Webster Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Well I have almost the same Graphics as you (8600GT). I installed iAtkos V1.0i R2, used the combo update to 10.5.2. Then I used the NVinstaller v.41: http://scottdangel.com/blog/?page_id=20 Don't use the DVI output, in stead use the VGA output. Don't mind about your boot, it looks like it's hanging, but it isn't. Just wait a couple minutes and you should be up and running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipinoy Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I have booting problem with my Biostar 8600GTS in Leo4All v2 after installing NVinstall v.41 .33, Nvidia Installer V1.9 2.0 etc... when i run DPCIManager I get "error unknown device" but other devices shows no error. so maybe there is more to this problem right? my Biostar has no VGA out, just 2 DVI out so i use an adapter to connect to it. Sorry I am a newbie in osx86 scene, seems like evrytime i run warcraft 3 i get error with openGL so game doesnt launch. any help is greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHL Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I have got the same problem with 8600GT and Kalyway. NVingect (not sure about the version) did not have any affect and after installing NVinstall v.41 I was unable to boot, it was just restarting at some point. Furthemore, when I tried to reinstall the OS, my hard drive partition was marked as "Unwritable" (just as it was an NTFS one), and WinXP, installed on an other partition was not booting also, returning "NTLDR was not found". This issue almost certainly has nothing to do with graphic card, but still appeared for the first time after NVInstall... So if somebody has managed to make it work, please, give advice.
