8400GS 256mb with QE/CI

hi

i removed the EFI strings from com.apple.boot.plist & now i've QE/CI with NVinject woo hooo. took me three miserable weeks including a fatal crash which i somehow recovered(always backup your extensions via OSx86 tools!!!) to figure this one out...

i have attached a few NVinject kexts with this - i don't remember which one worked for me - i don't even know why i installed EFI strings in the 1st place...all the very best for you QE/CI...yes, you can do it...

here's how to remove the EFI strings:



Code:
sudo -s
   [enter password when prompted]
   nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
This will take you to a text editor showing you the contents of your com.apple.Boot.plist. Look for these two lines:

Code:
<key>device-properties</key>
   <string>YOUR LONG EFI STRING HERE</string>
Using your arrow keys, navigate the block cursor down to each of those two lines and hit CONTROL+K on both. This will cut the corresponding line out of the script (quicker than hitting the delete button, trust me).

When you're done, hit CONTROL+X and then Y, and ENTER to save the file. Now simply restart OSX, and you should boot up again without EFI strings.
