I'm pre-noob on Mac so I'm sure it's something I did. What I think happened has something to do with the process of creating the boot image on the flash drive. I am not sure what the Boot.ini options are for on the Mac. I realize what they're for on Windows, but the install is going to a laptop that has nothing on it, so there shouldn't need to be a boot.ini generated. I've created the flash drive with and without the boot.ini options as well as the other options, and here is the consistent log I get from the ddmac tool. "Do not dump image to driver Change partition type to AF: not a HFS partition Load boot1h: not a HFS partition Load startupfile: not a HFS partition All done, have fun!" I closed the tool before I could capture the log when it created the flash drive image, but I know that created successfully, or at least it said it did, but all the other options were the same as the log above. I don't believe the partition is supposed to be an HFS partition as outlined in these directions. As stated above, I formatted the flash drive as a fat32 file system. Anyone know what I'm missing here? I can't even hit f8 because it goes straight to the HFS+ Partition Error immediately.

I wasn't able to take a screen shot, but I did snap a picture with my phone (http://www.flickr.com/photos/10606758@N06/3601651912/). After a bit more experimenting, I discovered that I could boot into Safe Mode, and the screen is fine and I can use the 1024 x 600 resolution. Rebooting into normal mode, however, gives me the same garbled screen. pf Jason,

I installed 10.5.5 from the DVD, and then I used the 10.5.7 Combo Updater to upgrade the system to 10.5.7. I installed the WiFi and graphics kexts and rebooted the S10. On reboot, I had the garbled screen. I'm planning to reinstall 10.5.5 and use the 10.5.6 Combo Updater to see if I get different results. I have the same problem.
