nWm_CZ Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi, I also have IP35 Pro with latest BIOS ( more then 2 years old, abit stopped manufacturing motherboards ) I think problem is with Mac file system, BIOS can't recognize it... Windows 7 installation from USB stick is fine. I don't have time, I hope you find solution soon Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/266140-lion-system-freezes-with-lion-usb-drive-abit-ip35-pro-ati-radeon-3780/#findComment-1738971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibishin Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Check out this thread here: http://reboot.pro/8122/ The original poster alludes to a possible BIOS bug with grub/grub4dos code in the MBR of a USB stick. I've experienced the same problem just this weekend while trying to load FreeBSD on my ABit IP35 Pro, and was able to consistently reproduce it by putting grub/grub4dos directly in the MBR of any USB stick. If you can, try chainloading from syslinux or another boot loader to work around the issue.
