I am having trouble monitoring the Kernel on an eMachines®/Acer® EL1210-09 (Advanced Micro Devices® Athlon64® LE-1620, nVIDIA® nForce® 785 MCP; 4 GiB DDR2-533 main memory) modified for projection duty with a Shuttle® PC6300001 power supply and msi® N610GT-MD1GD3/LP display adapter (810 MHz nVIDIA® GF119, 1 GiB DDR3-1334 video memory). Graphically, the N610GT will be primary, driving two 1080p loads upon installation (Display 1 via DVI-D, Display 2 via HDMI).
I have deliberately reduced the memory available to the planar nVIDIA® C77 GPU to 64 MiB (leaving 3.9375 GiB available for main), as I need it (along with an older XGA display unit) to substitute for the remote terminal I would normally use; apparently not too many customers of Acer Computer specified the serial-port option in the EL1210, although the DA078L planar is prepared for a serial port (pinout for DE-9 consistent with an EIA-571 hookup adjacent to the DE-15 for the VGA/XGA output). Although I have some experience setting the graphic boot to Debug with a single GPU in GNU Grand Unified Bootloader, so far my attempts to engage it on the EL1210 have resulted in KSOD's; the install requires tweaking BIOS settings to install Ubuntu® 16.01a2 with the Primary Display in BIOS set to PCIEx (for the GP119) for installation and upgrade, before setting Primary in BIOS to Onboard (for the C77) for what should be normal operation. Any help debugging procedures would be appreciated.
