Hey all

 

I have a perfectly working Snow Leopard system (10.6.8) here and thus I purchased Lion via the app store and installed it clean to another drive via USB, all went well and Lion booted fine. I then ran the migration assistant within Lion to migrate everything from my Snow install to Lion, which completed successfully. However upon restart Lion never seems to complete the boot process. Booting with -v shows that everything loaded fine, however at the point when it should be going into graphics mode and brining up the login screen instead it simply sits there. The hard drive is still going however, so something must be happening. I left it for ages but still no progress, so eventually booted back into Snow to write this up. Anyone have any ideas? I read on another forum that others were having similar issues after migration, but I can't find any particular topics relating to it on the forums.. Could someone point me to a few?

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.
