dasepsilon Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 no news from my side, i have plugged in a sata card and am using this. it worked very well-- (though actually there is another problem and it doesnt boot at all, have not time to investigate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasepsilon Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 short notice: i just unplugged the stupid satacard and used 'pure' AHCI-- and plugged my sata-dvd as IDE (i can do this with my board). with Zeph's 10.5.1 (!!!!!-- see osx.kbot.de) it was able to _boot_ (though only if i didnt specify -legacy or cpus=1?!) and _install_ on the AHCI SATA-hdd. it took quite long but worked flawless. reboot, and it detect harddisk and normally boots up <30s. stupid thing (and maybe thats what kept me figuring it out back then): grub doesnt work anymore. so, it _is_ possible to use sb700 as long as it goes with AHCI and using the incredible zeph's 10.5.1!.... now i've got to do some installing..

rpcyan Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 What's the AHCI situation like for the SB700? I have a raid mirror setup right now via the chipset so that it works for both my Linux and Windows partitions. Really would like to keep it that way for OS X too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorazine74 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 SB700 claims to be ahci compliant, if that's indeed true it might work with vanilla appleahciport without needing any additional kext. If its running in raid mode independent drives might be detected too but it would need some plist modification. But BIOS created raid arrays surely will be invisible to OS X.
