Thanks for your initial analysis.

I've attached the new compressed log file (using the -v option).

Thanks again for your help.

Next, I'd like to try swapping the two memory modules for ones from a TMU to see if that makes a difference. Would that make sense?

It's also worth mentioning that I received the card with a "defective" FBI chip. The chip had bent and broken pins. I soldered in a new chip (new old stock).

I've also checked the solder joints on the FBI chip for loose connections or solder bridges. I've also checked and resoldered the connections on the memory chips.

Attached are pictures of the card with defective pins and a picture with a new FBI chip.

I've noticed something in Witchery log :

Checking I2C bus on GPIO...
I2C bus disabled: no pull-up on GPIO detected!

I supposed it's not an error, since my Voodoo2 works perfectly. And I've seen this in other logs here too.
Do some V2 have i2c ?
Why this message ?
Not important, just curious 😀
My idea is maybe for some cards with tv-out, but it's just a guess.
