Hi,

I made a 10.8.2 install USB stick
It won't boot with a GTX 660 Non-Ti GPU, it gets stuck after loading the lnx2mac ethernet kext.
I don't have a builtin GPU or another dedicated GPU, but I do have 10.6.8 working decently atm, if it helps.

How can I boot the installer with my GTX 660 GPU?

Thank you.

What is your system?

[yonyz]

Shouldn't matter because it worked with the gtx 260 that I sold, but here it is:

i5 661
H55M-D2H
8 gb ram (currently 4 gb installed)
PNY GTX 660 2gb

Have you type in the boot GraphicsEnabler=No ?

[yonyz]

Yes.
Also realized we have a pc in the living room, so i took its HD 5450 gpu which does not boot either.

I was finally able to boot with the radeon gpu.
I used: -v -x PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x3000

I then installed nvidia driver for gtx 660, restarted, OS X boots with the 660 with correct resolution but both mouse and keyboard don't work (both are USB).

Tried USBBusFix=Yes to no avail.

I can't use the mouse and keyboard, how could I install anything?

Anyway I erased the partition and retrying the whole thing differently.
