LocusOfControl Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hi Thought I'd warn/help anyone who gets same problem I had 2 drives on a EX58-UD5 with a PowerColor 4870 1GB. I decided to install Windows 7 on one of the disks (taking a risk because it was previously my backup SL disk!) I didn't disconnect my primary SL disk during the install. Windows 7 installed and after a bit of registry fiddling I got AHCI working. I didn't do anything to the SL install. Having installed Windows 7 it updated ATI drivers along with MS patches. When I tried to select SL at boot from Chameleon it would hang at the graphics loading. Booting with -v -s flags I could get to the root prompt, checked /S/L/E and /EFI/Extra and nothing appeared wrong. Tried booting with pcefi v3 and v4 without success. I didn't have a copy of ATY_init on SL drive I checked the windowserver logs Oct 24 17:05:45 [65] CGXPerformInitialDisplayConfiguration Oct 24 17:05:45 [65] Display 0x41dc9d00: VirtualDisplay Unit 0; Vendor 0x756e6b6e Model 0x76697274 S/N 0; online enabled built-in (0,0)[1280 x 1024], Rotation 0, base addr 0x1b0021000 Oct 24 17:05:45 [65] AGCAttach: Couldn't find any matches Oct 24 17:05:45 [65] Display 0x41dc9d00: VirtualDisplay Unit 0; ColorProfile "Display" Oct 24 17:19:08 [90] Server is starting up Oct 24 17:19:08 [90] kCGErrorFailure: CGXMappedDisplayStart: can't open any framebuffer Oct 24 17:19:08 [90] kCGErrorFailure: CGXDisplayDriverInitialize: No Display drivers loaded Oct 24 17:19:08 [90] kCGErrorFailure: IOHIDSetCursorEnable returns -536870208 Oct 24 17:19:08 [90] CGXPerformInitialDisplayConfiguration Oct 24 17:19:08 [90] Display 0x41dc9d00: VirtualDisplay Unit 0; Vendor 0x756e6b6e Model 0x76697274 S/N 0; online enabled built-in (0,0)[1280 x 1024], Rotation 0, base addr 0x1b0021000 In windows I unloaded the windows 7 driver for the SL disk and rolled back the driver on 4870. Tried booting SL again still no fix. After a lot of fiddling decided to try putting in old nvidia 8400 card in the othe PCIe slot (couldn't get the 4870 out) Tried booting again with same pcefi v10.4 boot file, this time it recognized the replacement nvidia card which loaded the SL windowserver. I downloaded pcefi 10.5 and ATY_init, installed both (belt and braces!) repaired permissions, ran kext installer and toggled the profiles in color synch utility (this fixed a problem I had once before with WM crashing) I then shutdown, removed the nvidia card, replaced all connections to the 4870 card. On rebooting the 4870 was recognized again by the new pcefi 10.5 The backup ATY_init was loaded and unloaded, everything seems to be working again Oct 25 14:41:45 localhost kernel[0]: npvhash=4095 Oct 25 14:41:45 localhost kernel[0]: PAE enabled Oct 25 14:41:45 localhost kernel[0]: 64 bit mode enabled Oct 25 14:41:45 localhost kernel[0]: Darwin Kernel Version 10.0.0: Fri Jul 31 22:47:34 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1456.1.25~1/RELEASE_I386 Oct 25 14:41:45 localhost kernel[0]: vm_page_bootstrap: 3039896 free pages and 105832 wired pages Oct 25 14:41:45 localhost kernel[0]: standard timeslicing quantum is 10000 us Oct 25 14:41:45 localhost kernel[0]: mig_table_max_displ = 73 Oct 25 14:41:45 localhost kernel[0]: [sleepEnabler] Registering PowerManagement dispatch table...

Is it possible Windows patches did something to the 4870 bios? regards Steve PS I prefer SL to Windows 7, it is the nicest MS OS so far but installing printer drivers is a nightmare, my 9 year old printer isn't supported after much fiddling. In SL it was just plug and play. In windows I had awful trouble after installing gigabyte drivers for the EX58-UD5, Windows refused to boot after saying a patch was preventing booting, had to manually roll back all patches to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
