I'm running a clean Lion install. When GraphicsEnabler is enabled, it panics right before it would go from verbose boot output to the gray apple screen. Usually, this immediately follows "DSMOS has arrived", but occasionally other lines will follow it that usually appear first.
Strangely, my SL install of Chimera, which I used to boot the installer and Lion for setup, booted Lion just fine with GraphicsEnabler, even enabling my card, full res and everything – until I ran MultiBeast on Lion, at which time it failed to boot Lion with GraphicsEnabler.
This strange (to me) set of circumstances has been consistent through close to a dozen install processes, in which I tried every boot option and MultiBeast config I could think of. I tried both EasyBeast and UserDSDT, upgraded my BIOS (and DSDT), fiddled around with various NVIDIA drivers and enablers. At one point I "broke" my graphics so that Lion would boot with GraphicsEnabler but would not enable my card.
I've been trying to get this working for days. Everything else works – network, sound, etc. – but not video. I even tried mucking around with EFI strings, to no effect, just to try to sidestep the GraphicsEnabler issue, but I know that it should be able to run fine with GE; I've been running Snow Leopard for months without problems.
Does anyone have any ideas or insight into what the problem might be? I'm more than willing to try things out, but I've run out of ideas myself.
