Wrenbird Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 boot in safe mode, and go to /system/library/extensions/geforce.kext. right click and click "show package contents" and drag info.plist to your desktop. open it in text edit and find the device/vendor id and add your device id. example: before: 0x000010de & 0x0000ffff after(this is what mine looks like): 0x029210de & 0xffffffff no matter what, add those four f's. bingo, it should now work.

wigworm Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 You got a kernel panic. Boot up the installation disk. Go into terminal and remove all display driver you've installed.
