Upgraded today, but now KP on boot: X58A

[peripatew]

GA-X58A-UD3R w/ GTX 470.

I upgraded to 10.6.8 today, then to 10.7. It booted into Lion and everything but sound was working. Used Multibeast to do the audio rollback, and now I get a hang.

"-x" doesn't work, and "-v" leaves me with:


Waiting for DSMOS...
nstat_lookup_entry failed:2
Previous Shutdown Cause: 3
ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin:ushCPU_CSTData - _CST evaluation failed
NVDAGF100HAL loaded and registered
DSMOS has arrived

Any thoughts? I can't get past this at all?

Exactly the same problem with me

Can't get past this

I tried GTX 460, 480 but no luck.

Still no luck. Odd that it worked right after the install. I have no way to get to a command prompt or "safe mode".

 

[lhseong]

there are few cases that can cause the KP
1. the lan driver
2. GraphicsEnabler=yes

solution
install realtek lan driver and edit the plist put the GraphicsEnabler=NO

 

[peripatew]

Can I do the graphicenabler as a boot option? Is there a way to disable the LAN driver from boot options as well?

I can't get into "safemode" to make any changes as I KP before I get there.

GraphicsEnabler=no let me boot, and my audio us working, but not sure how to go about fixing the Video?

Does your card have native kext support in OSX? All the graphics enabler does is tell chimera whether to enable your graphics, or whether to let OSX handle it.
