Hi again, I got some trouble with my GPU (Nvidia Quadro FX 4600),
I installed OSX 10.9.2 on my PC, but i'm still unable to boot without -x flag,
I got a KP freezing the screen right before the login, in a gray screen with only the begin of KP message :

86706d1394805966-usbmsc-identifier-non-unique-then-still-waiting-root-device-img_0153.jpg



specs :
Dell Precision T7400
cpu : 2x Intell Xeon 2,66 Ghz
ram : 16 Go DDR2
gpu : NVidia Quadro FX 4600
 
Ok so walking around for the topic on the web, I found some partial answers,
basically the Quadro FX 4600 is the "same" card as the 8800 GTX (same GPU, same memory), the only thing is the firmware oriented for CAD.

So as it won't boot as a quadro, i wish i could flash it to be 8800 GTX, but i need a viable bios in order to flash it ...

Does anyone of you guys got a ROM of a 8800GTX compatible with OSX ?
 
Have you come across this thread yet ? http://www.tonymacx86.com/lion-desk...-t7500-lion-10-7-2-running-beautifully-2.html

You might try posting some ?'s there to see if someone with similar hardware has answers for
your problems. Just to let you know, any dual Xeon build is very complicated to get fully
working especially if you buy a prebuilt Dell workstation. I would try to install multi beast,
chimera boot loader first with a low cost compatible gfx card and then add the quadro after that
is completed.
