RobNyc Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I've tried in 10.4.8/10.4.9 the Natit installer and it just kernel panic Now with 10.4.10 I haven't tried the installer since I'm scared for another Kernel Panic and lose all my stuff. Is there any safe way 100% that I can get Titan removed and Natit installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kernel panic won't make you loose your "stuff" it just crashes the computer. You can always do a single user boot with "-s" and delete the offending kext.

Because I've ran the Natit installer and it always gives me kernel panics .. On my last 10.4.10 install I booted as -s, mount , and removed Titan.kext, mkext and kextcache as I was told on the irc. I rebooted and I couldn't go into gui. I reinstalled 10.4.9 and didnt select the NV40 and I ran the Natit installer for 10.4.9 and kernel panic again. So I'm really lost here, I reinstalled 10.4.10 again and select NV40 just to have proper resolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiaboliK Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 RobNyc is on a nforce 4 chipset so he has to modify the geforce and natit to only have his device id of his gpu set into thier info.plist's to not cause a kernel panic. -D- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobNyc Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 well I did the following.. I d/l'ed the Natit v0.02 dual.zip, I opened the kext and edit IOPCIMatch to 0x209510de and to Geforce.kext mv Natit.kext * to /System/Library/Extensions/ rm -R /System/Library/Extentions/Titan* chmod -R 755 * chown -R root:wheel * Rebooted and its not going into gui. Its giving me please restart this mac and when I type -v this is what I get. I also mv Natit.kext to /System and same I mv it back to Extensions and changed 0x209510de in both files just to 0x2095 Nothing I have changed the IOPCIMATCH id to 0x029510de in all these files but still. Natit.kext, GeForce.kext, NVDAResman.kext, and NVDANV40Hal.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
