MGJulius Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hey, Sounds like its a graphics card problem. Try reinstalling but with no graphics drivers and see where that gets you. Then you can install the drivers later.

Giblet Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 ok, in my install cd that works best and has best Kext support. (Leo4All v3) i got a kext for my HD3870 PCI-E so that shouldn't be the problem also there is a ./options command which gives you the option to uninstall videoKexts AFTER finished install i have tried this, still the problem remains though thanx for your response (and so fast) UPDATE: just installed it again with leo4all v3 samen problem (without video kexts) light blue screen with in top left corner mouse, thats turns in to the waiting cursor and i can move the cursor but see no menu or anything! just blue, and cursor Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/122768-problems-installing-osx-on-m2n32-sli-deluxe/#findComment-868867 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eid_ot_evil Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Bro, maybe if you try the iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5, it will work. It works for me, and I only get the blue screen when not running in safe mode (and I have no idea how to fix that, but anyway). I have the same motherboard as you have. Lan doesn't work, Wlan doesn't work, sound doesn't work, but everything else goes just smoothly.
