Ali M5229 Drivers For Mac
The software drivers provided on this page are generic versions and can be used for general purposes. However, computer original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may have altered the features, incorporated customizations, or made other changes to the software or software packaging they provide.
In addition, AppleVIAATA should be removed or at least ALi/ULi ID inside of it to avoid conflicts. If you have ALi/ULi motherboard, you can give it a try. Chun-Nan P.S. I have not tested this driver under Tiger, but it should work. Hi Chun-Nan, Thanks for working on Ali/Uli Driver, this has been big problem for many of us with notebooks that have the Ali m5229 Bus master controller ( 0x522910b9 ).
I have tried your kext but still get the 'waiting for root device' error on boot. I can test anything you need if you are interested. I've attached ioreg, and dmesg. I am using Tiger 10.4.11, also, this laptop is ATA only, no SATA, I don't know if this makes a difference. I have also removed AppleVIAATA.kext and deleted mkext. I already use your IOPCIFamily.kext and it works great.

Thanks again, rj Hi rjstrat, If possible, can you post the picture of 'waiting for root device' while using AppleALiATA under single user mode? I would like to know if there are other error messages shown.

It detects Ali M5229 chip but says 'unable to find root device', go's thru pccard detection/setup, gets to firewire detection, and hangs with error 'still waiting for root device'. It appears that when Ali M5229 chip is detected, the hard drive freezes ( light stuck on ). There are no other error messages displayed and I don't see any info from hard drive set up other than initial detection. This is an IGP ( shared graphics memory )notebook, do you think this could be issue? I will post more info later, Thanks again, rj.

I will post more info later, Thanks again, rj Hi rjstrat, Are there any error messages related to IOATAController or something like that?

How can i return where i was or fix this? Hi bellaco, Sorry that it caused your system hang. You can boot with kalyway DVD and go to the terminal to copy appleviiata.kext back to your OSX Disk. (appleviiata should be located in /System/Library/Extensions) It should fix the problem. In order to help me find the problem, can you boot with -f -s and let me know what error messages it showed or take a picture if possibl? Hi bellaco, Sorry that it caused your system hang.

Chun-Nan Hi Chun-Nan, I also tried -f -s boot and got same result, boot freeze at same spot, no difference from photo I posted. When I power off it still flashes 'IOATADevice blocking bus'. I am willing to help any way I can. Is there any other way to debug driver? Hi Chun-Nan, I also tried -f -s boot and got same result, boot freeze at same spot, no difference from photo I posted.

I have revised it and also turned on the debug info function. I will suggest you leave AppleGenericPCATA in the extension folder. You can boot with 'aliata=0' to prevent AppleALiATA from loading so that if AppleALiATA doesn't work, you can still use AppleGenericPCATA.
Let me know the result. If possibe, post the pictures under single user mode. Hi rjstrat, Please try this one to see if it works. I have revised it and also turned on the debug info function. I will suggest you leave AppleGenericPCATA in the extension folder.

If possibe, post the pictures under single user mode. Chun-Nan Hi ChunNan, Still get 'root device' error, but hopefully you can get useful info from debug. What I have noticed is that as soon as the m5229 chip is detected the drive light stays lit but with no drive activity, hard drive frozen, with no recovery, that's why can't boot -f -s or -x. Maybe once the ATA controller is detected/set up, there needs to be some kind of break command, or fresh drive scan.
I really don't know, as it is well beyond my capability to interpret code. I hope there's something you can do. I'm ready to test anything you have.

I'm ready to test anything you have. Thanks again, rj Hi rjstrat, Sorry for the late reply. I checked your ioreg again. It showed that you have 'pci10b9,1533' (ISA bridge) on your notebook. I think maybe that is the reason. However, the desktop I use doesn't have that device. I will check linux/freebsd source code to see if I can figure out anything.
If possible, I would like you to try this AppleATAPort kext to see if it works on your notebook. (However, it only supports up to UDMA2.) You can leave AppleGenericPCATA in the extension folder, without AppleALiATA. You can boot with 'ataport=0' to prevent AppleATAPort from loading in case that it doesn't work, you can still use AppleGenericPCATA. Let me know the result. Hi rjstrat, Sorry for the late reply.

The south bridge is actually Ali M1535+. I don't know if that makes a difference.
I will post results later. Thanks again, rj. Hi Chun-Nan, Thanks for the.kext, I'll try it later today. The south bridge is actually Ali M1535+. I don't know if that makes a difference.

I tried the.kext and boot still hangs at 'still waiting for root device', only difference is I don't see any chip detection for ATA/IDE device, but otherwise, same as before, so when I power off, it still flashes 'IOATADevice blocking bus' error before shutting down. I'm ready to test anything else you might have. Thanks again, rj. Hi Chun-Nan, Sorry so long for reply, I've been out of town.

(It is compiled under Leopard because I don't have Tiger installed right now.) Thanks. Hi rjstrat, That is what I was afraid of. I have uploaded the source code on the 1st post. You can try to compile it under Tiger to see if it works. Let me know the result.
Ali M5229 Drivers For Mac Os
Chun-Nan Hi Chun-Nan, I tried to recompile.kext in Tiger Xcode, but still unable to use driver. I no longer get error message on boot, but no chip detection either, boot continues with the apple generic ata.kext. I am able to load kext thru kextload with no errors. I have also tried to remove generic ata kext, but then no boot, for some reason ALiATA.kext is not detecting chip.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Again, all your help is greatly appreciated.
