I was able to get the card recognized on an Asus Laptop but the proper kexts do not load... I used a DSDT edit:

						DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))

This did not work for me, with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, it just says my specific card early on the boot and doesn't boot any further.

 

With the card enabled on booting it just stops at "NVClockX: Overclocking..." then if I wait it just says "Still waiting for Root device."

 

Safe mode boots, but who wants to work in safe mode?

 

Don't know what else to do :/

 

Chameleon says my card is supported in their bootloader, but with GE=Yes it just doesn't boot anything!

 

Thanks

This is trying to boot with GraphicsEnabler=No

I think my DSDT alo missing some information , my nVidia is a 230M, Can Here To Help look at my files ;-)

 

Cant boot into ML since there is a issue with the NV kext, however using kext from DP2 works.

Looks good but you do have more edits then what I use for Nvidia but what ever makes it work properly. I cleaned up the errors you had and enabled the Power Button.

Was you getting NVClockX: Overclocking... then nothing after that?

 

Could you upload the DP2 Kext that you are using please?
