Geforce.kext is generic between all of the Nvidia cards, the only one that varies is the NVDANVHalxx. That one changes dependant on what series card you are using. Series 7 = 40, 6 = 30 etc.

You will need to browse on the DVD to /system/Installation/Packages/Nvidia run the Nvidia-Kexts.pkg

To Avoid a kernel panic, make sure your device ID is in the new kexts after they install.

so in order to get it, i need to get those geforce kexts from the dvd,
i was only able to boot leopard by not installing them from the dvd in the initial install, when i installed them initially from the dvd i got a black screen with a cursor and thats it,
so if i can get them from the dvd and install them now, after osx is running stable, it should work,
and if so how do i do this, thanks
