DiNozo Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 hey guys i have many probles with my osx installation. i finished the normal system installation sucessfully (iPC 10.5.6 + 5 official patches). my system works actually fine if i boot with "disk0s1 -v". some things are not working and i dont know how this could be changed. i cant change the resolution usw. of my 2 8800 GT SLI (i guess SLI isnt working at all) i cant use ethernet as well. its the onboard lan card (Motherboard MS-7350 + nForce 650i SLI SPP) nforce Ethernet controller i cant use onboard sound (i dont know much about this device) if i look at the "Hardware List" it says "no integrated Audio" the hardware list says that there arent any pci-cards installed on my system i dont think that there is a solution to my problems. the combination of hardware is not compatible. i am sorry for my poor english and i really hope somebody is going to give me some advices or just says that i can completly forget it... thx in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/155840-nforce-650i-sli-spp-2-geforce-8800-gt-sli-force-ethernet-controller-usw/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need a modded BIOS depending on your exact MOBO model e.g. MSI P6N SLI Platinum or SLI FI (MS-7350).....you need to give full MOBO model details.... OSx86 does not support SLI........ You probably need to use EFI strings to get dual 8800 GT's running...... Use eno nForceLAN.kext....... Your audio AFIK is the Realtek ALC888 chipset.....

DiNozo Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 thx for this fast answer. the mother moard is a P6N SLI Platinum. i tried this eno nforcelan.kext before but had no sucess with it. but i guess thats because my chipset is not working well. what do you think is the best way to do it? 1. Check out this Pre-Series 7 nForce thread and make my nforce 650i working 2.Try to finde the correct EFI strings for my two 8800 GT 3. The nForceLAN.kext 4. Audio i am really trying my best but i will need some help.
