Tekel Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Install went great... after reboot and i attempt to boot from that partition it hangs. It generally hangs at "Couldn't read user-specified local hostname; using default bMacintosh-001A9243FG72.locallb instead." and all hd activity stops 1 time I turned away and looked back only to see my entire screen covered with vertical white lines about 3 pixels wide.

Tekel Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Tried reformatting for a 3rd time. Again locks up. this time at a different location. But this time right before lockup the screen flashed up a blue that to me looked like the blue of the login screen for OSX but then instantly went back to screen with just info text on what it is loading and such... Anyone have any clues??? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
