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?

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.

You can always do a single user boot with "-s" and delete the offending kext. Thanks but how do I know 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61902-natit-for-nvidia-7950gt-256mb-pci-e/#findComment-440200 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61902-natit-for-nvidia-7950gt-256mb-pci-e/#findComment-440665 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61902-natit-for-nvidia-7950gt-256mb-pci-e/#findComment-441325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
