Apple acknowledges Leopard boot problems (blue screen), echoes fixes
Apple has acknowledged an issue we first reported mid-afternoon on Friday, where users experience an inability to properly startup after installing Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). This issue is typified by a successful installation, but a persistent blue screen on the subsequent restart, requiring a forced shut down.
Knowledge Base article #306857 states:
"After completing an upgrade installation of Leopard and restarting the computer, a 'blue screen' may appear for an extended period of time."
Apple notes the same two fixes we posted in our report Friday: Reinstalling Leopard using the Archive and Install or Erase and Install option or using a series of Terminal commands to remove Unsanity's APE framework and associated modules.

>>...he has no third-party apps...
Wow...I couldn't imagine my 17" MacBok Pro without having several third-party enhancements and utilities on it...
Maybe I should re-think Leopard. I successfully installed it on an external Firewire drive last Friday, waiting to see how others more brave than I fared with the upgrade.

Wifi fine, VPN to Nortel actually better. fast and no startup problems. Only Growl for Mail got dumped.
Orange Business Everywhere/Cingular Express Card Modem works fine too, no driver errors as yet. Screen sharing to a Tiger machine also works great.

What intrigues me is the fact that the writer says the sharing was done with a Tiger machine. I thought the new screen sharing feature only worked between Leopard computers.

- I did a basic upgrade of my system with all my Unsanity stuff intact and it's been working fine. I found from the Unsanity web site that their latest software was built to automatically deactivate itself when a system was upgraded to Leopard. I realize the risk involved in any third party stuff but I always keep a good back up and always keep my third party system enhancements up to date. I also know that if there are problems it's not Apple's fault which is why I air my concerns with the third party involved. So far Unsanity has been very good to me so I have no complaints.
