Hi Michael,
I have been playing with grub2-efi... first I run on a macbook pro 7,1, opensuse-factory, plymouth and systemd... in addition nvidia propetary driver I installed grub2-efi in the apple boot/efi partition... the prescribed way... generated my .efi file and then generated a nice grub.cfg file with the -mkconfig tool....
rebooted the machine, no magic needed, a new entry in the refit menu was there. I have boot into it... got the grub2 screen then I choose the opensuse boot... I got the plymouth screen and everything loaded correctly until the X.... There I got a black screen... I checked the xorg log (added in attach) and it showed me x crashed due to missing screens..
Any ideas?
Seems like nvidia driver's problem .. [ 49.373] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the display subsystem for the NVIDIA [ 49.373] (EE) NVIDIA(0): graphics device! [ 49.373] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to get supported display device(s) [ 49.373] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize dac HAL You can try running nvidia util (nvidia-xconfig?) to generate the config but I doubt that it would still fail. I am not xorg expert and my knowledge for uefi is weak so please consider my comments as JFYI .. :) It's possible that you disable pc bios emulation mode and runs in pure efi mode. The vbios interface for pc bios is no longer available and driver must use EFI defined protocol to communicate with uEFI firmware. This is completely new path for driver and might horribly broken due to it's not well tested .. Does nvidia driver ever work before in this environment? Regards, Michael
regards, Alin
