flibblesan Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I guess that's failing as it's trying to look for the Nvidia card, which it won't find in vmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 nForceMac, I think you should make 2 seperate packages, one for the NF6 installer and one for the 8800. It won't be as confusing then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdk420n Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Hey, think you guys can try and help me out. I succesfully installed Jas 10.4.8, and booted up with NVDAResman.kext removed. Everything was cool except my graphics card was not recognized. So I tried your installer and it did its thing, and then when I rebooted it stoped at "login window application started". I tried installing the login window fix from Jas dvd but it didn't change anything. It does the same thing when I boot into safe mode aswell. The strange thing is that I can boot into vmware just fine. About this Mac tells me that it is 10.4.9. So I'm assuming that your updater worked but something is messed up with my graphics card. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will give you the Macbook prop update, the nvidia kexts, and will allow you to patch the drivers for your card. Or use mac.nub's GF8 installer from http://www.macdotnub.info/downloads.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flibblesan Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Oh wait, you have an 8800GT card? I don't think they work at all yet, sorry. nforcemac: Hows it going? Any progress on your 10.4.10 patch or Leopard? I've been proper busy so I've not had a chance to play with it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nforcemac Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hey guys, Fighting with Leopard at the minute.

flibblesan Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Anybody got Leopard running yet? Only thing that stops me is the nvidia kexts causing a kernel panic when booting the installer DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flibblesan Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Well that was short lived... Motherboard has died thanks to a bad BIOS flash.

Dasutin Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hey I just installed 10.4.8, the version that nforcemac recommends installing on the nForce 680. I went and installed it (installed fine) and now its freezing when it boots for the first time. I did a -v in the darwin bootloader and the last thing it says is Dec 1 11:23:35 localhost mDNSResponder: Adding browse domain local thats all it says but after looking 3 lines up and its just started the Login Window Application. Is that the Login Window freeze that you guys are talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dasutin Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Well I fixed the Loginwindow.app problem by reinstalling OSX with the loginwindow fix that was on Jas DVD. Now when I went to install MacDaveNF6Installer.dmg, it installed fine and I rebooted. Now I get it freezing on the Loginwindow again. Any ideas on how to fix it?

~pcwiz Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Install the loginwindow fix again maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasutin Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 well after doing a lot of reading on the forums, it seems that some people have the same problem but no one has a fix for it, I went and made sure the Device ID was 0193 for the three kext's, and I checked to see if MacDaveNF6Installer.dmg over wrote the loginwindow fix but it doesnt. After thinking about it something is going wrong with the display and it locks up at the loginwindow. So I deleted the NVDAResman.kext and it boots up fine into 10.4.9. I put the NVDAResman.kext back on and when looking at NVInject starting up under -v it shows that the card fails to start. Now I dont know if this matters or not but I have 2 EVGA 8800GTS's for SLI. Does it matter that I have both cards in when starting up 10.4.9 with NVInject installed? My Setup: Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 EVGA 680i Motherboard 2 EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB for SLI 4GB Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasutin Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Update from my problem, I removed the Second 8800GTS from my computer, reinstalled 10.4.8, then removed all the ATI and Nvidia kexts, then I installed nforcemac's update and then restarted and then it finally booted to 10.4.9 with the 8800GTS working with CI/QE working. I used MikeInNs's nForce Ethernet driver to get the onboard ethernet working and now I just have to get the Sound enabled. Its been 2 days trying to get it to work and it was fun! Its so fast but I wish SATA works so I can get the speed that I really need! Oh it was poor investigation on my part to find out if all the kexts needed to be removed or it was the second card that was stopping me from booting into OSX. I'll add the second card right now and see what was really the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObsidianX Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hey folks! As far as the ethernet driver goes, I've gotten forcedeth working on my MCP67 with the hard-coded MAC reverse. If anybody's interested in trying it on their own I've attached it. You'll also have to add your dev/vend id's into the Info.plist for it to load on your specific device. It works just fine, you just have to have your ethernet line connected on boot for it to connect. Good luck! forcedeth.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
