sb600.kext gives sata support. but if you only add it to the dvd by just putting it in extensions folder and forcing it to load by the -f switch at darwin screen. This does not mean it will be installed on your hardrive. You will need an installer to do this which is either included in the dvd as zephyroth 10.5.2 rev2 does or you install via usb then install the sb600 kext and then move the drive.
Hope this clears things up LawlessPPC |
Ok, but after trying -f method I still can't see my HDD in Disk Utility.. Will probably have to install via USB HD/USB->SATA adapter.
Thanks for your help m8! It's been really helpfull! |
hmmm sorry Im not of any use something doesnt add up. Try and grab the zephy 10.5.2 rev2 that will definately handle the SATA I have tried it on this board.

@ Simba: Is this a wallpaper of you? ;-)

Well, that's the DVD I'm currently using; the 10.5.2 Rev.2. Yeah, I've also figured out that something is a little weird... But I managed to solve my problem: I reconnected my old IDE Seagate 120GB HDD and installed OS X on it, speeds when installing are incredible! :-) Almost the speed you would get when installing on a real mac ^^ Everything now installs right and so, but now I have a new problem: After install, on initial boot, after the apple logo has gone away and the "OS config manager" is supposed to come up (where you put in username etc.) my screen gets all messed up! I see broad stripes, in colors shifting from black, red, white and blue. When I move my mouse I sometimes see a little white stripe moving on the screen.. Is this a well known problem? I've tried both of the two drivers for my card in the install with no success, I've also tried using none of them, and both together, but no luck. Perhaps I should try using only 2GB of RAM instead of 4GB? My GFX card is a Powercolor HD3870 btw. For your information Lawless, without your help I most surely would still have been stuck with my SATA-2 drive! Most appreciated! :-) ----------------------Offtopic-------------------- naquaada: Hahaha, well I have a friend at school, who use to call me Simba (Real name is Simon) ^^ After a little thinking, I thought that "hey, it's quite fun!" And I now use it about all of the time :P |
Yes, I also use it. It's something different to the mostly abstract Apple-style wallpapers.

@Simba did you manage to do an install without the Graphics drivers and boot up to a desktop. If not then try this then try the latest drivers for HD3870. But if you put 10.5.3 update on theres a way you need to install them or you will get blank menus. Look up white menu fix 10.5.3 that will give the details

or try boot with the -x switch at the darwin boot screen this should run in safe mode and not lauch graphics card driver. Should let you re-install it.

Oh, ok thanks lawless! :) I'll try that and post my results later on :P

I am running Zephy 10.5.1 on a Asus m3a32-mvp deluxe. My Phenom is the 9750 (2.4 GHz), 4 GB DDR2 +1066 (Corsair Dominator), and 2 SATA-HDD both Samsung 750GB. My GK is a HIS HD3870 (512 GDDR4).
Using Kext Helper is very easy to install the SB600 kext, it does work, then after a reboot it works instead of genericPCATA and SATA. I have issues trying to update zephy. How? From where can I get the update packages? The other important point is, how can I install the HD3870?? Are there any kexts out there for the network card? In the user's manual for the mobo it just says "Marvell PCIe Gigabit LAN". And what about the AMD 790FX?? Do you know of any working kext for it?? Thanks a lot!!! |
