Stuck on initial screen installing SL from usb HDD
« on: September 07, 2009, 10:24:09 AM »
Hi all
Relatively new to all of this. I have followed instructions to get my USB hdd to boot from my lenovo laptop. I am installing SL. The hardware see's the disk and boots to the chameleon screen letting me choose the partitions to boot from, including the usb hdd.

it proceed's to load Darwin, but the screen then goes grey and says to power down the computer... hold down power screen etc etc

Is this something anyone can give me some assistance diagnosing what is stopping the process moving forward.
I have an image of the SL install DVD on the USB HDD.

Cheers and thanks in advance.

When in the Chameleon boot screen, press the "down arrow" key, a menu will be shown, try reading the "Help".
