[Solved] 8600M GS blue screen with cursor

[Spoo]

Hi @all,

 

I know that there are many topics regarding the blue screen with the mouse cursor but i didn't find anything that helped me so far.

 

I installed iAtkos v4i on my Xi2528, selecting speedstep, sata and network (realtek) kext.

After the installation the system booted and after disabling sleep the system seems to work fine with vesa 1024x786 and no QE/CI.

 

I tried to install different NVidia drivers (NVinject, NVinjectGo, edited the kexts manually as described in the stickys, nvinstaller , 9f32, NVDarwin, etc) but the only thing I get is a blue screen with only the mouse cursor on it, but with the correct resolution. Attaching a external monitor at the vga port does not help either. Booting with -x showed me the login mask, but after logging in I still have a blue screen with a mouse cursor. Is this a problem i could solve editing the NVCAP value?

 

It would be great if someone could point me to the correct direction.

 

Regards,

Spoo

 

Edit: The ID is 0x042510de and it got 256MB dedicated RAM

Edit2: I installed the Leopard Graphic Update when trying iAtkos v2i. Does ist make sense to try that on 10.5.4 too?

Edit 3: When installing NVDarwin I can see a console message that says "8600M GS", so i thing it has detected the graphic card correctly.

EFI STUDIO great for instal driver vga nvdia/ati

Mhh I installed NVkush and every third boot or so the gui is loaded with the right resolution, but locks up, after the dock and the upper bar is shown.

 

Is this a graphic problem or is something different causing this problem?

Does anybody know a log file I can take a look at?

 

Edit: ooook, i took a look at the windowserver.log and I see the following over and over again:

Solution:

 

A wrong NVCAP can lead to this error.

 

For my Xi2528 with the 8600M GS the NVInjectGo.kext from this thread worked:
