Hi all!

 

After many unsuccessful tries with other distros i finally got Leopard kinda working on my rig (see sig) by using leo4allv3. Well, the onboard nics wont work but i got wlan working with an usb dongle so no biggie. The thing that really irks me is that i dont seem to be able to get my GF8800GTS 512MB G92 working with QE/CI enabled. I've tried every combination of .kexts i could find on this and other boards, put my device id 0x060010de in those kexts in all possible and impossible combinations, tried Natit, Nvinject, Nvkush but to no avail.

 

Got my cards to be recognized in System Profiler by generating EFi-Strings with EFI-Studio:

 

EVGA nVidia GeForce 8800GTS G92:

 

Chipset Model: EVGA nVidia GeForce 8800GTS G92

but if i got NVDAResman.kext in my extensions dir it always hangs before entering GUI. Verbose mode indicates that display starting fails 2 times then it hangs forever. I'm at loss at what to try next - do i have a chance to get this thing going or am i out of luck due to my hardware? Anyone have an idea what i could do?

More info:

 

Currently running 10.5.4 with modbin kernel 9.4.0

 

My ioreg for display@0: ioreg.txt

 

The GeForce kexts are extracted from the 10.5.4 combo update and edited as follows:

 

GeForce.kext:

...

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x060010de&0x0000ffff</string>

...

NVDANV50Hal.kext:

...

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

<string>0x060010de&0xfff8ffff</string>

...

NVDAResman.kext:

...

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

<string>0x060010de&0xffe0ffff</string>

...

The EFI-String i use for my cards:

Thanks for trying to help Krazubu - i really want to understand whats happening here and where the problem is. As you can read in my first post i have already tried all kind of injectors before i started with efi strings. But i'm eager to learn so i started a new try with NVinject and documented all changes.

 

Firstoff i started with a clean slate by removing all nvidia graphic drivers from the extensions folder and the efi string from boot.plist and reinstalled 10.5.3 unmodified kexts.

 

1.) With unmodified 10.5.3 kexts, no Injector, no EFI-Strings:

 

Jul 13 20:52:18 localhost kernel[0]: display: family specific matching fails

Jul 13 20:52:18: --- last message repeated 1 time ---

Jul 13 20:52:18 localhost kernel[0]: Matching service count = 8

Jul 13 20:52:19 localhost kernel[0]: NVDANV50HAL loaded and registered.

Jul 13 20:52:19 localhost kernel[0]: display: family specific matching fails

Jul 13 20:52:19: --- last message repeated 1 time ---

 

Result: Boot successful, Videocards not recognized, no QE/CI

 

---

 

2.) Edited GeForce.kext:

 

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x000010de&0x0000ffff</string>

 

changed to:

 

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x060010de&0x0000ffff</string>

 

Jul 13 21:06:26 localhost kernel[0]: display: family specific matching fails

3.) NVDANV50Hal.kext already has Device ID:

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

<string>0x00f010de&0xfff0ffff 0x019010de&0xfff0ffff 0x040010de&0xfff0ffff 0x042010de&0xfff0ffff 0x06e010de&0xfff0ffff 0x060010de&0xffe0ffff</string>

 

so i'm putting Device ID into NVDAResman.kext...

 

before:

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

<string>0x011010de&0xfff8ffff 0x017010de&0xfff8ffff 0x017910de 0x018010de&0xfff8ffff 0x018810de 0x018910de 0x020010de&0xfff8ffff 0x025010de&0xfff8ffff 0x028010de&0xfff8ffff 0x030010de&0xfff8ffff 0x031010de&0xfff8ffff 0x031910de 0x034910de</string>

 

after:

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

<string>0x011010de&0xfff8ffff 0x017010de&0xfff8ffff 0x017910de 0x018010de&0xfff8ffff 0x018810de 0x018910de 0x020010de&0xfff8ffff 0x025010de&0xfff8ffff 0x028010de&0xfff8ffff 0x030010de&0xfff8ffff 0x031010de&0xfff8ffff 0x031910de 0x034910de 0x060010de&0xfff8ffff</string>

4.) Editing GeForce.kext, NVDANV50Hal.kext and NVDAResman.kext to only have my Device ID:

 

GeForce.kext:

 

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x060010de&0x0000ffff</string>

 

NVDANV50Hal.kext:

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

<string>0x060010de&0xffe0ffff</string>

 

NVDAResman.kext:

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

<string>0x060010de&0xfff8ffff</string>

boot to GUI successful. Moved NVDAResman.kext back to extensions folder, repaired permissions and reboot.

 

From then on the system wont reach GUI ever again with NVDAResman.kext in extensions folder - no idea why since removing NVinject.kext and fixing permissions should imho leave the system at the same state as before installing NVinject, but somehow it remembers what NVinject did and keeps giving me the blank screen and monitor off right before changing to GUI. Someone able to explain to me what is going on?

Another try using NVkush has similar results, it recognizes the cards fine but with NVDAResman.kext in extensions folder the screen only does a quick flash when about to enter GUI then system hangs indefinitly...

 

I think what's happening is that the kernel is trying to init the wrong card and fails...

 

Why do i think so?

 

When i physically remove the second card and check the device path for "display" it gives me:

DevicePath = PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)

but when second card is present it gives me:

DevicePath = PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)

 

Is there a way to tell the OS to ignore the second card without having to rip it out ? Are there any files besides geforce.kext/nvdanv50hal.kext/nvdaresman.kext that can be edited so it only recognizes the main card ?

This kext has nothing to do here, delete it, it's probably what gives you troubles.

You also need a special version of NVinject that's designed for dual card.

Removed NVDANV30Hal.kext, and tried all nvinject kexts for dual cards i could find on the NVinject download page:

 

- 0.2.0d

- 0.2.0b

- 0.2.0

- 0.0.9

 

Edited each according to my card and the result is the same with all versions - they do their job fine, recognize the cards and inject the information BUT with all of them comes the dreaded line "NVDA::start(display) <1> failed" twice and it hangs when about to switch to GUI.

 

I'm pretty sure the evil NVDAResman is somehow behind all this mess. :P

 

If i don't let him know of the cards at all he just says "match category exists, skipping NVDA::start(display) <1>" and leo boots happily in vesa mode but as soon as the {censored} knows whats going on he deliberately tries to start the wrong display, fails and panics the poor kernel. :P

 

I want to tell him: Look Pal, this PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0) is the card you want to start the display with, not the other one even if you saw that first. You can like totally ignore the other card at PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0), i wont ever plug a monitor into that beast, promised.

 

How do i do that in a language he understands ?

Damn, i hate it when i'm wrong :P

 

Ripped out the second card today and tried to get a single card working (with nvinject/nvkush/efi-string) and its exactly the same (except there's only 1 line NVDA::start(display) <1> failed) and the comp still hangs when about to enter GUI. :)

 

Anyone out there who got the same board/card combination and got it to work? I'm really out of fresh ideas to try ...

Could you please explain how you got your 8800gts to work? I too have an 8800gts 512 and I cannot get it to work with QE, etc. My specs are in my sig. By the way, its a G92, not sure if yours is or not but that could be my problem.
