Author Update #1 @PumaSpeedDrift 2009-10-02

Ok, here's what's new:

After editing a few kexts (NVD*50HAL, NVD*40HAL, NVINJECTGO, ), system boots with out a problem. But when it gets (after fresh install), I hear movie playing, but stays on verbose screen, guess refresh rate is off, or something..hmmm...

Also: I tried the dv6000 kext's, and no luck

Anywho, still have a few things left to test, and maybe a successful graphics boot and finally get rid of natitive resolution of 1024x768

Anyone willing to suggest something, either to try, or their success please do so, adn we can help a lot of others.

BTW: this was a major cause of the system not booting fully..until removed the NVD* kexts (originally)
