my first post! wheee!
i wish it was a happier one:
i'm having a problem i'm not seeing mentioned anywhere quite the way i'm experiencing it. i downloaded the files and created an 8.0.4 install CD (AMD 64-bit). i followed the instructions
here to install on my 3.0 GHz dual quad Mac Pro (the April '07 version with the 667 MHz RAM). all goes just peachy, including booting from the LiveCD - i have full functionality, if you don't count Ubuntu being unable to see my Broadcom wireless card. so i say, "oh this is so cool (and maybe the actual install will be able to see my wireless card)" and proceed with the install, which also goes just as it should. when the install's complete i take out the CD, close the tray and restart, and choose the cute iddle penguin in rEFIt.
alas, i only get to the black screen with the little white cursor blinking in the upper left. once there, that's where i stay until i force a shutdown with the power button on the front of my machine (ugh).
i've tried this twice with no luck. anybody got any suggestions?
many thanks in advance...
