DefKorns Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 i managed to install Mac OSX with "GraphicsEnabler=n", after the installation i installed Chameleon_2.0_RC5_r656 and then i updated to to 10.6.6 and rebooted. Never been able to boot from my hdd i always have to use the USB stick. Is it possible this happens because i created the USB stick with Chameleon_2.0_RC5_r568? Does anyone know how can i install the gigabyte geforce gt 430? Tried nvidia enabler from tonymac's and didn't work i always have to use "GraphicsEnabler=n" and the usb stick to boot to the hdd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefKorns Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Made it! the only problem is that the GFX card is detected as 512Mb instead of 1Gb. Heres what i did: edited com.apple.Boot.plist and added this: <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1920x1080x32</string> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> - Then i installed tonymacx86 NVIDIA UPDATE + Chameleon 2,0 RCS from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. - Removed NVEnabler from /Extras/Extensions and reboot.

DefKorns Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 ---------Sound--------- You probably want your sound to work too. This is an easy fix. Download this modified AppleHDA kext - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...st&id=70857 Now you'll want to copy that to /System/Library/Extensions/ The last step is to double click and run Kext Utility. It will repair permissions and generate a new kext cache file. Reboot and you're done. i did this 3 times with no results. 1st and 2nd i copied the file to the dir and run the kext utility - no good the third time i moved the applehda kext over the kextutility who installed and fixed permissions still no sound I copied the /extra/extensions/P6T-SE.kext from the flashdisk to /Extra/Extensions/P6T-SE.kext on the HDD, fixed permissions with kextutility and the audio is working now! Grazie per il vostro tempo! Thanks a hell lot for your time fabio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
