Re: black screen with 2.6.29 on new imac

The 2.6.27 kernel had problems remapping EFI runtime on apple. That was fixed in 2.6.29-rc8. The 2.6.27 kernel will not boot on this hardware, it was not an X related issue.

You might try nvidiafb instead of efifb driver and see if that makes a difference. Im not sure if the X problem is related to the kernel. I have not tackled the X issues yet.
Hope it helps.
