Hi Everone,
           Can the text line in what ever boot up config file be erased involving the nVida (graphics) driver that shows up as an error several times in text boot up with X86 Apple Darwin Version 8.0.0 if the box (pc) doesn't have an nVida graphics card installed ??



As for your question above, why don't you remove the nVidia kexts from /System/Library/Extensions (GeForce* and maybe NVDAN*), touch /System/Library/Extensions, reboot and then tell us if it worked? That way you can actually ADD SOME KNOWLEDGE to the community rather than pick our brains about trivialities.

You can probably remove the references to graphics kexts and get the system to boot to console mode. I did this a couple of years ago on the version of Darwin that was current at the time.

If your goal is to get some sort of GUI running, though, you're wasting your time. Sooner or later you will have to buy a supported graphics adapter in order to run X11 on Darwin.

Judging from your previous messages, Chuck is right; Darwin is not the system for you. You might be able to run FreeBSD or NetBSD on your hardware, but probably some form of Linux is your best bet.
