[Solved] nForce (680i, 780i, et al.)
 

Has anyone had any success with the nForce chipsets?

I've got an eVGA 780i board and so far haven't had much luck; previously seemed to stall after it loads the LAN kext, now stalls on, 'AppleNForceATA: Found 0 units'. Note: I'm using an old AppleNForceATA kext from my Leopard install, perhaps this will have to be updated.

Anyway, any thoughts, comments, advice, and so on, is welcome. :)

Cheers!

Yeah noforce works on Snow Leopard, it works on Dell Inspiron 531, with an mcp61 nforce 4 chipset.

Sweet! Can you give me a rundown of the modified kexts you're using? Are you using AppleNForceATA for example?

I got AppleNForceATA.kext in /Extra and the patched ioatafamily.kext to fix make boot time faster.

Any chance you could send me your AppleNForceATA.kext? I'm using an old one from my Leo install and seems to not want to work. (Stalls with AppleNForceATA: found 0 units, or something to that effect.)

I'm realizing that our chipsets are different, but it seems like it should work. Theoretically at least, haha.

Anyway, thanks!

I'm having the same problems

with a Nforce 680i

All right, it appears yet again the nForce x80i series (I'm guessing, 680i, 780i, and 790i) are not working; I'm guessing it's the SATA issue... :(

alexdr1, can you post here what kernel extensions you are attempting to boot with and what happens when you try to boot? Thanks! :D
