Andy Vandijck Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Same as AppleATIATA I made... It has no deprecation nor warnings and has correct dependencies for loading out in 32 and 64 bit mode. If the other drivers didn't work for you in 64 bit mode, try this one... Download including sources: http://rapidshare.com/files/35627618...ceATA_Snow.zip Built kext is under build/Release. Enjoy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonAngel Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Does it fix the Sata DVD problem that Medevil's kext has? I would like to know this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Vandijck Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 I would like to know this as well. It should yes... it uses routines from AppleIntelPIIXATA (latest version, new style ATA driver coding). I however have no nForce chipset mobo around so no way to test it... I would say test it, it should work fine (I made this one for a friend). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadum35 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Many thanks Andy... tried several times in x64 does not work for me, got stuck in looking for boot device... but working in x32 and dvd drive still no working... my spec: dell xps 730 with 2 x nivida 9800GX2, dual boot win7 and snow 1.6.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusj0015 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 does this support Nforce 410/6100 amd sempron? and does it work in leopard? i cant get snow leopard to work if you know a snow distro that would work for this computer please tell me!

icedtrip Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 and does it work in leopard? I was curious about the same, so I just tried it out. It's a no go on Leopard. It won't even load. I have yet to try to get SL up and running, but will hopefully have a chance to this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scififan68 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hello Andy, Your kext does not load in full 64bit mode on my Inpsiron 531, when i tired to load it, it failed to see my sata said something about ActivateAppleNForceDMAEngine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaMDaY Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I just tried this out these out in 32bit mode, it won't load in 64bit mode. The OSX profiler in utilities lists the sata DVD drive correctly but when I put a dvd in a drive it never detects the disc. Sata hard drives seem to be working fine.

Dilemma Prison Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Works just fine on my EVGA i680 based mobo under 10.6.2 in 32bit mode, now using this in place of the older 32bit only slash or anv driver i was using perviously. (All built in SATA Ports worked fine, performance was great) I could not boot to 64bit mode (i have all 64bit kexts now) but i don't know that this driver is the cause of that issue or related (will plumb that later). Have not tested my pata optical drive/burning (but it shows in my device lists), will test further and update this post later. •••••••••••••Make sure you fix permissions/rebuilt your extensions mkext when testing before you post here about the driver not working for you, esp if your getting the root device error.•••••••••••• Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imk Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have an EVGA 680i board (MCP55) and decided to test out this kext. Upon booting, I noticed that it had an unresolved symbol for “__ZN14AppleNForceATA17activateDMAEngineEv”. I took a look at the included source code and saw that AppleNForceATA::activateDMAEngine() did not exist. This was a simple fix. activateDMAEngine() comes from IOPCIATA, so I looked at Apple's source and simply copied their function: void AppleNForceATA::activateDMAEngine(void) { // clear error bit prior to starting. *_bmStatusReg = (UInt8) mBMStatusError | mBMStatusInt | (_currentCommand->getUnit() == 0 ? mBMStatusDrv0 : mBMStatusDrv1); OSSynchronizeIO(); // set the address pointer. *_bmPRDAddresReg = OSSwapHostToLittleInt32((UInt32) _prdTablePhysical); OSSynchronizeIO(); // activate the DMA engine. UInt8 theCommand = (_currentCommand->getFlags() & mATAFlagIORead) ? mBMCmdStartInput : mBMCmdStartOutput; *_bmCommandReg = theCommand; OSSynchronizeIO(); } I compiled it and it loaded with no problem and works just fine.

Edit: This likely doesn't fix SATA DVD drives. All I did was take AnV's driver above and make it load under 64-bit. Any chipset support or features would have been provided by him (or in the original MeDevil drivers). AppleNForceATA_Snow.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaMDaY Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Boots into 64bit kernal mode for me but DVD drives are not working. Nice work. I compiled it and it loaded with no problem and works just fine.

scififan68 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Working here, although too bad Im on amd. Nice work anyways. Edit: Oh and here's the 32bit and 64bit patched ioatafamily.kext patched for fast boot times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verdant Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Not working on the following system:NForce MCP79 , SATA HDD, SATA DVDRW, 10.6.4 Stuck at "Waiting for boot device" This is because AFAIK the nForce MCP79 chipset is fully AHCI-compliant..........and so does not work with the AppleNForceATA.kext...........see post #1 in my Snow Leopard thread and post #2 in my Leopard Series nForce threads........

mingzhi Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Thanks a lot! It works! But how can I enable 64bit? I used "arch=x86_64" or "-force64", but still got "64-bit Kernel and Extensions: No".

imk Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 If you are using the legacy kernel from this thread, then 64-bit will not work. That kernel is 32-bit only. It will also only run 32-bit applications and not 64-bit applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniac10 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Use this kernel and boot with arch=x86_64 Picture of this kernel booted into 64bit. I'm trying to use this kernel but I can't get it to run 32bit apps, is it neccesary to install the system kext? I'm not using it now and it seems fine (32b) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not using it now and it seems fine (32b) In 64bit mode you can't run any 32bit apps, this is due to some incompatibility with amd's cpu instructions. Also System.kext from 10.6.4 is fine with darwin 10.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
