I get this error when i use the dmesg command in Terminal and when i boot into seingle user mode...


Whats it mean and should i be concerned?


I know it has something to do with Nvidia hardware or drivers or something...which concerns me as I do so much gaming i want everything to be in ship shape.



The problem was mentioned on Xlr8yourmac.com but they seemd to think it was loacalized to only mahcines with two graphics cards mixed(ATI,Nvidia) and over a gig of ram.....WEl my sytem is a

867 QS
ONE AGP GEforce 4 MX 64 mb card
1048 Ram
10.2.3


All the enwest firmware....i am stumped here...can anyone even tell me what this thing is ? the "Couldn't alloc class "NVDANV20Hal"


Any input at all is appreciated.

Don't you know about 2001 a Space Odyssey? Hal is taking over your graphics card it's plain and clear to me.

I thinks it's something from NVidia. NV20 is the GeForce 4 and hal means hardware abstraction layer.

i really want to know how you got 1048 RAM...did you find a 24mb stick to fit in the QS?...unless you were just not thinking and meant 1024 RAM

Is it breaking anything? I thought not. IIRC, my machine does the same thing, it's normal. (I could be wrong, in which case this post is declared null* and void)

*perhaps it should be nil since I use OSX
