NVinject family matching isn't a big deal as those NVDA... these were always a part of the problem with the GeForce kexts from early Leopard installers... (I even re-ran into this problem when I installed native to my AMD via the boot-132 method).

boot via "-s"The issue with the ".KGrQ" file is that it is a temporary cache file for the .mkext file when it is recreated (although named with a different extension each time).

Did that and then tried loading and it loads and then the apple splash screen wheel spins for a little then stops like its going to start loading and never loads...

Thanks in advance.

Persistence, Persistence, Persitence.
nfova8or, thanks for all the advice.

Final Solution:

Clean install and didn't apply ANY nVidia drivers.
Booted up, installled RC and System 9.5.0 kext, not sure if i had to...installed nvinject. applied a PATCHED 10.5.5 w/ the great Zeph's .31 patcher.
Restarted after 10.5.5 install then I got error....

Reset my permissions and voila.

I am certain that this will work when I try again using just the RC to patch on the fly the update. But as of now, running 10.5.5 thanks for all the help again!!

Although my QE is not working anymore...

don't use nvinject
remove that kext and install NVkush
or use an efi string

Is this a personal preference or is there some known reason now for nvinject not being usable? I use EFI now but I haven't had issues with nvinject in the past (maybe its the version type).

well if he is using the older version of Nvinject it won't work on anything above 10.5.3(if I recall) there was an issue with the code but they did release a new one to fix this
but it isn't personal preference It is just NVkush fixes this problem
But it is best to use an efi string as you don't have to worry about kexts not working with updates and what not

what is your card axhi
i know it is 8600 GT but how many MB

Hey Hey. Here was my fix.

I did the 'ol nvinstaller v.52 addition and restarted and voila. qe/ci beautfuil 10.5.5

ps, i have a pny 8600 gt 512mb
