Hiro_ Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hi guys, i receive in my mail a note speaking about a new version the MacVidia Pack, then i did downlodad of it, and i past the kexts, for my extensions folder and restart my system.

ampTK Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 you guys really need to read the instructions before start putting kexts on the extensions folder. I would recommend you that for problems with np_'s drivers you go the macvidia site, that's what it is for. If you can, access your OSX installation (i.e. form another installation, live disk, linux distro that can read HFS+) and delete the added kext and the extensions.kextcache and extensions.mkext. Go back to OS X and install the driver following the instructions Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18828-macvidia-107/#findComment-123394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro_ Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Well andazp unfortunately i've than i don't agree with you, therefore in MacVidia Website i no see none instruction, or so i'm blind, and with the pack, only has the kexts. Buts i go search once again, and try again. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18828-macvidia-107/#findComment-123841 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro_ Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 Yeah, thank you for your answers, but i tryed the macvidia solution and not works, by this i posted my doubt here, and i read the instructions and i did equal the instructions was saying, but this trouble happened same like this.

Alinon Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Okay so I got stupid and didnt add the permissions before I rebooted., which looks like some other folks here ran into the same thing. I'm not familiar with the code required at all. Would it be possible for anyone here to tell me the boot command at startup so I can change those permissions before the OS loads? I'm not even sure if thats posssible at this point. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18828-macvidia-107/#findComment-124861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwprod12 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 You could try booting into single user mode (-s at darwin prompt) and doing the instructions, such as fsck -fy and mount -uw / then run diskutil repairpermissions. I've never worked with the commandline utility, so I dunno if it sucks or not.

Alinon Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Cool well atleast it sounds like it might be possible. I havent worked with the command line at all either previous to booting the OS. If anyone here knows the commands to make this happen or if it works at all its highly appreciated. Otherwise I'll have to wipe my drive and reinstall.

Georgiles Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Instructions 1) Delete IONDRV.....kext As I'm watching Macvidia.com closely for a new stable release that will support CI/QE I was trying all versions. For me the only version that worked flawlessly was beta 1 build 5, the installer. Be careful with the last one keep a back up of IONDRV and if you have ploblems boot with -s and check here the shell commands for mac: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=19069 to be able to copy back the iondrv and delete the nvidia kext files so you can get the GUI back.
