mboy Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I am trying to install DP2 on GT5408 gateway core2duo (I had no problem with DP1). I am stalled at "pci configuration begin". I have tried numerous fixes including putting NVEnabler in S/L/E and deleting PlatformSupport.plist in com.apple.recovery.boot. No luck so far. Anyone have a fix ?

HBP Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 it's fragging on your Video drivers. swap your card and try again. I had the same problem with a GTX 470 and a 9800GT the 9800GT works like a Dream, the GTX470 hangs @ [ pci configuration begin ] HBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
og-phantom Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Is there any other fix? And, can I put my 460 back in after the install? (I do have a 8800GTX I can swap in for the install). I am having the same issue as the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaithis Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Some people are reporting that using NVEnabler and ATY_Init has solved the problem for them but still getting it here even with them (GTX580). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeTaTesteur Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hi I have the same problem with m'y nvidia 7300 gt. Does somebody have a fix ? Any ideas ? Tanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan2Delta Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I don't have a fix either, but I can assure you my GTX 570 or most other nvidia cards that device ids had been added to NVDAGF***.kext and using ATY_Init.kext are likely to work. I have tested it with NVEnabler.kext briefly, but had no luck and it even simply rebooted in the middle of the process sometimes. Make sure ATY_Init.kext is in System/Library/Extensions Depending on your bootloader it won't get loaded properly. And don't forget to sudo su chown –R 0:0 ATY_Init.kext chmod –R 755 ATY_Init.kext To get beyond PCI config I usually have to delete System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches as well. That was very important because every time Lion reboots a cache is written and causing to hang my machine. Then PCI config begin will show up again and hangs........but wait!! 1 minute later the screen changes to black, grey and blue and voila there is the Lion desktop. I think what really happens there the screen is actually freezed. You can test it when you press space or enter key. Usually you can see moving the cursor. However if it hangs at PCI config more than 2 minutes I usually give up and do a reboot. I have a dual GPU set up and I figured out on my machine it really hangs here: nstat lookup entry failed: 2 nspace-handler-set-snapshot-time: 1303230505 ...when it seems to "hang" on PCI config: Does anybody know what that could mean?

musicman10 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'm also stuck at the PCI Configuration begin error with DP2. And i'm sure it's related to my Sparkle GTX 470. DP2 installs fine with an ATI HD4870 and switching cards after installation results in PCI Configuration begin. So neither booting the installation or booting the os itself works with a GTX 470. It seems like lion actually boots in some way, my HDD leds flash like crazy and i can hear sound from the harddrive. Just no image. the other relevant parts of my computer are the following: ASUS P6t deluxe v2 Intel Core i7 920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmano Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 use one video card if u have 2 remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingee Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 just delete System/Library/Caches folder sudo rm -rf System/Library/Caches ,repair permission for S/L/E and move a irrelevant file to System/Library rename it to "Caches". I use a alias file in /Users/myname name "send registration" sudo chmod 755 Caches sudo chown 0:0 Caches work perfectly for me ,using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 1.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mboy Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Removing caches does not help. Any fixes or do I need to get a new video card (currently using ASUS 7300GS). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogdan-x86 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 If none of these methods work for you, replace AppleACPIPlatform.kext and IOPCIFamily.kext with older, working versions. Replace both, otherwise you panic early during boot. You will probably need to do this after every major software update (the lion developer updates have all included new versions of these kexts so far) so make sure you can replace again them if your Lion becomes unbootable.

rabbit74 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 @Jordan2Delta Thank you @Bogdan-x86 Thank you Did both of those things and am now booting with GTX-470 I also needed to add bootflag: -usecache and for that to work I had to move kexts in /E/E to /S/L/E and repair permissions. Thanks for the info. Ty btw. failed to boot first couple times but using -x -v got me in so I could make the necessary changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mboy Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 I replaced AppleACPIPlatform.kext and IOPCIFamily.kext using DP1 versions. The install now hangs at "DSMOS has arrived". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motawa Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 There is no stand alone DMG for DP3. You can only download the update seperatly but there is no use since you got the DP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can apply the LionSWUpdate.pkg files to the installation media beforehand using a Snow Leopard install/VM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QE_LiTHiUm Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I had a working Lion DP 2, when I updated to the latest DP 3 which released about 5 days ago, i did get this message "PCI Configuration Begin". I have a 9500 GT nVidia graphic card. I'm able to get into the Lion, but I can do nothing because there is not any icon or menu i can click on. I get a loop of reading my hard drive and then resting for about 10 secs, and then reading my hard drive and then no sound from my hard drive again. and I'm stuck at the blue screen after Lion boots up just before the wallpaper wants to be displayed. Any solutions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raulllll Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Use Appleacpiplatform.kext and IOPCIfamily.kext from either DP2 or Snow Leopard. Iopcifamily Appleacpiplatform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
