Subject: Re: black screen with 2.6.29 on new imac
Date: Mon, 06 Apr 2009 18:16:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49DA7F39.7090607@redhat.com> (raw)

The 2.6.27 kernel had problems remapping EFI runtime on apple. That was 
fixed in 2.6.29-rc8. The 2.6.27 kernel will not boot on this hardware, 
it was not an X related issue.

You might try nvidiafb instead of efifb driver and see if that makes a 
difference. Im not sure if the X problem is related to the kernel.  I 
have not tackled the X issues yet.
Hope it helps.

Brian
