bbz_Ghost, Just my $0.02... Bronxteck has a good thought on the BIOS. Maybe restore to the original Dell BIOS and try again. Otherwise, are you sure it's up and alive? Can you ssh into it from another machine after the screen goes black? Sometimes I have to ssh into a failed install to get a clean reboot. Also, are you running arch=i386? I'm still running Snow Leopard on my boxen but I'm sure there will come a day soon that I _have_ to upgrade. QE/CI is imperative to me, though (FCP and After Effects). I may actually go find an NVidia D630/830 for just this reason. Keep plugging and keep us posted. Mark
