anon2122 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Dear All, Feel free to skip the first part of this, it is just background that could help pre-empt any questions. I was trying to get Snow Leopard installed on my Dell E520 PC today. After a lot of experimentation, I created a custom boot-132 CD that would boot my retail disc, and installed Snow Leopard 10.6 vanilla onto my PC. After install, I used my boot CD to start the main install, and got a successful boot, apart from graphics glitches indicating a non-compatible out-the-box framebuffer. By booting using the -x flag for safe mode, I was able to get going and set up my PC. I installed the latest PC EFI beta, and replaced the file '/boot' with the one from this page on netkas' site (beta booter). I added the following KEXTS to the /E/E folder: - FakeSMC (V2.5) - AppleIntelCPUPowerDisable - OpenHaltRestart - Dummy kext that injects my SATA RAID device ID into stock drivers Now, I could boot fine in safe mode, so I installed 10.6.2 using the combo (full file) update from the Apple website. It installed OK, and I rebooted. Here's where the problems start. I followed the instructions to edit my com.apple.Boot.plist file, and put it into my /Extra directory. I added the following to it : <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>pci1</string> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>y</string> When I boot my PC now, I get the following, depend on what I do. Normal or verbose boot = Get kernel panic on 'ATIRadeonX2000.kext', after most of the boot process. Safe mode = System hangs at end of verbose boot screen (DSMOS ready, or something like that. Since I don't have DSMOS, I guess this is part of FakeSMC) Has anyone spotted something I have done wrongly? I have tried various beta booters, and various incarnations of yes, y, for the GraphicsEnabler property. I am using the stock 10.6.2 kexts, which apparently work for others using similar/same cards. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/204336-ati-4670-kernel-panic-on-1062-atiradeonx2000kext/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MateuszDraco Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Normal or verbose boot = Get kernel panic on 'ATIRadeonX2000.kext', after most of the boot process. try using -pci0 or -pci1 while booting (just enter one of this parameters on efi screen) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/204336-ati-4670-kernel-panic-on-1062-atiradeonx2000kext/#findComment-1375434 Share on other sites More sharing options...

klh6686 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I have a 4670 on a fresh install of 10.6 which i could only boot into safe mode, but upon the combo 10.6.2 update I could boot into the desktop. However, I have a whole mess of drivers/enablers etc and because i used a script for another motherboard that had nvidia drivers included. I believe I have: evoenabler, netkas custom boot, stock kexts, and graphicsenabler=yes. I am also using netkas patches for qe/ci. I have dual 24" montiors working, one on dvi and one on hdmi>dvi and they both work and look great, I was blown away however I have a problem with random horizontal lines appearing at random times, for example it will be flawless, but if i roll over a link and the text pops up, that pop up will cause the lines to appear. Bascially, I am new to all of this, I threw a bunch of kexts/patches at the system before i updated to 10.6.2 trying to get it to work and am trying to figure out what i need to do to troule shoot this and optimizing it to where i am only using what i need to use. Can anyone give me some insight on where I should start? EDIT: I intend to do a full reinstall since I only installed on a temp drive, I will report back with my findings.
