Huh, reinstalled iAtkos L2, now I can't boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, otherwise the system won't have video signal.

I have a 9800GT, I reinstalled twice and the same bug happens, and I tried with Natit, without success.
Also, the system doesn't always boot.

System
  • MoBo: MSI K9N2GM-FD, Chipset GeForce 8200 (MCP78)
  • CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ @3,02 Ghz
  • RAM: Kingston 2GB DDR2 800Mhz + Corsair 2GB DDR2 800Mhz @747Mhz
  • VGA: EVGA 9800GT SSC
  • HDD: 300GB WD SATAII
  • Optical Drive: Sony SATA 24X
  • OS: Vanilla Mac OS X Server 10.6.0 + Nawcom ModCD, upgraded to 10.6.8 and Windows 7 x64.
Everything works, except sleep, so system isn't Energy Star compilant .

Unrealized, there apparently needs some more work done on the kernel to prevent launchd from crashing.

Davis, boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x2000.

I'm already using those settings (GraphicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x2000 and -legacy), and keeps happening :/

Also using the Natit/VBIOS/Nvidia rom gives me the same result.

Looks like I will need to wait for a boot cd/distro/kernel improvements in order to make it work correctly.

I will try again with iAtkos L2, with the distro kexts (Not my extra/extensions kexts, as I did with the 8Gb partition), since 10.7.3 retail doesn't let you to install from Snow Leopard.

Are you using the 10.7.3 kernel for L2 which is 10.7.2?

Yep, because is not possible to install 10.7.3 retail/updater over Snow Leopard to the lion partition, but with iAtkos is possible.

Also, I've installed the 10.7.3 update and the nvidia drivers, booting without the graphicsenabler, and is still happening.

I will try to remove some nvidia kexts that are not belonging to my vga model

PD: Looks like Snow Leopard is making some kernel/kext caches in the Lion partition.

Apparently you can't even empty the trash without Finder ... (rm -rf does the job but still ...)
