I own a MacBook Pro and lately I wanted to upgrade my MacOS Leopard to Snow Leopard. My MacBook Pro had three partition:

1. Leopard
2. Linux
3. Linux Swap

Unfortunately Snow Leopard complained during installation that it couldn't find a partition to install the OS. Therefore I thought this might be connected with my partitions of the hard disk. After a complete backup of all my files on the Linux partition I deleted both Linux partitions and resized the hard disk with GParted so that there was only a single partition. Then I restored my data by using Time Machine. First Time Machine couldn't find the partition because I had chosen another name than the one used during backup with Time Machine. I changed the name back to the previous one and Time Machine restored my data without any problems.

Now Snow Leopard could be installed but after rebooting I ran into a new problem. I pressed Apple-V during boot up and my computer got frozen after this line:

I couldn't find a solution in the web so I just tried to reinstall Snow Leopard. After the second installation the problem was gone and since then I haven't had troubles anymore.

Maybe I had a pending update in the installation queue and therefore my system was messed up? We will never know ... ;-)
