stew998 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hi, apologies if this is repeated elsewhere and I haven't seen the answer. Created a few OSX PCs before so understand the basics. Have D830 with Intel Crestline so installing Lion using the guide here with USB. Get to the install screen and Disk utility doesn't see the hard drive (Chameleon sees it on boot) I've tried with the original Tosh 80GB SATA drive and an OCZ SSD, neither of them are visible. Yosemite USB installer disk utility sees them but want the graphics support. What kext(s) do I need to load suitable SATA drivers or am I missing something? I was expecting it to work straight away with the Bootpack so stuck for the moment... Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jruschme Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I forget... is the D830 one where you need to set the SATA mode to AHCI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted June 17, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 17, 2015 yes probably so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted June 17, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 17, 2015 BIOS settings all supplied at the top of the D8xx section... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stew998 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Thanks for consideration & feedback. Bios settings checked with D8xx section (Just updated to A17 to see if that might help). Still at a loss if no Kexts are needed to see the SATA drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted June 17, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 17, 2015 Maybe you're not using the correct bootpack for the Lion installer. You can use those I posted for the D630 X3100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stew998 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi - bizarre, double checked bootpack & bios. On the off-chance I set SATA mode from AHCI to ATA and Disk utilities recognised the drive. I can only assume that the bios image has the bit setting reversed or I might need to flip it back to AHCI when I boot from it. Currently installing so I'll find out in half an hour. Thx again for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted June 18, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 18, 2015 Are you building a myHack installation with our OSXL bootpack? Or is it some other method or a distro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stew998 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi using the OSXL bootpack with MyHack, following the guide to the letter (I think). Now installed OK but I have Whitescreen & cursor on 1st boot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
