dbarrett5381 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) Hi there, I am new here and I have been searching for the answer to my problem using things like "Grey Screen" etc. I have found a few posts that relate to my problems but they are old and I am wondering if patches for these things are included in the newest releases or if I still need to apply them. One thing I found was that this can be caused by a PS2 keyboard, (which is what I have). Does this still pertain? I also did not know about booting with the -v option until I was searching regarding my issue. I will try this tonight and see if I can post an error message. In the meantime I will post my hardware configuration and see if anyone knows if something there might be causing the problem. I used CPUZ ID to get the info: Intel Celeron D 356 SSE3 Processor Socket 775 LGA, ECS Motherboard, ATI RS/400/RC400/RC410 Chipset, ATI Express 1100 graphics card, RTL8139/810X NIC, I forgot to write down my sound card, but I think that it is a Realtek sound card of some sort. I installed with the options for ati video card drivers and printer drivers and the intel option. I saw an option during install for X11 but I didn't know what that was, so I didn't install it. Was I supposed to use the X11 option? The kernel is 8.8.1 if that matters. Does anyone see hardware that isn't compatible? Also I installed last night and it took about 3 hours for the install to complete from my DVD. Is this normal? Thanks for the help. EDIT: O.k. after some more searching I think that I may have formatted the drive wrong. I first formatted using FAT32 and then reformatted the whole drive as MacOS extended Journaled. After some reading, I think I am only supposed to format the large partition with the MacOS file system. That could be one of my problems. I will retry tonight, does anyone know a faster way to get the install done? It took 3 hours for my first install to complete.
