I've learned that while updating to use the boot flag debug=0x100 so I can see what caused that and keep it from happening in the future.

Sorry to hear about the freeze. Sometimes "gremlins" just happen.

Retail is WAY sexier! And way easier when you use a method that all the "fixes" are always in the EFI partition so even if I have to erase and redo an installation... its all ready for me. Gotta give it up for munky's EFI-mod method.

I'm going to retail install on my intel laptop, then make a time machine backup and restore it to my desktop. Then I'll use munky's method

So basically EFI is considered retail an no-efi is a patched system if I understand correctly?

The only thing holding me back from a completely retail system is lack of a video card and burning capability. Probably gonna pick those two up next month when the holidays are over. Lack of QE/CI prevents me from loading Toast anyways.

It's an onboard card. I've had everything working in 10.5.4 and 10.5.6 except for resolution.

Gonna try some EFI strings and NVinstaller next. Macvidia just doesn't work in 10.5.4>
