Jingu Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Where did you hear that Nvidia 7xxx series don't work in SL? That is completely false. I have a laptop with Geforce Go 7900 GS 512MB. Darwin bootloader only sees 256MB and I can't patch my video rom because the VGA bios is integrated into the system bios, plus it's a laptop. So, there's a mismatch between what darwin bootloader sees and the actual 512MB video ram. Despite all that, I managed to get full QE/CI in SL 10.6.0 and 10.6.1 with every injector kext I tried. It worked with NVinject, it worked with Natit 64 bit and it worked with NVEnabler. It also worked with setting GraphicsEnabler to yes in PCEFI v10.3 and 10.4 The NVidia drivers are correctly detecting the 512MB. You might have other issues going on. First of all, I notice x86_64 in your kernel panic screen. Why are you booting in 64-bit mode? It's harder to get things working in 64bit mode. You should get things woking in 32bit mode first. Also, SL is much more sensitive to wrong kext permissions. Kernel panics happen more easlily. I use the KextUtility application to repair permissions each time I modify kexts. How do you know the kernel panic is because of your 7950 GT? With you booting in 64bit mode it could be anything else like the wrong disabler or decrypter for 64bit mode. Try booting in 32 bit mode and using the right disabler and decrypter for snow leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galilenar Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Yes I use -x32 flag too - but same kernel panic. This kernel panik doesnt appear when i boot with -x flag only. I have repaired permisiions with kext utility or Disk utility - but the same problem. I have other LATEST versions of kexts (fakesmc, for example, and other). This kernel panic appear on GeForce. kext so I decided - that my videocard doesnt wotk properly in Snow Leopard. I have heard what 7xxx videocards dont work in SL properly from other users. PLZ HELP. Do I need to flash BIOS of my videocard to original???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to flash BIOS of my videocard to original???? Hi there. As usual I will proceed with providing a step by step guide ... and it may seem lenghty or futile... but if it helps...that is the main point! Assuming you have a working Leopard 10.5.x install on some other partition. AND IMPORTANTLY login in leopard as ROOT so it helps and importantly saves time. step 1] backup your Non-vanilla (especially if modified) kexts from snow to the leopard install drive in appropriately named folders so it is easy to replace from there later on. step 2] next go to snow drive root delete dsdt.aml step 3] using DSDT patcher 101e and rebuild a new dsdt.aml for snow drive just to make sure, you can place a copy of this newly generated DSDT.aml file in /Volumes/(your snow partition name here)/Extra step 4] delete all the natit, titan, nvinject, nvenabler KEXTS and also all the caches from the path as under: /Volumes/(your snow partition name here)/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/ also Delete your /Extra/Extensions.mkext too. step 5] Now, open terminal and enter the following commands one after the another: cd / cd /Volumes/(your snow partition name here)/ cd /System/Library/ cd Extensions chown -Rf 0:0 * chown -Rf root:wheel * chmod -Rf 755 * chown -Rf root:wheel * cd / cd Extra chown -Rf 0:0 * chown -Rf root:wheel * chmod -Rf 755 * chown -Rf root:wheel * cd / Quit Terminal Step 6] If you did have a modified com.apple.boot.plist in /Extra with extra GFX EFI strings then make a backup copy of it and remove those from the original and save --> using Textedit.app step 7] now reboot into snow leopard using the following parameters at boot prompt: arch=i386 -x32 -f -v check if it boots correctly if not then again reboot using: arch=i386 -x32 -f -x -v again .... if not then arch=i386 -x32 -f -s -v here you should not have any problems. step 8] Then issue the following commands: chown -Rf 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions chown -Rf 0:0 /Extra/Extensions chown -Rf root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions chown -Rf root:wheel /Extra/Extensions chmod -Rf 755 /System/Library/Extensions chmod -Rf 755 /Extra/Extensions kextcache -v 1 -t -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions kextcache -v 1 -t -m /Extra/Extensions.mkext /Extra/Extensions step 9] type shutdown -r now snow from single user command line mode should reboot.... step 10] during this boot up, enter the following strings at boot prompt: arch=i386 -x32 -v observe..... Reply back what happened... and I will see how and if I can help you any further.... -Regards, Freaky Chokra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galilenar Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Sorry but I dont have dsdt.aml. I use boot132 method with CD. And I certainly have right kext permisiions. And right mkexth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingu Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 You're using BootCD 132 as your bootloader? You're only supposed to use it when you first install Snow Leopard from the retail DVD. Once you have SL installed and running, you have to install a bootloader to your Snow Leopard partition. right now I'm using chameleon 2 RC3 with the boot file of PCEFI v10.4 to boot in 32 bit mode with chameleon 2 RC3/PCEFI v10.4, the kernel flag is arch=i386, not -x32 I saw x86_64 in your kernel panic screen. That means that you're in 64 bit mode You might want to read in detail this Snow Leopard Install Guide: http://prasys.co.cc/2009/08/installing-sno...pard-for-osx86/ Or this other very good Snow Leopard tutorial: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...180954&st=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galilenar Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 I may use Boot132 for running Snow Leopard, not for only installing. Because all things work great - but videocard have kernel panic. I think it apperas because I have patched ROM for my videocard (but in 10.5.8 also with boot132 method this videocard works great). Do I need to re-patch my videocard to ORIGINAL ROM? What kind of kexts for my videocard do I need to use (NatitX64, NVInject, Evoenabler, etc)? In 10.5.8 Leopard I have used EFI strings only in com.apple.plist What do u think - will this videocard work in Snow LEopard??? I have this Kernel Panic only when QE/CE enabled (without -x {censored}) in -x32 and -x64 modes. PLZ HELP MEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
