pieceofpaper Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Hi folks, I'm currently experiencing mixed success with my installation of Iatkos S3v2. My hardware is as follows: MoBo: Asus p7p55d-e CPU: Intel core i5-760 GFX: XFX GeForce 6800XT Along 2x HDD's on SATA, one DVD-RW on sata, and another DVD-RW on IDE, using the JMicron controller. Install went fine, currently using the vanilla kernel, booting with the busratio=22 kernel flag. All my hardware seems to be functioning correctly, however, I don't seem to be able to enable Graphics Acceleration at all. I've tried various methods, including editing kexts, using enablers, etc. So I did a clean install, because my previous attempts were in a somewhat sleep-deprived state! Selecting drivers for my hardware, and also the Chameleon Bootloader, and the Graphics Enabler option. However, when I booted, this simply froze. So I booted into Windows, removed the Graphics enabler option, and rebooted, this booted successfully, and I was able to boot to OSX, and install the 10.6.4 combo update. This is about where I stand at the moment really, any suggestions? Thanks in advance Dave Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/240995-kernel-panic-with-graphics-enabler-enabled/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Try booting in 32-bit mode - 7xxx series Geforce cards don't work in 64-bit mode beyond 10.6.2, which means older 6xxx series card won't work either. For PCI_EFI the flag is -x32, on Chameleon it's arch=i386.

pieceofpaper Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 ok ... so booting with "arch=i386 GraphicsEnabler=Yes -v" now I get "ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out. do I still need to edit my GeForce Kexts to include the device Id's? Or maybe install a different driver for ACPI?

Giorgio_multi Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 The XFX 6800GT is AGP or PCI-E? Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/240995-kernel-panic-with-graphics-enabler-enabled/#findComment-1609728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieceofpaper Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Giorgio - PCI-E, sorry, forgot to mention that! Thought I'd mention as well, it boots fine into 32 bit mode without the GraphicsEnabler option. Should I make life easy for myself and just buy a new Graphics card? If so, any suggestions?
