Marvell and others ATA kext for Leopard


Hi! Here is driver for marvell(for now) ata and sata chipsets

They are present on some motherboards as secondary ata controller but are unsupported with tiger and leopard

So I did a try to insert pci id`s into AppleVIAATA.kext with known and usefull chipsets

  • 0x611111ab - used at P5K-SE motherboard (Marvell 88se6111)
  • 0x614511ab - used at Intel D975XBX2 and ASUS P5WDG2 WS Professional motherboard (Marvell 88se6145)

Installation

  1. backup original AppleVIAATA.kext at /System/Library/Extensions
  2. copy attached kext into /System/Library/Extensions
  3. start Terminal and run: sudo chown -Rv root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
  4. remove /System/Library/Extensions.mkext and reboot

Post bugs here

Still no love.  Just like

Still no love.  Just like before I see the driver is loaded in ioreg and it detects 2 channels, but none of the drives attached to the channels are accessible.  Another note, this controller has 4 sata ports, not sure if it's using a port multiplier or not.

Hrm, it seems that 10.5.4 is when this all changed.  I'll try to snag the older driver from a 10.5.2 machine and see if it works or if it is some other interaction.

Try look into System Profiler

Try look into System Profiler and check AppleVIAATA.ext loading path - may be You have to different instances in Your system and they make conflicts for You

Nope, just one instance.

Nope, just one instance. Seems they broke this driver/card somehow in 10.5.4+.

This driver is for VIA

This driver is for VIA chipsets 8))) not for Marvell
So nothing broken - just unsupported 8))) even via my smart hack
Need trying make support via another nonVIA-based chipset driver - may be it will work..

A quick grep in /System/Library/Extensions didn't return anything matching 614511ab, and permissions seem fine..

try to delete from Info.plist

try to delete from Info.plist full dictionary VIA PATA Marvell and use only VIA PATA Marvell2

May be there is conflict between PATA and SATA dictionaries
