Bug#637284: Can't install wheezy on a 2011 iMac
Hi Jonathan,

I added "single" and removed "quiet". The boot then proceeded till I got a
flashing line at the top of the screen saying
lp: driver loaded but no devices found
alternating very rapidly with another line I couldn't read. No further
progress.
Maybe scroll lock can stop it.
Ummm... Mac keyboards don't have scroll lock!

Then I rebooted and this time left "quiet" there. The boot proceeded till
it said
GNOME display manager loading
I assume there was no "single" this time? (gdm should not be getting
loaded in single-user mode.)
Yes, single WAS there!! Let me double-check...
yes, what I said was what happened. Both single and quiet were there.
The actual line printed was
Starting GNOME Display Manager: gdm3
Then there were a couple of lines that flashed on and off very quickly
-- I saw the words "bluetooth" and "daemon" there. Then a blank screen
with flashing cursor.
Any bright ideas?
Cheers, Mike.
