So my problem is that my Leopard is not a Leopard its more like a slug! :(
I think i don´t have supported driver for my ATA devices. i try to find out it here:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/index.php/t517.html

I have try copy IOATAFamily.kext and from DVD but it did not help?
where i find solution of this..

[edit]
Xbench told me that my hdd speed is about 1.44 MB/sec :(

thank you!

Disk speed is rather low on ATA100, I have the same problem (on nforce 4). Xbench has a lot of disk tests. I think you're talking from random uncached write or so. What do you have for a chipset?

riangeli 01-29-2008 05:47 AM
yes that result is uncached write! I have Asrock motherboard chipset? - Northbridge: AMD 480X CrossFire™ Chipset - Southbridge: ATI™ SB600

here is my MoBo: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=ALiveXFire-eSATA2

i dont really know what the chipset means but i think i have AM2 chipset? AMD Athlon 64 4200+ X2

You had it right: The chipset is the northbridge and southbridge. You've got a 480X / SB600 chipset motherboard. On my 690G / SB600 AM2 motherboard, I had to use the "SB600_SATA_ATA.kext" (maybe it was an installer...) to get the internal drives recognized and working properly. I found it somewhere on InsanelyMac... Maybe it's on the Wiki.

thanks! i find this out and try it! :D I hope it works!

riangeli 01-30-2008 05:24 AM
it wont work.. :( I Installed SB600_SATA_ATA.zip! it contains 2 files:

IOATAFamily.kext
AppleOnboardPCATA.kext

I put both files in extensions and fix acces.

then i try reboot. it uses normally AppleGenericPCATADriver.kext but now it used AppleOnboardPCATA.kext!
It gives me never ending IO error! about my disk0s1! :(

I booted up on DVD and repaired my hdd. but i didnt try repair acces?
then try boot again but it wasnt help. same IO error!
then i removed AppleOnboardPCATA.kext and buuted up normally using very slow AppleGenericPCATADriver.kext

[edit] I have installed the AppleVIAATA.kext in Wiki too!

any ideas?

I'm not good at installing .kexts manually so I used "Kext Helper" to install "SB600_SATA_ATA"... Don't know if that would do you any good or not. Sorry it didn't work for you.

riangeli 01-30-2008 06:08 AM
ok i try that. the SB600_SATA_ATA should work for me couse its made on my Asrock ALiveXfire eSATA2!! :D i read it just on insanelymac!

iv used that kext helper to install that on a fresh install works like a charm
