ToBeMac Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I have walked through Maldon's tutorial and everything went fine except that when i reboot to boot off the HDD after installation, and after the apple logo screen, i get another light grey desktop with the mouse cursor on the upper left corner and that's it, i can move the mouse and keyboard works too so it's not hanged. During boot in verbose mode, i noticed two lines indicating that login.playlist and another similar named file, can not be found, yet the boot continues till i get the light grey screen, so nothing critical happens while in verbose boot i think. Did anyone else encountered such a problem or even managed to install Lion on a sandybridge motherboard without too much headache? My desktop specs are in my sig.

TERESO Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi, I have the same problem. My temporary solution is to disconnect the mouse, and reconnect it to make the recognition of USB mouse. It works, but is very annoying.

ToBeMac Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 The problem appeared to be very common with ATI 6xxx series, especially 6950/6970. I managed to boot normally after deleting ATI6000Controller from S/L/E, then used the kexts from Netkas to have full QE/CI support (with some issues still). Hope that helps someone, ToBeMac Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/267758-lion-on-ga-p67a-ud3r-b3-or-similar-motherboards/#findComment-1749329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
