Hi there,

I’d like to add SATA drives to my beloved Powermac MDD. Since this machine is set for double-booting MOS and OSX, Sil3x12-based cards are my only chance (I couldn’t find any promise drivers for OSX).
I have tried 3 different SATA cards (a generic 3512, a generic 3112 and the Seritek 1S2), all leading to the same result :
The card is detected and listed in openpciinfo but when I attach a drive, MOS just won’t boot, it stops right after the startup screen. OSX on the other side seems happy as long as I flash the card with mac-compatible firmware.
I thought this used to be an issue with MOS 2.7, but 3.0 was supposed to fix it. I have 3.3 installed.
Can anybody give me a hint on how to start troubleshooting this?
TIA

Serge
