Tried to update to Lion: couldn't do it.
Tried to update Snow Leopard so I could update to Lion: computer now kernel panics on boot.
Tried to reinstall Snow Leopard from DVD: turns out the disk drive is broken.
Tried to install a Linux distro from a USB key: turns out they're nearly impossible to boot on a Mac. Still haven't figured out how to do it.
This went well.

- joeskerbec 15y agoThis is why i cloned my drive to an external drive prior to the upgrade. Just in case.
- tedkalaw 15y agoI tried to install Lion after purchasing it from the App Store. It kernel panicked during install and then TRAPPED ME at the installer. Despite restarting, using disk utility, etc, I was stuck. I erased the partition and tried to install again. Kernel panic. I tried putting Lion on a USB drive. Again, kernel panic In my desperation I just kept running the installer over and over again and ONE TIME it worked. I was so pleased - until it kernel panicked on restart. Still, it's working now. It will kernel panic every now and then. When I look at the logs for the kernel panics, the last kext loaded almost always has to do with networking/WIFI. This seems to be a relatively common.

- marchdown 15y agoI have recently tried (yet again) to make some bootable USB keys on a mac. Turns out you have to convert iso to UDxx: $ hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o bootable.img bootable.iso && dd if=bootable.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m # Check the disk number with diskutil list! If it still won't boot, rEFIt (or Boot Camp, naturally) help with BIOS emulation.
