cyrana Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 What video card? Sorta doubtful the chipset is supported anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimox Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 the video card is ATI RS200M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I agree with Cyrana, is not the VIDEO, Vga Family Not Match message isn't really a problem. But your chipset is not in any of the possible kexts although it could load Generic/Intel compatible IDE/ATA kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sesquipedalian Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I too am having this problem. The installation proceedure gets as far as this message, and then the process just hangs. Does anyone know how I can fix it? Would editing a kext or something on the DVD image to include reference to the ATI RS200M repair this problem?
