Mac OS X Leopard Black Screen of Death
What's this? The Mac OS X Black Screen of Death? I
unplugged my USB 2.0 external drive and got this on the screen.
For the last year using Tiger I never saw this screen.
Even more annoying is the
fact that Leopard doesn't recognized my USB 2.0 drive enclosure that I
used in Tiger. If it's a power management issue, please at
least give me the option of giving more power to USB even if my battery
won't last as long. BTW, I was not running on battery.
I'm wonder if Apple wants to sell their own external drives
so they've cranked the output of the USB ports down to eliminate many
devices. I would hope they wouldn't go this low but who
knows.

Has anyone else seen this problem? I
found a
similar
issue listed on the Apple site but it remains
unanswered.
I really would like to stick int out on the Mac but without Java 6 and
having to power the machine is worse than being on Windows. I
never thought I would say that.
