adobemaster Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hi guys, one quick question. I installed the nvidia drivers for 10.8.5 and i wanted to set the nvda_drv=1 flag in chameleon.plist, but when i do that, i get stuck on the boot proces. I am using 10.8.5 and my graphics card is gtx275. Any suggestion ?

carbo178 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 This flag is used for nVidia Web Drivers, try boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes (or No) and see if the graphics card is recognized Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298245-stuck-at-boot-because-of-a-kernel-flag/#findComment-2022239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adobemaster Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Thank you for your reply @carbo178, but sadly, i tried both parameters and it still did not work . My graphic card is recognized fine. Any other suggestion perhaps? I am kinda desperate because i could not find anyone else with the same problem...

carbo178 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 And what's happen if you boot without flag nvda_drv=1 ? You go to desktop? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298245-stuck-at-boot-because-of-a-kernel-flag/#findComment-2022249 Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbo178 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Are you sure that nVidia drivers called *web is into S/L/E? Have you Info in nVidia driver manager?

adobemaster Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 i atached pictures of my nvidia cp and my S/L/E folder focused on the nvidia drivers. Is it strange that the date modified is old for the nvidia drivers? I mean, when i installed new nvidia drivers, shouldnt they change the date modified parameter? Btw, how much do i really need those web drivers if i wanna use my hackintosh for 3d modeling/VFX and perhaps some games? Is there any big difference in perfomance?

adobemaster Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hey carbo178, i got a new picture for you. Does the new information in the picture give you perhaps any new idea? again me carbo178, sry for the spam . I managed to get the system booting up with the nvda_drv=1 flag, but i see that the control panel of nvidia is saying that its still using the OS X native drivers. Is that a graphical glitch?

carbo178 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Have you tried to boot with different options in GraphicsEnabler combined with nvda_drv-1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298245-stuck-at-boot-because-of-a-kernel-flag/#findComment-2022455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adobemaster Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Yes i tried, but i think it doesnt matter now because i can see that the web drivers are properly loaded via system info. So i think the problem is fixed now.
