I was using meklort's buildbot as a reference for the builds, he said the build failed only because he was messing with buildbot, so I will grab the others from SVN and compile again. Note: I didn't use any precompiled binaries from buildbot I was just referencing the waterfall view.

Tested 1214 and 1216 - both have the same problem as 1217-1220 - can't boot due to other bug introduced by mozodojo in 1214 and fixed by meklort with a reversion in 1221. So the most I can narrow it down is at some point between 1203 and 1221.

Ok so meklort told me what was causing builds 1214-1220 to not boot. line 630 in boot.c strcpy(bootFileSpec, bootFile); so I replaced that with: strcpy(bootFileSpec, bootInfo->bootFile); And tested them. Got it narrowed down to a single commit now. 1220 = broken (white bar) 1219 = works 1217 = works 1214 = works

So... based on http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/source/commit/1220/ I reverted those changes to drivers.c on build 1394. And the system now boots normally without a VESA graphics mode defined in the Boot.plist.

Not fixed. Revision 1406 has same problems as 1220-1405 even though the code was changed.

1407 boots as would be expected with -v boot flag, without flags however there is a minor problem still. The apple logo will appear in top left corner of screen, the rest of the screen is blank (black) and no spinner is visible. If patient though it will boot still.

Confirm, 1485 --> Apple logo still appears in top left corner of screen, the rest of the screen is blank (black) and no spinner is visible. It will boot however. WTF?

With empty Graphics Mode ("Graphics Mode"="" @boot prompt or in a *Boot.plist).
Comment 12 by Scott M, Feb 23, 2012
The original issue is resolved, but the issue with apple logo in top left corner of screen & rest of screen blank is still a problem with r1827. It seems to only happen on some graphics cards - I only see it on my system running an HD6870. It is purely a cosmetic issue though, boot process continues normally since r1407+.
