iatkos v7 on evga x58 help
This is my first post...looked through the forums & find it necessary to make a new thread!
Alright, so i followed this guide to install on iatkos v7 on my build: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=206434 It worked great when i only had the GTS 250 gpu.....but i recently added a GTX 260 to the system as the main GPU, and the 250 is now a dedicated physX card. I reinstalled iatkos v7 and changed only my video driver selection (to support the 260). After installation, it boots fine into OS X, but, when I restart...i select my OSX disc from the bootloader & it goes to the gray screen and then to a black screen....& once in a while i see the colored apple circle... fyi, the install is on a separate drive... Maybe something is messed up with the video drivers? Thanks for the input!

Welcome to Infinitemac
It is good practice to select only the bare minimum options when you install. Selecting NO graphics options will still give you VESA graphics and a working install. You can then apply the necessary files to get your graphics cards fully supported. 1. Try using the following boot flags Code:
-v -f -x Code:
-s Code:
/sbin/mount -uw / Code:
mkdir /Backup2 cd /System/Library cp -R Extensions/ /Backup2 rm -Rf Extensions.mkext cd Extensions rm -Rf ATI* rm -Rf GeForce* rm -Rf NVDA* rm -Rf natit.kext rm -Rf titan.kext rm -Rf NVinject.kext rm -Rf NVkush.kext MOBO: Z77MX-QUO-AOS CPU: Core i7 3770K GPU: MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC Case: Modded MacPro2,1 Memory: 32GB Corsair Vengeance (CMY32GX3M4A1600C9) Wifi: Airport Extreme bcm94321MCA BIOS: HermitCrab Labs H3A.816M Monitor: AOC Q2963Pm 29" WFHD 2560x1080 21:9 Interests: KDE on Apple Darwin, Keeping it real with the command line, Helping those that help themselves |

Backup your install to a second drive or at least make a copy of your extensions folder via Terminal:

A little more detail...I run the enabler, then the driver...and when it tries to boot:
It goes to the gray apple loading screen, freezes for a few moments...then black...then a blue background...then a black background w/ mouse....nothing after this.... 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean.
