Hi,

I solved the PCI configuration problem with the PCI configuration Fix and the Bluetooth problem as well (see youtube video of R780)

This were the basic problems PRIOR installation of MacOSX (iAtkos L2)
http://www.insanelym...howtopic=277563

Now I have the problem after installing  MacOS I cannot get into the System - Black screen.

I only get a black screen - nothing happens. In verbose mode this happens around 30sec after PCI configuration.
Safe mode didn't help and npci=0x2000 or GraphicsEnabler=No didn't help either.

Here are my specs:

Hope you can help me. I tried installing with and without NVEnabler and of the other things I only installed audio, usb, ethernet, wireless, AHCI driver -  or even without any driver.

Maybe someone has a clue as up to now I think non of the Sony CW2S1E users already could install MacOS - so I'm pretty close to a running MacOSX as I think

Thank you very much already for your help.

Blubberor

P.S.: Do you think if I cannot 10.7.2 to run - any other version might work? I think if I bought Lion I should be allowed to use older versions as well?!

[eep357]

Looks like a graphics problem, however I have no experience with your GPU so can't offer much beyond what you already tried. In iAtkos/Lion installer screen, from menu bar run the hardware info app and you can get device ID's and model#s to help look for the correct kexts either in iAtkos, or check online. See http://www.insanelym...howtopic=219584, list from installer is similar to app in tread or download and run version in Win/Linux, also thread includes link to site for lookup of compatible extensions by device ID and OS version. That being said, 10.6.7 is insanely easier to get up and running on just about any PC, 10.6.8 and Lion are way more picky. Since your familiar with it already, you can buy iAtkos S3 the same way you "cough" bought L2. Give it a shot, if it works, clone a backup with CCC and then try upgrading(maybe grab kexts and stuff you know you'll need first), or just rock the Snow as is, or have as a fall back os to boot to if Lion problems roar. Make 2 partitions, once Lion stable u can delete Snow if you want and expand Lion partition.

[iFIRE]

Helo, try this:


KEXTOFF: ……ex: NIVIDIA Kexts
boot whit -s

mkdir /KextOff/
cd /
cd  /System/Library/Extensions
mv GeForce* /KextOff
mv NVDA*kext /KextOff
sudo rm -rf  /System/Library/Caches/*
cd /
shutdown -r now

This move for   / your graphics kexts.

Good Luck!!!!

As I have USB boot.
I can edit this on the USB stick from my MacBook, right?

create Kextoffs directory in root
move the gefroce and nvidia volders there and delete cache?

Which install options should I choose then?

Best and thank you very much,

Is an external monitor working?

[blubberor]

Is an external monitor working?

haven't tried, but good idea, I will check at home!

[rlf]

I saw a posting where someone with an Apple Macbook was running 330M graphics with 10.7.3.

So, one method might be to follow iFire's suggestion to remove existing Nvidia drivers.  This should give you video - crappy video - but at least something to see.  Then see if you can upgrade to 10.7.3.  Remember, any special drivers you installed during initial installation will also need to be reinstalled after the upgrade.

[blubberor]

So the video output is really on the external monitor. Thanks for this idea.

BUT... MacOS cannot find a keyboard and I don't have an external one. USB mouse or trackpad (both) are not recognized.
Any ideas on that? :/

[eep357]

voodoo or apple ps/2 fix should be available as option in your installer

[blubberor]

keyboard is fixed as well, but cannot get monitor working... installed evening the nvidia driver that are supplied by them.

and mac os wants to install a bluetooth keyboard??

Thanks already...just some steps ...

[iLeopod]

Try to force EDID: http://www.insanelym...howtopic=208410

[iLeopod]

• run:

  ioreg -l
  

  in terminal
  
• search for DisplayVendorID (be sure that the value belongs to the internal display)
  
• create a folder called DisplayVendorID-(ID from step 2) and move that folder to /System/Library/Displays/Overrides
  
• look for DisplayProductID in the terminal Output
  
• download:  DisplayProductID-xxx.txt   414bytes   7 downloads open with Plist Edit Pro http://www.fatcatsof...m/plisteditpro/ (demo version)
  
• Add DisplayProductID and DisplayVendorID (converted to decimal values) and the red code below without spaces to IODisplayEDID                                                                   00 FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 4D D9 FA 05 00 00 00 00

• Save without Suffix and change the xxxx in the file name to your DisplayProductID without Ox.
  
• Copy the file in your created folder

Ich hoffe, dass das so verständlich ist wenn nicht frag einfach.

[blubberor]

so in my case 5fa, right?

[iLeopod]

DisplayProductID ?

Can you attach your terminal output here?

[blubberor]

So this is the important part, right?

and another thing that is strange, after reinstalling USB isn't working any more - any ideas for this?

[iLeopod]

Yes
The file would the be named: DisplayProductID-5fa and the folder DisplayVendorID-104D when its the right sony id (found 2)
And the values inside should be this way:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<key>DisplayProductName</key>
<string>Internal LCD Forced EDID</string>
<key>DisplayVendorID</key>
<integer>4173</integer>
<key>IODisplayEDID</key>
<data>/***red code without space***/
</data>
</dict>
</plist>

can u check in windows that the vendor id is correct


Edit: Update i think you where right your output above may show the external monitor.

[blubberor]

thank you very much. I will try tomorrow as I am going to spend some time offline now.

copied the parameters from the ioreg -l dialog...

couldn't get it to work..

BUT EDID is the same
so it might be a problem of IDs..

	| |   |   | |   |	   "DisplayVendorID" = 5571
	| |   |   | |   |	 }

this is what I get as well with VNC - Display sharing

This is what I get from my external display

I've got the same issue of black screen with Nvidia 9400GT after upgrading to 10.7.2 and 10.7.3
I solved the problem by removing the Nvidia configuration from DSDT and I used GraphicsEnabler=Yes

@yossicl thats an other problem: device-type
NVDA,GeForce must be changed to NVDA,Parent to get efi/DSM injection working again.
