and boot foto -v just before stops. on old card all works as im writing this....

Try booting with GraphicsEnabler=No at the Chameleon command prompt, or changing your boot plist to

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>

This should get you in, but with a 1024x768 resolution.

When you installed ML did you remove the ATI6000Controller kext from UniBeast/System/Library/Extensions? Did you keep the kext?

 

[konjow]

thanks....
I installed ML with old card with no problems. Just want to change card now.
Is boot plist look good?
GE no make no difference. tried before.

 

[maximusprimus]

Try changing UseKernelCache=No, or changing the corresponding lines in your boot plist... let us know how that goes...

 

[konjow]

sorry...What do you mean "or changing the corresponding lines"?
I need to change cards to boot and edit plist and change for boot to test

 

[maximusprimus]

Okay.

Step 1: Shut down.
Step 2: Install your 6870.
Step 3: Power up your computer.
Step 4: When Chameleon comes up, type UseKernelCache=No.

Let us know what happened.

Hello, which card are you using if it is the sapphire variant I am using the following in my .boot.plist

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>AtiPorts</key>
<string>4</string>
<key>AtiConfig</key>
<string>Duckweed</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1920x1200x32</string>

With Graphics Mode being the resolution you need your monitor set up to.

When booting try -v GraphicsEnabler=No AtiPorts=4

It's worth a try!! Keep going you will figure it out.
