Just tried to install Leopard and got to the end only to get what can only be described as a blue screen of nothing, just a cursor, nothing else. :(

Checked the permissions, and disk repaired it then repeated the install and got the same again.

In the end decided to to do a clean and archive install, which has worked :)

Just got to move all my documents and apps across from the previous system now.
 
So much for "things just work" with Apple, looks like they will be busy over the weekend sorting out updates for it.

I bet someones gonna be getting a ticking off over this!!
I wonder how much testing they did with leopard, its not like they had to test it on a massive range of systems.

I'm sure a lot of testing was done. Upgrades are a funny bag due to the amount of difference from one machine to another. It is impossible to cater for every software application and setting.

I wonder if MS have patented the BSOD hehe. :D. Waits for MS to sue Apple. :p
 
Only problem I had was when I installed it on an iMac G5.

The keyboard would constantly repeat a "0" until I changed the speed in the system preferences.. I suspect a software update would fix it.
 
Did my MacBook pro last night and this happened again, must be a program i had installed on both maybe.

Argh well, probably for the best i reformatted the whole thing.

Runs schweet!

I think it is pretty much confirmed this is to do with Application Enhancer as I did a fresh install of Leopard. Once the install finished I installed Application Enhancer, rebooted and got the dreaded blue screen.

I did an archive and install (before the workaround was posted) and everything is back to normal.

Fresh install on my Mini went without a hitch.

Yeah, i had clear dock on both so it may of well have been that!

same here with APE - I just installed it again and it wouldn't boot. ran the following commands and it's working fine now:

Code: 
Reboot into single-user mode (hold Command-S while booting)
Remove the following files by typing each line below:
rm -rf /Library/Preference Panes/Application\ Enhancer.prefpane
rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/Application\ Enhancer.framework
rm -rf /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/Application Enhancer.bundle
rm -rf /Library/Preferences/com.unsanity.ape.plist
Exit, to continue booting normally, type:
exit
 
Had APE installed, did an archive and install and its working fine. just deleted the old system files. runs as sweet as a nut now. :)

I take my complaint back.. the 0 key was jammed down! LOL

Running smooth as silk on my bro's iMac G5 :)
