Hello all,
I've been given a laptop (Macbook Pro 17") which would be a great clunker to sit in a corner of my workshop for the occasional use. However, when I tried to boot the -13.5 or -14.2 installer from a memory stick, the boot seems to get stuck after the boot menu screen.
On -13.5, my results are the same as the person in this thread. On -14.3, my results are as show here:
Yes, I have tried all three settings of copy_staging (enabled, disabled, auto) on -14.2.
The loader prompt (OK) says that this laptop does not have GOP (Generic Output Protocol) nor does it have UGA (Universal Graphics Adapter). I wonder if it is actually booted, but I can't see anything due to a missing console. I do have a firewire cable on the way and will be trying dcons/dconschat as soon as that arrives.
Has anyone been successful in getting one of these old beasts to run with -14.x?
