Black screen with white bar :(
« on: September 20, 2009, 02:07:46 AM »
Hey :)

I thought RC3 was the fix for this, since it worked after installing to my external USB SnowLeo install...

Now i wanted to try it for my internal SATA install, and again i am stuck with a black screen + white bar on top, no matter what boot flags i use.

any ideas?

Had same issue with this myself at one point. (went from v1 realease to RC3)

Ensure when you install you use:

diskutil eraseVolume "HFS+" "EFI" /dev/diskXs1 

the follow through on the rest of the partition writing commands to install. 

This was how *I* fixed it : the above, then went back to RC1, then stepped to RC2 then (after verified boot) switched to RC3.

Also, there have been some reports if you don't put your CHAM drive on SATA0 the bootloader will hiccup
