sam_in_chicago Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I used the Lifehacker method to install SL onto a blank drive, and it went well. I installed iLife '09 and rebooted, and now it hangs at the grey Apple. My prior Leopard install used a patched DSDT, and I was able to enter commands during the boot sequence (verbose mode, flush cache, etc.) With the bootloader on the USB stick, I only have the option of picking which volume to start up. Any ideas on how to fix this? Or should I start over? Anything else? Motherboard = UD3P CPU = Q6600 Graphics = 9800GTX 512mb Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
