[yoyo1155]

Hi,

Is Marvell 88SE9172 chipset supported in lion ?

I'm using DSDT-GA-Z68X-UD4-B3-F8.aml plus 3rd party sata and esata kexts in multibeast, but seems I randomly have problems with my esata disk with won't be recognised at times when powering it.
System infos tells "Unknown AHCI Standard Controller" with AHCI Version 1.00 Supported.
No problem with the intel piloted sata controllers, supporting AHCI 1.3.

Haven't had any problems with those ports on my GA-Z68XP-UD4 system. If Unknown AHCI controller name bothers you it's very easy to edit 3rd party sata kext and add Marvell 88SE9172 in there :

Here is my modified kext file : AHCI_3rdParty_eSATA.kext.zip

Hi! This is my first post here.
I have a Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4 and it uses this Marvell 88SE9172 chips.

Will it be impossible to have a current line of SSD disk as my Macintosh HD/Main/Boot/ disk?
Seems people have gotten it to work but all the guides I have seen installs snow leopard first, so I guess it has to work with snow leopard as well in order to be able to login and upgrade to OSX Lion.

I noticed that there is a DSTD for this board but I thought I'd ask because I know SSD can be more tough... Never got it to work on my current computer, I use it as a 2nd drive for files instead.

Hi,
I made a legacy kext to help recognizing marvell 88SE9172.
Just add it in /System/Library/Extensions and repair permissions. WIth this you don't need any other kext. It will appear as external, otherwise you lose hot swap support.
Hope this helped.

Get your device id with DPCI manager and edit the key pciXXXX,XXXX
You also have to change the display name.
