Kernel panic error when loading OSX Lion with nvidia 7900 GS. The only way it works is through GraphicsEnabler = NO. There any kext for nVidia 7900GS for Lion?
Use the installation via Unibeast.
My motherboard is a GA-H55M-USB3. BIOS ver. is F8
With Snow Leopard 10.6.8 is perfect but I need a kext for 7900GS in Lion.

The graphics card must be compatible with OpenCL?

thanx
 
Same problem here.

Crash when running normal mode.
It doesn't crash when running save mode.

Try to boot in 32Bit mode, Hope that help.
 
The GeForce 7900GS is compatible with OSX Lion???.
I restarted with the 32-bit mode Multibeast but I left in the apple screen and does not charge Lion.
It is possible that the 7900GS graphic is not compatible with OpenCL, I need another graphic card?
 
:( According to Apple, OSX compatible graphics card on Lion are:

OpenCL:

GeForce 320M, GeForce GT 330M, GeForce 9400M, GeForce 9600M GT, GeForce 8600M GT, GeForce GT 120, GeForce GT 130, GeForce GTX 285, GeForce 8800 GT, GeForce 8800 GS, Quadro FX 4800 o Quadro FX5600 de NVIDIA.
Radeon HD 4670, Radeon HD 4850, Radeon HD 4870, Radeon HD 5670, Radeon HD 5750, Radeon HD 5770 o Radeon HD 5870 de ATI.
Radeon HD 6750M, Radeon HD 6770M o Radeon HD 6970M de AMD.
 
Works flawlessly, but I do not recognize the graphics card and the post does not specify what steps must continue to recognize the 7900GS on Lion.
Only works on boot: GraphicsEnabler = no but the video does not work properly
 
What are the steps for OSX Lion recognize the GeForce 7900GS graphics card?

Note: Using Unibeast + Multibeast + DSDT.aml (F8) for: Gigabyte H55M-USB3

Thanx!!!
 
can someone help? I just got my system to 10.7.2 and everything works but the video card, what can I do to fix it?
 
I finally managed to install osx 10.7.2 lion and I recognized the GeForce 7900 graphics card GREAT!!!!, but now I have another error, when I'm copying files from an external hard drive, after a while I said, the files can not be copied (error -8062). Lion I have reinstalled several times but it says the same thing. That I can do???
