The Install and Post continues... Leopard is installed! I think I'll take a breather before retrying to install Snow Leopard.
Don't I get a cookie?

I still haven't put snow leopard on any of my machines. I do have someone running Leopard installs and updates on two new MacPro Towers and on two new Mac Minis right now though. Actually I'll have to check, the Minis might have shipped with Snow Leopard.

ND, do you know if Snow Leopard will run Qlab?

Uggh. Well, I tried to install Snow Leopard again and the same thing happened as before: It starts to install fine, but at a certain point, the progress screen disappears (it may have rebooted at this point -- I was away from the puter for a couple of minutes when this happened) and in its place I see the small round rotating thingie. After a minute or two of this, the screen goes blank. I'll leave it running for a couple of hours just to see what, if anything happens.
I suppose the DVD may be defective and I should try to exchange it?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There is a reboot in the middle of the Snow Leopard install process.

From everything I've been reading Qlab runs fine under Snow Leopard. I'm actually configuring a bunch of Qlab machines right now but I'm playing it save and leaving them on Leopard.

Good to know. But should it be sitting with a blank screen for an hour after it starts to reboot?

No. Maybe Snow Leopard is having a little difficulty recognizing your TV?

OK, funny thing. I rebooted again with my finger on the keyboard eject key to get the DVD out. After it popped out I switched over to the TiVO 'cause C wanted to watch something. An hour or two later, when the TV was free, I switched it back over to the Mac and lo and behold, there was the login screen! Sure enough, 10.6 had been installed and was working!
All was well, I installed some other updates, everything's groovy. Then I took a look at the display resolution options. "Oooooh -- there's 1080p. I don't remember seeing that before. Let me try switching to that one."
Screen goes blank.
How do I change it back? I tried rebooting to no avail. I assume there's some sort of "safe mode" where I can change the display back to where it was?
