bluesyblues Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Help is critically needed! Thank you for reading. So, I got this old beast the "Dell Workstation 690" Successfully installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 The problem is, whenever the nVidia kexts loads the screen goes black while I am almost sure the system loads flawlessly but I can't see it. I tried all the nvidia drivers be these stock OS X or retail nVidia. Doesn't help. Went through all I could find regarding this issue but still no help. The graphics card installed is nVidia GT 630 4GB Appreciate some help Thank you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292359-dell-precesion-690/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphics card installed is nVidia GT 630 4GB Appreciate some help Thank you Don't know what boot-loader you are using but if you go to /Extra and find org.chameleon.Boot drag it to the desktop open it with text edit change UseKernelCache=No GraphicEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=4 . Then drag it back it into /Extra this solved my boot problems. I also removed the darkwake=0 from the file. Here is what I am using <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <key>Legacy Logo</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>2</string> <key>UseKernelCache</key> <string>No</string> <key>PciRoot</key> <string>4</string> </dict> </plist> You can also use F8 and type those commands in manually to get it up and running.
