SilentViper Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 o.k. i'm not the only one having this, i've seen another report of this on Netkas' website. i have a NVidia Geforce 7200GS/7300SE. (same card internally) and when i boot into safe mode i have full resolution and all is good, even after removing natit noted in my signature. When i boot into standard mode i can log in to my account but the second my Dock loads my System kernel panics Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with depencies): com.apple.Geforce(6.0.6) dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.0.6) dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.0) dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6) dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.0) BSD process name corresponding to current thread: WindowServer Mac OS version: 10C540 EDIT/UPDATE: Ways to circumvent this!! boot into safe mode enter this at F8 prompt -x boot into 32bit mode PC EFI v10.5 -x32 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196813-1062-windowserver-kernel-panic/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsdmaniac Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Same here - I expired such Kernel Panics already on 10.6.1 - usually when minimizing Apps like Systempreferences or Konsole. Since I updated to 10.6.2 I have this once I lunch any app. Booting the 32-Bit Kernel is still fine - but 64-Bit went unusable for me...

bsdmaniac Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 You can also use Silent 64-Bit Natit.kext with a wrong device ID. So you can work in 64-Bit mode, just without having QE enabled...

AzN_DJ Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Ahh Thanks dnine for that. I went out and bought a 9400GT yesterday and now am booting into 64-bit mode. However, I couldn't find an EFI string and am using NVEnabler.kext which is doing the job, but I'd rather an EFI string.
