Well, trying to install 10.6 on my 2006 17″ Macbook Pro resulted in this black – well almost black screen. It seems that the backlight just didn’t want to come on, so using a flashlight to see what was on the screen, I was able to get things going (as I thumb this out). So after two upgrades, I suggest you backup, have a flashlight handy and disconnect everything (network, external drives etc) before running 10.6.
Update – after finding the cursor, I clicked continue and the system bumped along its merry way. The login screen was also all the way dark, but a quick tap of the brightness control fixed that for me. Everything seems hunk dory now… especially with Aperture and iMovie up and running much snappier than before.
