matemago Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 i have a problem booting leopard, it was working ok, but after updating itunes and quicktime, my leopard keeps rebooting, so when i tried verbose mode, i can see there is an error there, but it reboots inmediately. how can i stop the scrolling text? is there a log of this somewhere ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matemago Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 thanks for the fast answer, but my latest system.log is two days old... it doesnt seems to record what is failing. it doesnt allow me to boot either using -s ... i have a tiger installation running ok, is there another way? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mifki Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 if you have a serial port you can output the info to it using the debug flags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
