I think I need to go in a different direction re a video card for my SL install.  Does anyone know if an NVIDIA GE Force 210 will work with a hackintosh SL install?

UPDATE - I did some experimenting and have found that by using the -x command I get a successful boot from the HD (via Chameleon). Since my understanding is that -x is the safe boot command, that must mean the boot problem without -x is a video problem?  My video card is an ATI Radeon 4350.  Some searching on forums indicates that this is a difficult card to get working with OS X, though some have reported success.  It wouldn't be a problem for me to get a different video card, so does anyone have any recommendations?  I don't need huge graphics power, as the only gaming I do is with some flight simulators (X Plane on the Mac and a bunch of others on Win XP).  Maybe Newegg will have some 7/4 sales.

Pooky,

I tried the ncpi=0x2000 and ncpi=0x300 and neither made any difference.  Looking closely it appears that the last line shown before the garbled screen is ATY-Init:starting.  Maybe that will give a clue to what is happening.  There is also a lot of HD accessing happening at that time.

I need help getting SL to boot without Nawcom's ModCD on my ECS I780M-A system. It boots fine with the ModCD and I have video (only 1024 X 768), ethernet, USB and sound (Realtek). Following the steps in the guide to install the referenced Chameleon I get a fuzzy black and white slightly checkerboard screen when I use the -v command with Chameleon. Without the -v I end up with a light grey screen after the "wagon wheel" disappears and there is the sound of hard disk accessing but nothing more.

Sure hope someone has the solution!
