ADoNuT333 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have a Toshiba A215-7422 and everytime I try to boot from the DVD it always ends up with mouse cursor on a blue screen. I can move the cursor but I have left the computer at this screen for 12 hours and it still did not load anything else. Any ideas?

ADoNuT333 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 I did, I choice a diff graphics driver and it worked. Anyone else have this problem and solve it by replacing the graphics drivers? I'm not sure if the same thing will happen for ATI since you had nvidia Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96142-leopard-dvd-installer-hangs-at-blue-screen-with-mouse/#findComment-690663 Share on other sites More sharing options...

insomnimac Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 which distro? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96142-leopard-dvd-installer-hangs-at-blue-screen-with-mouse/#findComment-712988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADoNuT333 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Leo4All. So far it is the only one to make it past the "waiting for root device" issue. What is hard to figure out is why after it finds and mounts the hard disks it loads to the blue screen right before the "Language Select" window.

keypox Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 you try this? If you got a blue screen after rebooting the system, start whit "-s"mode, then type "mount -uw /"->, type "passwd root"->, type your root password and the last command "touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone". type "exit" and continue installation. You will log as root. Then go to System Preferences and create a new account. it worked for me.

ADoNuT333 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 I don't think this applies to booting off of the dvd. I think that might only work after you install it, or do I misunderstand what you mean?
