Funky (corrupted?) Boot w/ 2011 MBP

[Thunder82]

My apologies if this has been discussed a million times already, but my 2011 2.2Ghz 15" MBP does some funky things while booting. This only happens while booting Lion, (DP2-4) I have never seen it on Snow Leopard. Here is a picture of what my screen looks like while booting, has anyone else seen this?

By "Funky" do you mean "Disco"?

When I saw the word and then the picture, that's what came to mind.

Joking aside, I have yet to see this. Though what I have heard is that 2011 MBP's do NOT like Lion. Perhaps they're gazelle or antelope based machines?

From what I've heard, you're lucky to even have it running.

Yes, your issue is a known issue and one of the more active threads on Lion forum. Many can't even boot up fully, so consider yourself lucky. And if possible, I wouldn't reboot if I were you. My MBP was working fine upon initial upgrade. Did a reboot and it's toast now.

Yeah - mine does the same thing but hasn't failed to boot yet.
