684403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
