Install goes fine I have the gigabyte es21 blah blah blah anyway my graphics card is a gforce nvidia gs8800 and when install nvinject everything is fine except when i boot into x64 which it does by default i get no kext installed in the system properties, but if i do a -v -x32 i get full graphics. Even when I do an EFI inject I still have the same situation... Any suggestions yes I can run it on x32 but whats the point I can go back to 10.5.8 and its basically the same I installed sl for full 64 support, the card works flawlessly in win7 64bit environment so I just dont get it, thanks guys

an efi inject? EFI strings should work on both 32/64. When your done installing the EFI string, remove the nvinject. http://aquamac.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=hack1&thread=509

Yep you shouldn't have any probs, I've added a copy of my com.apple.Boot.plist for you to check with yours. efi string 8800gs only, if you use the file make sure you change uuid

What do you mean full retail? Do u have 10A432? cuz thats the GM version which is retail. And most of the posters here in the forum usually use GUID partition.

Let's clear somethings up. It's confusing on what ur saying. Tell us your system specs and what bootloader u used. Also what tutorial or guide did u follow....
