Huge problem.

The initial actions were great, booted me right into the GUI. It appears though that the actions taken afterward (which I double checked, to write everything in terminal verbatim) some how rendered my drive unboootable.

I now get:

Non-system disk
Press any key to reboot

right before it should be hitting Chameleon. I have yet to be replied to on any thread here I've posted in, it'd be appreciated if someone could help.

Thanks

Edit: I'm a goddamn moron. I left my USB stick in from the GFXstrings. You're a savior OP, thanks so much.

Same exact problem here. Specifically, The Sims 3. Audio works just fine (can hear the intro video, but not see it).

does anyone have this zip file? It doesnt seem to be working. You can email it to me if you got it ([email protected]) Thanks!

An update-

As the other posters have mentioned, moving the NV* "problem" kexts, regardless of fixing the permissions, will still result in a black screen (does for me at least)

My QE/CL is still crippled, seeing as the Flurry screensaver, Spaces, and Chess.app all run terribly.

Hello, everyone.

I really need your help in installing/configuring my PC to run Snow Leopard on top of it.

My PC config:
CPU: Intel Core Duo E2160
Videocard: NVidia Gigabyte GV-N26OC-896H (GTX260)
Motherboard: Asus P5B
6 GB Memory ( 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 )
2 HDD drives

I know, that my configuration is not ideally for MacOSX, but...
So, my first attempt to install SnowLeo was iAtkos S3 v2. I installed it a lot of times before figuring out what kexts/drivers/patches should I install to boot it up.

The approach, that was giving me almost successfull result was: enable GraphicsEnabler, boot into single user mode and remove everything from /System/Library/Extensions/NV*. Then I can boot into system using normal mode, but expose and any other graphics-related features were working very slow. When I put the NV*-drivers back to /System/Library/Extensions/ - I get a black/gray screen after boot and nothing happens after. If a boot in verbose mode - I see my system loads and then again I see the same black screen.

I vas trying to use EFI strings and NVEnabler. Effect is the save - when drivers are in /System/Library/Extensions/ - I cannot move further, than black screen after booting. If I delete drivers - everthing loads, but no hardware acceleration is enabled, of course.

I tried to use the method explained here: http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/...c-os-x-on.html (except I didn't take out hdd and additionsl memory). The result is interesting - I cannot boot the MACOSX Retail DVD 10.6.3. I get into the same black screen I was in before. The same result I got using MacOSX Retail DVD 10.6.0 from my friend's MacBook Pro.

Please, help me to enable these NVidia Drivers or what else could cause such symptoms?
