snelan Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hi guys, I just installed Lion over my SL partition to preserve Chimera which I need to boot into Lion, as using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Legacy makes the boot sequence just freeze. I don't mean get stuck after a certain point, it actually freezes in the middle of a read out. Anyway, so I have Lion over 10.6.8, and when I go through Chimera, with only the -v tag, it boots to a white screen with a cursor. I can move the cursor around, and if I do a lot of clicking it can go the the loading wheel. I am just pretty confused right now, I am repairing permissions/repairing disk right now and we'll see how it goes. Any help would be appreciated. ~Sean Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/263825-white-screencursor-after-boot-up-stuck-indefinitely/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

snelan Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 I tried all of em to no avail: -v -v -x -v -x -s (made it to single user) -v -x arch=x86_64 I even tried booting with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] again, it still just freezes. I have two 6950 Twin Frozr IIIs, a 2600k at 4.5Ghz, and a P67A-GD65 if it matters.

snelan Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Well, the install worked fine, it just needed GraphicsEnabler=No. It opened right up and was even at full res. That's why I'm worried though for booting into the Lion OS - it's at full res. I didn't delete the .bundle to get it to resolution switching yet, so shouldn't it still be at the 1024x768? I'm on a U2311H so the res is 1080p.
