superstition Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I tried Natit with the Kalyway 10.5.1 install DVD and got a kernel panic every time I tried to start up. Nvinject, which was also on the disc, didn't work. I checked the official Nvinject forum and no one seems to be able to get it working. eVGA 6800 GS PCI-e 256 MB. Edit: I accidentally confused my GS with a GT. Oops. I'm looking into posts about the GS now.

macgirl Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 PCI-X is different from PCI-E Anyway, SPECS? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80122-6800gs/#findComment-567593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to write down the messages and post them. It's interesting that when I did the rm in Terminal for the extensions.kext, it appeared in the GUI directory before I rebooted. Does OS X rebuild it immediately? I rebooted with -s, hoping I could remove the extensions.kext and so forth, but the hard drive was mounted as read only. I've read a number of posts about people getting a 6800gs to work, but there's no information about how to go about it. The posts are also old, from the 10.4 era.

superstition Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 I did it! I got hardware acceleration/QE/rotation working (along with the correct interface type and RAM amount) and, despite the kernel panics from installing NVinject 0.2.1, by editing the following after booting with -s mode: GeForce.kext, NVDANV40Hal.kext, and NVDAResman.kext I replaced the ids with 0x00c010de and 0x0000ffff The first part, 0x00c0 is the device id. Mine is a 6800GS. The second part, 10de, is the vendor id. I used 10de which is Nvidia, not eVGA, but it works. The 0x0000ffff was in one of the id areas, and I didn't know what to substitute, so I used it. In NVDANV40Hal.kext and NVDAResman.kext, there are multiple device/vendor ids listed. You only need the one for your card. I deleted the rest. Tutorials I've found don't mention this twist. I ended up repairing permissions from the Kalyway 10.5.1 boot disk via Disk Utility. There were problems with each of the three kexts, even though I did chmod and chown like I was supposed to. I could have probably repaired permissions with -s mode, but the GUI via the boot CD worked fine. Now the only thing I need to do is get sleep/reboot/shutdown working reliably. Tip: Even though NVinject 0.2.1 isn't supposed to need device ids to be manually added, they need to be added manually for this card to those kexts.

trioptic Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 care to post some details? GeForce.kext, NVDANV40Hal.kext, and NVDAResman.kext I replaced the ids with 0x00c010de and 0x0000ffff err... how? (for the n00bs)? I have this same exact problem, using SATA drives and everything.
