roshie Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hello! I finally got it to work and I am excited! The problem is actually with the video card, here are the instructions to fix it: Add video card device id to the NVDANV40Hal.kext, rm -rf Extension.kext & .mkext, kextcache -k Extensions, repaired permissions, Natit installer and then it booted up working fully!
