Hi everyone, can you please tell me how would I be able to install a retail SL 10.6 with a GTX280 card ? Is there any booloader which can load working driver, or another functional method than using another card, because I do not want to buy a card especially for installing the OS.

Can you make a quick list of your hardware so we can check what boot cd works the best for you?

 

My mb is a EP31-DS3L

Proc: quadcore Q6600

graphic card: GTX280

ram 2x2Go@800Mhz.

 

Btw, i found here a bootloader for nvidia 2XX:

but I tried to change the DSDT.aml and smbios.plist with a file from another boot CD which is working with my MB, but I guess it has to be done under OSX, because I done it under windows with ultraiso and it boot but stop after cdboot done.

If I change nothing, then as It's not intended for my MB i think, I got stranges chars and a reboot.

I finally managed It to work by using the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD from here:

First it didn't work because I tried with the -x bootflag, but with only -v I get the install screen. Let's have fun with another problem now :unsure:
