Comment (by rudolfc):

 IF this still is actual, please remove the G86 card and see if the systems
 boots up normally, with driver, then.

 If your G86 is the primary card as seen by the computer hardware (initial
 screen is there, BIOS and such), then the other card is not coldstarted by
 it's BIOS.

 This will probably why things go wrong: the Nvidia driver (only) sees this
 other card which it supports and tries to use it. Since it
 wasnt'coldstarted, it will remain black.

 Unless coldstarting is supported by the nVidia driver for that specific
 card. This you can test by enabling coldstarting the cards by the driver
 (it's a driver option in nv.settings).

 If you run with DVI or HDMI output chances are you are in bad luck, as
 there's no good enough info available to coldstart these connections.
 Analog (VGA) style connected screens have a bigger chance of being able to
 being coldstarted..

 Please update the info here if possible.
 Otherwise I think it's safe to close this ticket as there is no (big)
 chance we will be able to fix this. (We could create a driver for that
 other card though, but still then there's the chance the 'wrong' card gets
 inited... Though for selection I also have a nv.settins item I think I
 remember).

 Bye!

 Rudolf.
