mac_cute Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I never have done this,but maybe is more safe if you put your new card,boot with -s and delete all GeForce extensions related (You also can do this from the terminal if you boot with -x).You will enter in VESA mode.Then,install the new extensions that support your new card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac_cute Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 That is another issue ..Before you put the new card,delete all the .kext like this. 1. Boot from the DVD 2. open the Terminal and type mount -uw / cd /Volumes/"Leo or your HDD name"/System/Library/Extensions/ rm -rf GeForce*.kext NVDA*.kext Reboot Now put your new card adn try the update.
