-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 No, I don't. I have never had a need, or even a use, for one. However, my comment on being more descriptive still stands regardless of whether I did or didn't have an Intel Mac. And it would allow whoever does actually help you to have something to work with. At first glance, sounds like a hardware driver issue, but by knowing nothing about you or your computer then that you have an intel mac that is hanging after boot, then no real help can be offered.
