Hi Akbar.. if i do remember, the trunk was working fine for you!? What changed?... i'm suspecting about XCode4... What version is used on the booter you're using? This has nothing to do with "loading" the VBIOS; maybe it has to do with "reading" it? This error comes from get_romrevision_val; what's interesting is that's the first time i see this function actually retrieve a "decent" romrevision value (ATY,Card#: 42 52 34 30 34 34 33 2e 30 30 31 = BR40443.001).. it looks like loading a rom file makes it work properly!? Anyway, i don't get this allocation error, but can't load a rom file (one more to debug); this is with what i managed to merge from the old code into the new GE; ii can't use the trunks GE!! Check the XCode thing; try using a build with XCode3, if you're not doing it already...

hi azimutz. yap i build it with xcode4.1 also add hibernate patch that a guy post in issue section(the hibernate now work in lion)i will try with other xcode verion from build bot and report back. and other thing when i am get my video rom using everest its 61 kb i put it in extra folder and GE work without problem.but i read the hp manual and its say my video bios rom address ( 128 KB 000A0000-000BFFFF Video memory 48 KB 000C0000-000CBFFF Video BIOS) i read it using RW-everthing and the save the file(48 kb) when i replace the 61 kb with 48 kb video rom . agian the error that i posted came back

Azimutz what GE are you referring to when not on the trunk? Which one works for you, i'm very confused by this
Comment 8 by Azimutz, Aug 24, 2011
Cosmo, to put it simple; old code ( < r786) works with my legacy card (RV516), the new doesn't; it has none of the old support for legacy cards. That's the main reason why i keep the trunkGraphicsEnablerModules folder on my branch. On a day to day basis i use the module with the old code, but i'm also trying to merge the old with the new; it's to this last one that was mainly referring to; it's the closest i have to the new code, but it's not committed yet. More info on the topic ;) http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1959.0.html Akbar, the XCode 3.2 build is disabled on the bot; use the attached one if you need.

azimutz; i am test the package that you posted with xcode 3.2 its get me same error as before.i will test later the older package in buildbot to find the revision that error come with it.
Comment 10 by Azimutz, Aug 25, 2011
Well, i guess we can exclude XCode, i'm using 3.2.6. Try the package attached; i reverted the last ati.c changes i made on it. Makes no sense, but i have a faint idea of getting one of those allocation errors while trying to add some verbose...
Comment 12 by Cyrus The Great, Aug 25, 2011
i test it without the videorom gets the same error as before
Comment 13 by Azimutz, Aug 26, 2011
As far i can see and remember, there was no change on the GE code to cause this and my usual suspects are excluded... Any one else having this?
Comment 14 by Cyrus The Great, Aug 26, 2011
its seems that problem with rom size. GE accept the a range of size.its accept 62 kb and get error with 48 kb .
Comment 15 by Azimutz, Aug 26, 2011
There's no limit for rom size; there used to be on the old code, but it was a max limit. Rom's all show 66KB on my system; your's dumped from the ioreg 66 KB on disk (63,488 bytes). I saw you updated the rom; can that be the problem??
Comment 16 by Cyrus The Great, Aug 26, 2011
yes i am update my bios to latest version it update my videorom by i revert back it again to previous bios .for power menu. the other thing that i can mentioned .the video rom of some mobile card is locked and can not be reader by any soft(everst read it from shadow space)i extract one from the main bios update file .and chameleon work with it 61 kb. also its work with one that i extract with everest. my be bios reading problem!!
Comment 17 by Cyrus The Great, Aug 26, 2011
i found the problem it is with bollet theme .i change the theme to defualt and GE work with or without Video rom in extra folder.
Comment 18 by Azimutz, Aug 28, 2011
Yep, i can reproduce this, but NOT with my "closest to the trunk" stuff..??.. and i can't see the connection..??? As far as i can see, there's nothing wrong with the theme.
Comment 19 by Cyrus The Great, Aug 28, 2011
may be the problem is with size of boot logo .any way i test legacy theme and other one the only case that error occurred is bullet.
Comment 20 by Azimutz, Aug 28, 2011
Boot logo is not loaded at the time of the error; it's one of the last things to be loaded before passing control to the kernel and only if booting without -v. Let's give some time to this. I will accept the issue and change the summary accordingly.
Summary:
GE allocation error, when using Bullet theme
