I've got the ISO of iPC 10.5.6 burned onto a dvd and when i boot it up and do the -v, i get all the white text, and finally a blue screen for 5 seconds, but it turns into a black screen. the computer stays on, but I cant get past this and get into the installation.

Dell inspiron 1525 Duo Core 2 GHZ

sounds like a graphics issue. do you have external or integrated video card? if you have a second video out port on your comp, try plugging your monitor into that other port.

Thanks for the reply. I have an integrated video card: GM965 by Intel. I've seen people with this specific card have it work.

doesnt look like the external monitor helped.. :\

are there gm965 drivers on the DVD in the customize screen of the install? look here: http://www.insanelym...howtopic=170138 someone described the same issue:)

That's the thing, I dont even get to the install. I boot up the DVD, press f8, boot in -v, and get the black screen after the scrolling white text. Cant even get to installation,.
