Hi, I am still having the problem on Imac 20′. I downloaded the BCUPDATE from apple.com but it just won’t execute
I’ve spent over 10 hours with no luck…it’s very
frustrating.

Thank you. This ended many frustrating attempts. Disabling Broadcom seems to have done the trick. I’m grateful.

Thanks for taking the time to write it up, certainly helped me, got wrapped up with an retail version of 10.5 rather than original media that came with the Book.

Paul/Chris’s amended instructions worked for me too, as the original boot disk was lost by previous user.

Disable Broadcom!

OMG! Far out. ME TOO. I was using the Retail OS X disk and getting the blue screens. Duh. Read this, found the disk that came with the MacBook Pro in question (thought that WAS the one… but not…) and it worked just fine. Sheesh.

Interestingly, the Apple forums are full of Apple staff saying, “Not our problem. Go ask Microsoft.” *sigh*

I now need to do win32 dev while travelling and so I’m putting bootcamp on my Early 2008 MBP – and I had this problem. My heart jumped into my throat at the prospect of troubleshooting a BSOD on win/mac.

But this post and Paul + Chris made the fix. Thanks guys, probably saved me a weekend or more.

I realize that everyone else has already said this, but thank you so much.
