yeah why not, but I can't find any patch for my nvidia GT 420M...do you see any ?

Thanks anyway for your answer

I think that adding some specs might be better !

So, from Ubuntu, I exctracted my DSDT.aml, decompiled it (DSDT.dsl), and cat a lspci.txt with the details of my xps specs.

maybe it helps ?

Thx

hi

the problem is not the nvidia

is the intel 8086 : 0046 not suported in the mac os x

google mac os x 8086 : 0046

and u see

good hack

I've well understood that Intel Integrated Graphics Controller is not supported by Apple. This is why boot.list must specify "GraphicsEnabler=yes" isn't it ? (correct me if i'm wrong)

So my graphic card is "active" and still, it doesn't boot (often stop on the line Nvidia graphic card (pci00x002 ..etc etc)

this is why I supposed the error was caused by my GT 420M and that i needed to mod my dsdt.aml or add some .kext in S/L/E

or maybe delete some .kext in S/L/E that may cause a problem

Anyway, Thanks alot for your anwser
