him Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have installed the new sleepenabler.kext and updated to 10.6.2 but now I always get a blue screen after the os has loaded, I know it's loaded ok as I hear the gmail notifier chime but all I can see is a blue screen with no cursor. If I press the power button to sleep the computer, the desktop briefly appears before going into sleep but will not wake (sleep worked ok before 10.6.2 update) If I boot in safe mode the desktop displays normally. Booting with -v the output looks the same as before the update apart from one new line "fakesmc key info not found msds -6" any suggestions? or anyone with a similar problem? (I'm using the updated sleepenabler.kext and fakesmc 2.0) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/197093-blue-screen-after-boot-since-1062-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javimdq Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Same here, but connecting the monitor using VGA output corrects the problem. If someone knows how to proper configure XFX 9500GT VGA/DVI using DVI in SL 10.6.2, I will appreciate the help.

him Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 same here I can't boot with nvdaresman.kext, I only get a blue screen but without it in sys/lib/ext I don't have qe/ci which I did have working in 10.6.1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/197093-blue-screen-after-boot-since-1062-update/#findComment-1328495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA22C Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Don't delete NVDAResman! All you need to do is edit the info.plist of fakesmc.kext and add the missing keys.

him Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 I added the string <key>MSDS</key> <string></string> as outlined here though I still get the same fakesmc message, however I don't think this has anything to with my graphics problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/197093-blue-screen-after-boot-since-1062-update/#findComment-1328573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
misled-insight Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I'm relatively new to this scene. I figured out that I can still VNC into my box, and it works fine, but the screen is blue on the monitor unless I change the resolution to 1024x768 and reboot. I wasn't sure what keys to add and where. It turns out, you just have to add the following lines to the fakesmc info.plist: <key>MSDS</key> <data></data> *Update:I forgot to mention that you have to purge your extensions cache in order for the plist changes to take effect. I found the answer here (but I changed <string> to <data> to fit with the other smckeys): http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...903&st=1500 So, I no longer get the blue screen or the MSDS message on boot, but now when I boot in any resolution but 1024x768 all get is a dark gray screen with a mouse cursor. Anybody else having this problem? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot it?

him Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 I changed the fakesmc key as you described but still get the same msg when booting and still a blue screen with nvdaresman.kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/197093-blue-screen-after-boot-since-1062-update/#findComment-1328658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_MAC Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I had exactly the same problem last night. For what ever reason I installed again the dsmos.kext and since, no blue screen any more. I don't know way but it does the trick for me. The fakesmc.kext is also installed. Now I only struggle with sound ALC889a.

Javimdq Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I tried many several things. I reinstalled SL and with an NVCAP (DVI/VGA from OSX86) I got DVI working with QE. Problem: Color calibration does not respond. Once I changed resolution, it will no boot anymore, only blue screen. If I press/release the power button I see the screen for 1 second, at 1600x1200 with QE enabled, but it goes to sleep and never wake up. Added missing keys to FakeSMC. I will try dsdmos.kext to see what happens. VGA is working OK, also dual monitors works OK, but DVI only does not.

LogicalUser Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Its just a guess, but has anyone read through & tried the solutions in this thread? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=196878 most of the people are usin a 8800GT/9800GT, otherwise the symptoms sound similar, it certainly cannot hurt to try?

I tried replacing nvdaresman and nvdanv50hal with the versions from 10.6.1 as suggested in that thread but end up with the same result; blue screen if nvdaresman is loaded. Another suggestion in that thread is to use the graphics port closest to the motherboard for your display output, though I'm waiting for an adapter to arrive before I can try this.

CPT_MAC Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 one more thing I found out. I have to boot always with option -f otherwise I have the blue screen.

Javimdq Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Most I could get is to boot using DVI, full res and QE enabled but Color Calibration does not work and if I change resolution I get blue screen and have to restart for changes to take effect. Using VGA output everything is OK, but image quality is very poor compared with DVI. Does anyone knows why Color Calibration does not work? I tried 10.6.1 kexts, ioprobescore=0, etc. and same results. EDIT: Finally "solved" using NVenabler 0.1 from Leopard. No more blue screens, DVI output and calibration works (10.6.2). Problem: 32 bit only. Tried NVenabler 64 bit but does not work, neither AppleRTC and Atheros wireless.

The 10.6.1 extensions (NVDANV50Hal and NVDAResman) work for me. Not a permanent fix, but it's better than being stuck in 1024x768. Thanks!

him Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 I removed the efi string from my boot.plist and installed nvenabler64 into extra/extensions from here , rebuilt extensions.mkext and repaired permissions with kext utility and now everythings back to normal using 10.6.2 kexts (full qe/ci) though my card model isn't displayed in system profiler Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/197093-blue-screen-after-boot-since-1062-update/#findComment-1333870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stondubleyt Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I tried NVEnable 64.kext too, and it works. And then I change the resolution lower, remove the NVEnable 64.kext, the snow has no blue screen. So, it means that the nv driver in 10.6.2 is worse than 10.6?
