evopower Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Hi. I've got a little problem. After a successful install of Leopard(10.5.6) I reboot my pc and when I get to the darwin boot screen and type -v I see a few lines with text and then the screen just turns black. Nothing seems to happen. On boot, if I not type -v I get to the applelogo and then nothing happens. Does somebody know why it doensen't boot correctly? I used the IPC_OSx86_10.5.6 release. In this video, at the end of it that computer after boot and after he typed -v he got a lot of text, but i just get black screen.
