Beatrice Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Restart the computer and press F8 as soon as the POST completes. You'll get the Darwin prompt, type -v for verbose startup. You will then see where things are getting stuck. Did you select any video drivers when you installed? If so, that may be where it's stalling. The only thing I selected to install was the intel package sse2 or whatever it's called, and the get info about this mac package that wouldn't crash. no extra fonts, printer drivers, or additional language support. Every time I tried to install the ati video drivers it would stall at startup exactly as you describe. the only solution I could come up with is to start all over from scratch......
