starobrno1 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hey Mysticus C I fixed that Nvinject problem for my GA Geforce 7300gs 256mb. Thought you might want to have the kext. I borrowed the 256mb Nvinject.kext from your package and changed the NVCAP in it´s info.plist so it sets the signal to VGA DVI instead of DVI DVI. It´s probably allmoast sure it´s possible to get it to work DVI VGA by using another NVCAP string. I have a thread over in the Hardware and drivers graphics about it if anybody needs that string and how to do it. It works for my card got QE and dual displays (using a DVI VGA converter on the DVI port), probably for other to but I don´t know that for sure. One thing I believe people do wrong when they laborate with kexts is they forget to delete the com.apple.kext.info in the caches folder in system/library/extensions and repair permissions before they reboot. My specs: GA P35-DS3R Q6600 GA Geforce 7300gs 256mb 8 gig memory 1 Sata2 HD 1 IDE HD 1 IDE DVD Bios set to AHCI everywhere you can JMicronATA_64 bit for IDE to work Power OFF bugg fix working pretty good leaves my CPU fan and powersupply on sometimes though but that´s small stuff. Pci FW card with TI chipset for my Saffire Pro 10 i/o soundcard Upgraded to retail Leo 10.5.3 NVinject.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpcman Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hello All, I have tried the 10.5.3 update (1.4a) on an unmodified iATKOS 2.0i stable install in a Dell Precision 360. The update completes without any problems. However, the subsequent boot fails as a result of a panic call. See message in screen capture image. The boot process appears to be looking for the ACPI driver in disk1s2/leo... The system is loaded on disk0s1 so I don't know why the boot process is trying to access disk1s2. I should also mention by way of background that whenever I reboot the system the iATKOS 2.0i install disk must be in the dvd drive or else the boot fails. Does anybody know what steps I should take next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tense Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 mmm strange, i did a forum search for 'PAM error" and i didn't find it. Anyways i am gonna try.You cannot truely use the search on this forum. It is not functioning like it should. The best way to located anything on this forum is to go out to google and type what you are looking for adding insanelymac to it... IE.... "PAM Error 10.5.3 insanelymac"They are currently working on a solution to this issue. I have seen some posting on it in the Donator's Lobby. We should all leave Mysticus a little breathing room. Follow his instructions carefully. Always backup...and I advise not performing any updates from anyone on your main system. Make sure you are carefully selecting your Kernel and settings. AS he said before... The general settings should work for most. But, updates should be done only if you know what you are doing. I didn't even listen to this advice. As I know very little....... I just got lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got lucky. exactly... testing takes time... i think i found a solution and trying to work it out... but it takes painful long amount of time... i had to check 40+ scripts to figure out what is causing this issue... it involves lots of cloning and reinstalling of update to compare systems and checking the differences... to see everything matches and working... so please be patient... this is a learning curve for everyone... one things learnt, it will take only couple of hours to make a patched update to be released... for example 10.5.4 bricking system in a controlled environment is good bcoz u can see what is going wrong while you still have one working system like i explained in the post#1 about creating a brick free system... so it is up to you guys to test things out on a test partition... once you do it, you will understand how easy things are gonna be for you in the future!

starobrno1 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I tried with your metod for my 7300 but when I rebooted my pc it give me the error that you can see in the photo ... OH man I wrote a pretty long reply to you Andrea but the server went down so I lost it, it sucks when these things happend. Well that´s life sorry but I can´t see what it say on the pictures. I see you have a laptop maby this Nvinject is not for laptops, laptops don´t they have onboard videocards? Well anyway what I did was I "borrowed" the 256mb Nvinjekt.kext from Mysicus packade and changed only the NVCAP string from DVI DVI to VGA DVI meaning your first video port/connector/output becomes VGA and the second becomes DVI. This gives you can add a VGA converter to your DVI port to be able to connect a VGA monitor even to that one. As I understand you have to remove all old video kexts like old Nvinject and Natit before you install the new one then you clear the caches and do the repair permissions. But like I said it works for me I´ve got a homebrewed desktop hack (look at my specs in my last reply) I´m not sure about laptops though. If anything is unclear in my own thread over in Hardware and Drivers about this please let me know and I´ll rewrite it. I´mean in case you tried to change the kext over to DVI VGA instead and that´s what went wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euthenics Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Great. Will test it out. Would it be possible if you can add more newer and different types of kernels support on it in the next 10.5.4 update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysticus C* Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 @nscx: you guys are pre booting from dvd which is loading kernel and pre boot settings from dvd and trying to boot from disk1s2 which seems to be your active partition otherwise it wouldnt bother looking at that location... so what i mean in short is you have bootloader problem in the first place bcoz u r using dvd to boot, you cant boot from hdd itself? you gotta fix this first... if both of u have same problem exactly same messages, means your system is already scrambled... the update package has nothing to do with bootloader... but if you say you were able to boot from hdd but this update broke it? than story is different,,, u can give new update a try... but make sure you know what you are doing... like some systems esp laptops or some certain mobos has acpi problem in their bios, so they need to use older acpi driver... make sure you replace acpi driver from one of your previous ones... (meaning if u start clean this new update package will backup your extensions folder so you can grab teh files, from backupkexts folder, if you wanna do this update on top of previous one, i m not sure i made acpi backup in previous one... check previous backup folder named bakcups, or else you gotta grab your previous acpi driver somehow...) good luck...

Hi Mysticus, Test was successful.... I deliberately chose to install PCGenUSBEHCI from the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD.....checked it was present in IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins, and then ran your v1.4b Updater..... as you say it is removed!..... Excellent feature in your v1.4b Updater for new installers of Kalyway 10.5.2 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starobrno1 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 The Nvinject.kext I uploaded here also works on my Asus P4P800se mobo, P4 3Ghz cpu with the PNY AGP 8X 256MB videocard. I´m typing this from it now, QE and dual displays working on this one to. You have to move or delete your old Nvinject or Natit kext and then you delete the com.apple.kext.info file in the system/library/extensions/cahes folder and then repair permissions using diskutility before you reboot. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
