ATI ATA Driver optimized for Snow Leopard

[andyvand]

I have rebuilt the ATI ATA driver so that it runs perfectly and without deprecation on Snow Leopard.

I have an AppleATIATA.kext in E/E. Can you tell me what is to do with this files from your package?

And sorry for my english

[andyvand]

You can replace it with this one in /Extra/Extensions
Make sure permissions are set to root:wheel and file mode is 755.
Then repack /Extra/Extensions.mkext

Hey andy can you tell whats the difference between this kext and the previous atiata.

I recently had a serious mac error out of the blue. I had a perfect hackintosh running with your 1.0.3 (-7) version or atiata for one month, then all of a sudden the mac hfs partition would refuse to mount.

I had to reformat and reinstall snowleopard. This time I dedicated the 1 whole HD to snowleopard (guid) and reverted back to the older atiata 1.0.2 in hopes that this never happens again.

What are the improvements of your 1.0.3 version?

Thanks

2 SATA HD's (ide mode)

Hi Andy,

I am trying to install Hazard's SL 10.6.2 on my AMD Athlon X2 4600+ with Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2 (AMD 740+SB700).

I have installed the above provided extension but I get this error in both 64-bit mode and 32-bit mode:

Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleATIATA.

I have verified the permissions and ownerships. Everything seems to be fine but I am unable to boot.

I am already using iPC 10.5.6 with AppleATIATA-6 kext and it is working great.

Please help me! :-|

Dear Andy,

I hope you can shed some light on whats going on here, The AppleATIATA.kext works and is placed in /E/E but now I have trouble burning discs in my OS X.

Now In system profiler it says burning supported (Generic Drive support) but when i check in disk utility it goes Burning Unsupported.

It clicked to me when I tried burning discs with toast and found I got a communication error previously I could burn with toast. This happens for both optical drives.

Do you think removing the kext might solve this issue?

Regards,
Ash

Dear Andy, thank you for all your hard work on this community,

Hey gedna, the only way to get a sata dvd drive working is use ahci or raid mode(found in the bios), or use an ide dvd drive in conjunction with his kext and it burns discs. Thank you andy for working on this! :)

[gedna]

thank for replay, i have already using ahci mode in bios, problems however is the same

im trying to find a solution for kernel panics when i have 2 pata drives that are connected to a SB750. i have to umount them because system will crash instead.

jmicron kext is buggy. i found this, deleted jmicron kext and installed appleatiata version 1.0.3 but also crashes the system
