can't install 4.0 or snapshots on my macbook due to what appear to be

does anyone have any ideas about how to capture the dmesg so i can
submit?
thanks,

sounds like a similar pb i had on an hp omnibook - you can't get the
installer to complete to get a dmesg, & maybe you don't have a suitable
serial cable or port to capture it otherwise. i'm not sure about the
lights & loss of input, maybe that's a different problem. but you can
try the following in either case: make a new boot cd with an additional
file, as follows, based on 4.0 release or a -current:
file:///etc/boot.conf
set timeout 5
boot -c
this will drop you into the ukc before the device probing starts, so you
can try & try again disabling various things, such as :
verbose
disable uhci*
disable ehci*
disable ohci*
disable usb*
this got me to a working state & then i could fine-tune adding them back
in until things were usable again.
