*sorry for my english*

Steps to try:
On start up press and hold the shift key.
If that is unsuccessful then put install disk 1 in your machine and start up holding down the C on your KB
Once there select utilities from the menu and press disk utility and then press verify disk permissions and verify disk if there are any repairs needed then press repair.
Let us know what happens

How long does it take your mid 2010 iMac to boot after shutdown?

My imac has suddenly become alot slower upon boot up and i actually just bought this computer a few days ago. it's taking about 30+ seconds to boot up after a shutdown is that normal?

If you had a black out you may have damaged the machine if it wasn't hooked up to a battery backup. I would recommend you contact AppleCare (the number is in your owners manual) and see if they can help. One thing I would strongly advise is investing in a decent battery backup system, this will help with power surges and if you are in front of the computer when you have a black out provide enough battery power to do an orderly shutdown. If you get one that connects via USB to your computer you can also set some preferences such as what to do when the power comes back on.

Immediate boot after shutdown on 845pe max2

Got my brand new PC with a MSI 845PE MAX2 mainboard (MS-6704) in an AOPEN casing. Problem: if i select shutdown in WinXPpro the machine shuts down (even power-led is off). And then immediately it boots/starts again.
What could this be? I already removed all unnecessary cards, network connection, modem, second HDU, unplugged all USB devices. Turned off APM in the BIOS setting. Changed to an older type keyboard and mouse. Still same problem. All lastest drivers installed, lates BIOS (AMI 1.2) installed. All Xp service packs extra patches are installed.
Any suggestions? Switchg from S3 to S1 mode in ACPI standbystate doesnt make any difference. Turning off ACPI is a bad idea, as the machine wont boot XP anymore.
Pressing the on/off button the machine shuts down as expected and doesnt turn itself on anymore. Where can i find more info on the S1, S3 modes etc?

Indeed it was a faulty powersupply. I tried with a Qtec 400W and that one works perfectly. So thank you Assaf for the suggestion. I already tries all i could find in all newsgroups, just this was my last resort. Now to convince my supplier to get me a decent (quiet) powersupply!

I suggest you try another power supply.

Cant boot after upgrade with conflicts

hi
always when i install arch and do:
pacman -Syu
i have error:
failed to comit transaction (conflicting files)
without that upgrade i cant install desktop manager so i try:
pacman -Syuf
pacman -Sc
pacman -Syu
and it finish upgrade without errors but when i reboot it want boot:
Unable to find root device /dev/sda10
You are beign dropped to a recovery shell
and my keyboard doesnt work too, only i can i reinstall Arch and when i do that i have same problem next time with conflicting files.
i try many linux distros, gentoo, slackware and every of them works great only arch have stupit conflictioning, is this a bug ?
what can i do ?
thanx

For an explanation about those conflicting file errors (and how to fix them), take a look here.
As for the "unable to find root device" error, you probably borked something by running "pacman -Syuf" (never use the -f flag for a generic update). Take a look here at how to fix that.

Equium A300D-16C. not booting after shutdown.

Please, this is a problem i seem not to understand. I have been using my Equium A300d-16c laptop without no problem for over a year until yesterday's evening. i was installing a software(nokia PC suite) which prompted for a restart. the shutting down was normal and for it to restart was a problem. it displays nothing but a blank screen. It is evident it does not boot as when i press the power button it goes of immediately. Only the power indicator is on. Another thing i notice is that the DVD-ROM reads any disc put inside but there is no display of any sort.
My first reaction was that it may be overheating, so i cleaned the cooling vents and blew away dusts from all compartments. but still the problem persists. Please i seek to know what may be the problem before taking it to for repairs. Help Needed. Thanks.

Thanks. There is nothing displayed on the screen. it does not seem to boot into anything, as the powere goes off immediately when the power button is pressed. I have tried to change the ram modules, but still the same problem. i dont know what kind of hardware failure could cause this as it was working fine untill the shutdown. Thanks for the concern.

Cant boot after installing

I installed Arch in my laptop from usb following the beginners guide
Used GPT partitioning and my current disk structure is :
1007K free space
sda1 100M Win
sda2 54G Win ( windows 7 )
sda3 3G swap
sda4 16.3G arch ( /mnt)
sda5 38.4G home (/mnt/home)
on running
# grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda
i get the output :
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning : this GPT partition label contains no BIOS boot Partition; embedding wont be possible
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning : Embedding id not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error : will not proceed with blocklists
so i ran
# grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --force /dev/sda
i got the same warning but no error
finally
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
i got the output :
Found Linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-linux
Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs--linux.img
Warning: Failed to connect to lvmetad: No such file or directory. Falling back to internal scanning.
No volume groups found
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
done
exited the chroot, unmounted the disks and rebooted
on reboot i get
GRUB <blinking cursor>
what should i do now??

