maticks Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hi, I've got a P4 3.0ghz SSE3 processor with an GA-8I915P Duo motherboard with a 6600 Nvidia video card. I downloaded the vmware image which I dd to a hard drive to boot it. With verbose enabled everything seems to boot up with a few little errors but it seems to continue. display: family specific matching fails kextd[36]: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext kextd[37]: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleACPIPPlatform.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleACPIDisplay.kext the last message i get before it just stops is... display: vram [d00000000:1000000000] and thats it, any idea's what could be causing this ?

bloodroot Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I'm getting the same error. Boots up fine in vmware, but hangs there when booting natively. Im running on a centrino notebook with a radeon 9600 mobility Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/566-vram-error/#findComment-3757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzlet Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 boot into safemode (-x) and delete all ATI kext files from /System/Library/Extensions Oh, and that's to bloodroot, didn't realise you had an nvidia card at first, maticks.

Jetta VR6 6Spd Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 boot into safemode (-x) and delete all ATI kext files from /System/Library/Extensions Oh, and that's to bloodroot, didn't realise you had an nvidia card at first, maticks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The same should apply to the NVidia. Just pull out any that relate to NVidia or GeForce. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/566-vram-error/#findComment-3935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
