Safe Boot only FIX nvinject kext issue

[bl4gg3r]

man, i have it working at last.

 

maybe i've missed loads of posts that were telling me all about this, but anyway, this is the deal:

 

i installed ok but then could only boot to safe mode (-x)... in safe mode it's fully yum yum, can set correct screen resolutions, but obviously this is no good because sound doesn't work (+ whatever else, i never took the time to find out)...

 

the kext that was being loaded for my graphics card was NVinject.kext

 

after muchos muchos trial and error i found that at the bottom of the Info.plist it says:

 

<key>OSBundleRequired</key>

<string>Safe Boot</string>

 

?????

 

right?

 

well that looks fishy eh?

 

turns out if you just edit this an set it to:

 

<key>OSBundleRequired</key>

<string>Root</string>

 

then Bob is in fact your OSx86 Uncle.

 

It boots fine, no worries and everything works... am i being dumb? is this posted in big letters everywhere that i should have seen? well anyway, i hope this helps you

 

btw thanks to some to random thread from somewhere i glanced at once & could never find again that told me to set it to "Root"

 

working system now:

 

2.4 quad core intel

4gb ram

nvidia 7300 gt 512mb (yes it even sees all 512 after this -

 

Chipset Model: Graphics by NVIDIA

Type: Display

Bus: PCIe

PCIe Lane Width: x16

VRAM (Total): 512 MB

Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)

Device ID: 0x0393

Revision ID: 0x00a1

)!!

 

may work for other kexts too if you get the same Safe Boot issue (like Natit etc...)

 

NB. if you don't know: to edit the kext open terminal (from applications>utilities) and type:

 

sudo nano /system/library/extensions/nvinject.kext/contents/info.plist

 

or replace "nvinject" with the name of your kext.
