Looks like 10.7.2 broke my system, i'm getting the black screen. I know its video. Slayer if you could post your dsdt and boot.plist if you got the update installed i'd greatly appreciate it. Apparently mine isn't doing the trick.

wassup! the solution is simple. You need to generate a new gtx285 string. btw im A_RocC on Insanelymac

When you get the files from aquamac for your GTX285, change the in.plist before you generate your EFI string.

I just followed this method.

THX goes to zoliky for the fix!

I've used the fix to edit my plist and was able to generate a new EFI String thats now working like before and backwards compatible!

A short guide:
Locate the following section in your in.plist or what ever you called it:


Replace NVDA,GeForce with NVDA,Parent.

Generate a new EFI String and insert it into your org.chameleon.Boot.plist.

That's it!
and if you integrated your gfx string into your dsdt heres the solution (basically the same as the first)

Black Screen FIX (DSDT Injection):

Replace:

Quote:

"device_type"
Buffer (0x0D)
{
"NVDA,Geforce"
}

with:



Quote:

"device_type"
Buffer (0x0C)
{
"NVDA,Parent"
}

PS. My iCloud and Appstore does not work. I've tried different bootloaders already. Ive tried deleting my network preferences, and ive tried modifying my smbios.plist. Nothing is working!!! If someone can also try to help figure this out, itll be greatly appreciated. Ive been pulling my hair trying to get this to work because i just recently got an iPhone 4s.

btw an idiot admin banned me at the kexts.com website for pointing out that an OSX86 website already exist. They changed thier website from kexts.com to osx86.net

LOL wow, thanks a lot for this man...i guess i'll delete those nvd50 files to see if i can get back into my installation

xxxslayeriiixxx 10-21-2011 01:30 PM

is your icloud working?

xxxslayeriiixxx 10-21-2011 10:19 PM

After 2 days i finally got icloud and appstore working.

I updated to the latest chameleon using CHAMPLIST. (chameleon v2.1 VS 1642) and generated a new SMBIOS thru champlist (macpro3,1) and the most vital part, i generated a ethernet efi string and combined both eth and gfx string.


Heres what my "in.plist" looks like before generating the strings thru gfxutil.

JaE-V 10-27-2011 09:09 PM

You guys on google+? The night after i got my system up and running i popped my case opened and pulled the board and stuff out for cleaning and broke a piece on my motherboard like the smartest person on the planet :( had to order a new board from evga it should get here today i guess its a different revision number. Hope it doesn't create any issues
