10.7.2 on AMD, sometimes needs to boot safemode

I successfully installed OS X Lion 10.7.2 on this AMD machine (Phenom II 965, Radeon HD5870, 8GB RAM), but I've found a little problem.

I have sometimes to boot to the safemode, then restart and it works normally.

When booting with -v, it hangs after "**Device in slot: :SLOT 1**", which is the last text I can see before graphics pop up.

But sometimes it just hangs there.

 

I found out that when I force reboot or shutdown by holding power button, the problem just goes away.

With normal shutdown, I have always boot to safe mode next, when shutting down from safemode, it just hangs up with gray/white screen.

So I think the problem happens on the shutdown. Is there any way to see what happens on the shutdown, because it's something that requires safemode boot on the next time... :/

If I may ask: How did you got it to work on AMD?

 

I had Snow Leopard (10.6.8) running on this machine, then I just installed iAtkos L2 on other partition while Snow Leo was still running, then just replaced the kernel and added few kexts.

After that, booted to Lion and it worked :)
