iExchange Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hello, I have installed Lion on my PC and after a restart, at the volume choosing screen of course I selected my Lion partition, so after that here comes the white apple logo screen. I have waited for 5 mins and it still sits there(the round spinning thing under the apple logo did not even appear), the indicator light on my PC is flashing though. Can anyone please help solve this problem? I really need this for my work. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iExchange Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hello, I have tried -v and it ended up stuck at the "PCI configuration begin" message in the "command line" thing, however when I was installing lion(booting from my lion USB), i actually successfully passed thru the PCI config begin message. Also I have tried -x too, and the result is - also stuck at apple logo without the spinning thing under it. Please help, thanks tons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will not see the spinning wheel (busy) under it after it passed thru the "PCI config begin"; you just have to watch your HD disk activity LED as it continues to boot OS X Lion. If you don't have the HD disk activity LED lit, then you have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iExchange Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 You will not see the spinning wheel (busy) under it after it passed thru the "PCI config begin"; you just have to watch your HD disk activity LED as it continues to boot OS X Lion. If you don't have the HD disk activity LED lit, then you have a problem. It was blinking frequently and sometimes not blinking, then sometimes it light up solidly for a few secs, now that I hv waited for five minutes and it stopped blinking. I'm still at the pci config begin. How can I identify the problem? I'm quite worried, please continue giving your helping hands, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
