Acer AOD-150 SL Install/Reboot Fix

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For those of you who have the Install/Reboot issue w/ SL on an Acer AOD-150
as I did and numerous others while some peoples were fine, UPGRADE THE BIOS!

Go to the following website and get the BIOS Version 1.11 and it will
work... It did on mine Blue Acer AOD-150

One thing to note is that with this latest BIOS v1.11 if you ever need or want 
to re-install Mac OS X it will not 
work because the system continually crashes upon attempting to re-install. You 
must downgrade back to an 
earlier bios version to re-install successfully.

Which BIOS version have you been able to install under? I've tried 1.09 and 
1.11 but both get a KP in the Mac OS 
X Installer.

I tried originally on BIOS 1.05 and all went well until reboot where I saw the
desktop and cursor for a split second and then it rebooted. So I figured after 
a few
times of this, screw it and tried to update to 1.11 without touching SL at all. 
Put
my Win7 drive back in, updated to 1.11 BIOS and swapped back to my SL drive. 
Upon
boot, it went straight to the Chameleon screen and into the SL desktop and has 
been
working ever since on BIOS 1.11 and updated thru Software Update to 10.6.1 w/ no
issues at all. Hope This Helps!!!
