Threepwood Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hello, Been running both Snow Leopard and Lion on my Gigabyte DS3L based machine for a long time, and now I want to install Mavericks on a second drive. However, I've run into a problem – the screen first went black when I tried to run the installer. After som searching I learned that I should try changing PCIRootUID to 1 or 0 and that actually let me boot and install the system. My Asus 210 1GB isn't recognized though. Or rather it's recognized as a "Geforce 210", but the resolution is stuck at 1024x768 and obv. no QE/CI. This works OOTB with Lion and GraphicsEnabler=Yes. How come Mavericks (and also ML) is different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threepwood Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Doesn't seem to work... I wonder what changed between Lion and ML? Never even heard of PCIRootUID before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I have two computers with the Asus EN210. Both worked fine with ML. Both worked fine with Mav DP7. But with Mav GM, neither one works. There are others with this card that are having problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threepwood Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Well, how about this... I made a new USB installer and tried right away with "GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=1" (I'm sure I tried this yesterday) and the friggin' thing works! Weird thing was that it assumed the HDMI output was the main display, instead of the DVI port closest to the motherboard (which has always been the case before). Mavericks feels pretty snappy even though I'm running it off an external USB 2.0 drive. Can't wait to make a proper install on my SSD drive!
