Research direction

The payload names no source files or tests. Start by searching the repository for the log string "Bar1" or "NVRM" to find where the BAR setup message is emitted, then read the code around it. Done means a maintainer-confirmed explanation of what that step does during boot, and a concrete change only if the thread settles on one. Expect kernel-driver and macOS boot knowledge to be needed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug
Send logs report ID

No log required. Is generic.

Where does it go wrong?

Booting macOS after the driver (black / grey screen, restarts)

What happens

Wonder what happens here. Is it a safety check in the code or something? Realistically as soon as BAR is placed the login should be shown no?
