Hi - I have essentially the same machine and had no difficulty with the
install, but I booted and installed directly from the Install CD. I also
don't have a Cinema Display *sigh*. Do you have another monitor you could
try as a test? I seem to recall reading a while back that a kernel patch
was required for the Cinema Display. Something about the monitor going
into sleep mode at boot time if the patch wasn't applied.
