TheIronbullet Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I am looking for a ioatafamily kext for my Mountain Lion install, so I can see my SATA disks. I can only find Lion compatiable ones on Google . Any help locating the file would be great. Thanks, The Ironbullet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta1382643440 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 What sata controller is it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conti Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Have you tried the lion compatible IOATAFamily.kext? I have nothing capable of testing with. I somehow doubt anyone will bother to work on one of these again for ML if that one does not work, basically everything out there has AHCI at this point. And the stuff that doesn't can stick with SL or Lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conti Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 A user just reported in a blog comment that the lion version of IOATAFamily.kext did indeed work for them on ML.

TheIronbullet Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 It seems that the kext doesn't work for my computer . I do have the option in my bios to run AHCI instead of RAID, but I want to install Mac on a partition on my RAID disk set which means I have to keep RAID enabled. I am using an Intel P35/G33/G31 Chipset. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta1382643440 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I would recommend buying another HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conti Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I don't use RAID on boot volumes, I use a single SSD for my OS partition and I use software RAID1 for my data storage. This is what I suggest to basically everyone. Hardware RAID is only good on enterprise level builds with very expensive controller cards. It has some disadvantages when used on a consumer level and no advantages, which is why I prefer to use software RAID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
