edridh Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Apologies if I'm going to annoy anybody by not finding the info myself but I honestly have searched top and bottom, maybe I'm missing something. Anyway I really want to get osx86 working on my pc and this should hopefully be fairly simple as I bought my components with this in mind but it seems that it's not at all. When I tried installing it before I had some huge farce fiddling about with everything (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=83698) Now I've got rid of IDE, everything is using SATA which I hope should make things a bit easy. My motherboard is the 965p-ds3, my hard drive is in the top yellow SATA port (closest one to the CPU) and my DVD drives are in the two purple ports. How do my IDE/SATA/AHCI BIOS settings need to be configured exactly. Screenshots of the BIOS or explanations would be awesome. The install I'm using is Kalyway 10.5.1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97086-problems-with-kalyway-how-should-my-965p-ds3-be-configured/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The install I'm using is Kalyway 10.5.1 My last machine used that board as I remember the settings for it you use the ACHI for both of the controllers not the native or whatever it is called bacically when you boot you should be seeing it doing the detection with both controllers the Intel telling you it has the one hard drive on it and the Jmicron telling you that you have two ODD1 & 2 drives connected to it if you see the drives get detected like IDE ones do with no controller doing it then the settings are wrong. Then for OSX itself you need the NX Protect enabled and the HPET setting set to 64bit I think that was all I needed.

edridh Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks for the help. Is there anybody else who can offer some info or confirm on this. AHCI is not very friendly within windows because I initially installed without it on, so I'm going to reformat the whole thing and start again (unless anybody is thinking this is unwise - I was getting hard drive errors within Vista when ahci was on). So just some confirmation of that or more detail to add if possible before I go and reformat the whole lot.

Thanks, Ed I have no idea on the windows side of things other than Vista has the driver built-in for AHCI, who knows with that piece of junk perhaps reinstalling with it on to start with may help.

edridh Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks for the help. AHCI is completely destroying my Vista install however. Is there no install I can use that doesn't need AHCI to be enabled or is this not possible?

waxisthebest1 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 You may have to google it but you can get ACHI working with Vista. I too had originally installed my Vista without it. When trying to install osx86, I had to turn ACHI on in my bios and that worked. But when booting back into Vista, it would not boot unless I turned it back off. Once I installed the ACHI driver for Vista, I have never had to change it again. Now if i can only get osx86 working on my machine again (I messed it up somehow) everything would be great!

edridh Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 It's not a case of not booting up, it's causing various problems with S3 sleep mode and is generally not being stable.
