RobertX Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 ...well, just to finish, set igfx hd 530 to auto in bios so it no longer loads, restart now works...safe again for updates I hope... ...also had these boot arg for clover dart=0 alcid=1 agdpmod=pikera watchdog=0 -revsbvmm igfxagdc=0 -cdfon which worked for hd 530 ...changed to dart=0 alcid=1 agdpmod=pikera watchdog=0 which appears to work fine for the R9 ...and sleep and wake work as well 🦉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