Your setup doesn't respect the preliminary requirements for GRUB2 on GPT (lack of bios boot partition)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gr … structions
I tried syslinux earlier but then i got just a blinking cursor after rebooting
so is there any way for me to salvage the installations ?
[edit] I forgot to mention the 1007k free space at the start ( i have edited the original post)

Are you using any lvm volumes?
No I did not set up any logical volume

K8N Neo4 initial boot after shutdown lockup problem

First, I would like to thank everyone on this board for helping me solve all but one of the many issues I had getting my system up and running over the past three days, and you didn't even know it! I found many problems similar to mine but I don't believe any exactly like it:
I can shut down my system normally however when I boot up it hangs just prior to the windows initiation screen where you get your mouse curser. I do a cold boot from there and it posts until I get to the screen for a safe restart or normal restart etc., I hit normal restart and it finishes the boot just fine. It does this consistantly, outside of this my system has been rock solid for the past couple days, I built it Wednesday.
Its almost as though it is forcing me to go through the safe restart process even though I had a clean shutdown.
So far with no effect:
I increased my memory voltage to 2.8V, this helpd my old system with post problems and solved one on this board. (RAM running at 2.8 for 10 months with no problems on my old system)
Disconnected the IDE HD drives (I boot to the SATA 1/2 raid)
Changed my boot order all around
Disabled my unused SATA 5/6 (SiS)
Reloaded windows XP with the IDE drives disconnected
Disconnected and removed the printer driver
Anthing else? Ideas?

Antec Trupower 550 2.0, dual 12V rails @ 19 amps, Still had the problem with several drives disconnected. Bummed, I can,t figure it out...I think I will go to a line by line post to see exactly where its hanging. I may have mis-stated, I don't think it clears the SATA raid load on the first try.

Cant boot after installin OS X

Just got a Power Mac G4 Tower. I installed OS X, everything looked fine but when on the restart it got stuck on a grey screen with a broken folder icon. What does this mean and how do I fix it?
Please help.

This is the current situation. As previously mentioned I got 2 G4 towers, the second upgraded without any problems it has Panther on it now. With the other tower I’ve installed OS 9.2.2 and upgraded the firmware (with your help, thank you.) I put in the same CD’s that worked in the second tower and now get an error “Startup Disk was unable to select the install CD as the startup disk. (-2)” I’ve also tried restarting holding down C with the panther install disks in and I no longer get the broken folder icon but a flashing apple face and question mark. I let go of C and it boots up in 9.2.2
I feel like I’ve made some progress but I’m still stumped on my next move.
oh yea. the only difference between the 2 towers is one is from 2000 and the other is 2001. The 2000 is the one giving me trouble. Don't know if that matters or not.

G4 Power Mac (MDD) - has trouble booting after shutdown

I have a Power Mac G4 MDD (1.25Ghz) that is having issues when it is shut down. The power button on the front of the machine does not start the computer every time. Sometimes it works, sometimes I need to wait a while before it will work. When the button is pressed, it does not light up or anything.
I have noticed that if I sleep the computer it always seems to wakeup when the front button is pressed. But if I shut down the G4, is does not always bootup.
I have also performed multiple restarts when performing software updates, and they always seemed to work fine.
I have changed the Saft battery inside - it was at about .4v
I have performed a CUDA/PMU reset using the button on the motherboard, and followed the Apple procedure. (disconnect power, and accesories, press reset button, wait 10 seconds, reconnect, restart) It did not restart right away, had to wait 20 minutes or so.
The G4 has a new installation of Tiger, with all of the updates.
I have identified that the PSU is dropping the standby voltage on Pin 1. It does not do it consistently, but when the 25v is missing from Pin 1, the G4 does not start. After a couple of minutes, I can see the voltage return to Pin 1, and the unit starts no problem.
Before I look for a replacement PSU (which seem pretty expensive), I was wondering if anyone knows if this is purely a PSU issue, or does the CUDA/PMU influence the standby voltages?

With the "sometimes" nature of the problem, it could be the front panel board, a much cheaper replacement than a PSU. An Apple tech told me that one way to test the front panel board was to find one of the first Apple USB keyboards for the original iMac. The early ones have a power button like the old ADB boards that overrides the internal board/button. He said that, should the Mac start reliably from the old keyboard, then there is trouble with the front panel board. The Apple model number for the USB board with power button is M2452.
Very helpful forum member japamac has a test procedure for the MDD PSU on his site here:

You'll need a multimeter to check the voltage levels.

Cant boot HELP

cant boot after i ran out of battery during update later when i recharged it i left macbook on for 12hours without moving off the boot screen (the grey apple with the circle loading thing) i tried repairing it with mac install disk but nothing. not sure what operating system i got it end of 2010

You will need to do the following:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.
BTW, your profile says Mac Pro, but you have a MacBook Pro, so you should change it to reflect what you are using.

T540p wont boot after bios update

Please help. Thanks in advance.

Ouch. And just out of luck.
Chances are, the board is bricked.
