reenable osx after hardware changes

[eckhard_]

Hey all,

 

i had a nice and smooth 10.4.8 runnin untill the day i decided i need more gfx power for supreme commander,

well as you can guess from the topic i didnt check for osx compatibility first and couldnt start my

osx for weeks now.

 

i know there are no drivers yet for gf8 series cards, so i just would like to know what my options are

if they arrive.

I hope this question can be generalized and by this answers similar questions. that´s why I didnt post it

on page 39 of the gf8 thread ...

 

System accessibility now is:

 

i have access to the hfs partitions via transmac from winxp.

 

the darwin booting process reaches to the grey "you must restart" screen.

 

Is a critical hardware driver topic like this solvable by simply changing some kext´s later on ?

Or do you think i must wipe the installation and start a new one with the drivers already included ?

 

I also have the possibility to borrow the old gfx card back for a day to make the system run again ( i hope )

 

 

cheers
