Kempi Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) Hello, i have changed my graphics card and then Mac don't wanna boot (video). I tried to do an update but after the installation, it's the same problem... I don't want to format beacause i have all my work on the partition (iLife '06 + iWork)... I changed from NVidia 6200 into NVidia 7600GT. I also tried to boot with "-x" option and this is the same problem when i boot normally on the other hand with "-s" it boot but i dunno what to do... JaS 10.4.8 SSE2 Thanks a lot if you can help me.

hecker Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) First of all, it's not a mac it's a hack or Hacintosh Please elaborate on how you went on upgrading your video card, step by step. Did you edit the files to reflect the changes made? Did you flush the kext cache? hecker Edited March 18, 2007 by hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45613-change-graphics-card/#findComment-326456 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kempi Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 You need to edit your nVidia kexts. Try following this guide. Do you think i can do it in single user mode ("-s") ?

hecker Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Do you think i can do it in single user mode ("-s") ? Yes, but you will have to enable read/write for your HDD after booting by typing: mount -u -o rw / The system will also give you this information when you boot in -s mode. hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45613-change-graphics-card/#findComment-326474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
