It boots but noting shows up

[H4xx0R]

When I boot Mac all I can see is a mouse and a blue bakground. It's just aften an install with vmware.

And when I start Mac with -v, no graphic shows up, screen: http://img107.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nr40tq.gif I think that the problems may be "display: family specific matching fails".

Here is another screen of what shows up when darwin has load http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nr58zc.gif

Is it better if I burn a cd and re-install it?

You could try that. What kind of video card do you have? The booting to blue screen is a common problem with intel video chips. Try plugging in an external monitor and booting again. If that works, and you need to use the system WITHOUT lugging a monitor around, take a piece of wire and short pins 2 and 12 on the vga connector, this will fool the system into thinking there's an external monitor. If you search for "wire trick" you'll find what I'm talking about (with pictures).

 

The problem (if this is indeed your problem) is that OSX sees the external monitor on these video cards as the primary display and won't boot if the primary doesn't give feedback about the type of monitor connected. The wire trick fools the system by making the video card think there's a monitor plugged in, but since it doesn't get any data from it, it defaults to some very basic values (640x480x60hz, etc). The secondary display (the lcd panel) will be used as the primary desktop, and you can set the resolution and refresh to whatever the panel supports (1280x800 for me).

 

Hope this helps.
