Foxic Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 It looks like a graphics issue. At this point the OS should be loading the desktop, if it's not going any further it means you are lacking graphics drivers.

Foxic Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Just by looking at the verbose boot. The next thing to happen should be the GUI loading but its obviously not doing that. Have you tried using the graphicsenabler flags for chameleon?
