MacNutty Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 You need to install right kext for your graphics card. You would have selected it during installation. Now just re-install iDeneb and selecting right drivers for your graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now just re-install iDeneb and selecting right drivers for your graphics card. i dont select nothing because the kexts for 9600gt is not included in ideneb dvd. shall i install nvkush or nvinject for vesa support so i can install the right kexts later? please reply before install ideneb again without reason thanks in advance!

verdant Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 in my first installation i dont install vga drivers at all. in my second installation i install nvkush. in both installations i have the same problem... so i dont think nvkush is the problem Try the following: 1. After rebooting by typing -s at the boot: prompt and waiting for the prompt :/ root# to appear, type each of the following lines, followed by Enter and then waiting for :/ root# to re-appear: mount -uw / rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Ge*.kext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*.kext followed finally by exit. "logout" will hopefully then appear on screen followed by "Jettisoning kernel linker" and the rest of the verbose booting screen, resulting in successful booting into the OS X Welcome screen and music..... 2. If this happens, then check that the System Profiler shows under Graphics/Displays, 1024x768 resolution 32-bit Color depth and 32MB VRAM with Software Driven CI and QE Not Supported, and against Kernel Extension Info: No kext loaded...... 3. Then go to 9600GT thread...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
