Pismo now won't boot into X (but runs 9.1)

I originally upgraded PBG3(FW)(pismo) to panther about a year ago. All was well and it worked without any problem.
Then at the suggestion of software update I did one of the security updates (to be honest i can now no longer remember which one) and after that it crashed and refused to boot.
It will not boot from my panther CD - sometimes gets as far as the grey apple and spinning disk, then stalls.
It will boot from a backup 9.1 CD and I can re-install 9.1 on the HD, which then boots and runs normally (wow its fast).
From within 9.1 the panther CD mounts and verifies normally. In startup disk it is greyed out so i can't chose to start from it. If I launch the installer it tries to restart but won't and gives an error to the effect of not being able to startup from the startup CD.
It will not boot from a clone of my PM G4 installation from a firewire HD.
The panther CD will startup the G4 (so it must work) and I can install panther on the pismo HD when it is in FW target disk mode. But the pismo will still not then boot from this install.
Its as if something in the update stopped the poor pismo from starting up from any version of X. No other hardware changes made between it being OK and now refusing to boot.
Any help very gratefully recieved !

Hi Jon:
Good call on removing the RAM, which is often a culprit of kernel panics, and you're right, Panther does need at least 128MB to run. You could try another stick of RAM (I'd recommend Kingston or Azen)....
I've installed Panther on close to 50 mac of various flavors in the last two years, everything from 350 MHz iMac to a dual 2GHz PowerMac G5, and have rarely encountered a problem that couldn't be resolved with a simple hardware change (RAM, optical or hard drive). Right now, as it turns out, I'm having problems with a 350MHz iMac. Panther installs ok, all the updates go ok, all the installed apps run fine, but as soon as I try to change the screen saver, it freezes. I've wiped the drive, written zeros, and reinstalled, and both times I get the exact same thing. I've swapped RAM, which makes no difference, so I'm about to try a different hard drive.
Let us know how replacing the mach_kernel file goes, and good luck!

XP installed successfully, but now won't boot into OSX

I installed XP onto my 06 MB Pro without any problems. Now when I restart it boots into XP; holding down the Option key to invoke the Startup Disk Manager doesn't work.
How do I get into OSX to set the main (OSX) partition as the startup drive?

I ran Boot Camp Assisstant, followed instructions (partitioned HD: 1 for OSX, 1 smaller for Windows), inserted XP install disk, then followed Windows installer.
Windows install disk reformatted smaller partition into NTFS, then installed XP.
The Book now boots straight into XP, and holding Option won't invoke the Startup Disk screen to choose between OSX partition or Windows partition. I triple checked that the right partition was reformatted, so am confident it was the right one!
+If you have an external hard drive, you may want to set it up so you can boot from there; have space to use WinClone to backup Windows at some point, as well as clone/backup OS X.+
I have external drives, but they're all USB so no Target Mode I'm afraid.
+If you inserted and installed Apple Setup while in Windows, you should have Apple Boot CAmp control panel startup disk and other services now.+
I haven't inserted any other disks since the XP installation - do I now need to insert my Leopard install disk? How can I check if I have the Boot Camp control panel on the OSX partition (will it show up in XP anywhere?) ?

Firewire card installation failed, now won't boot into os x

G4 gigabit dual 450 was working fine except firewire port wasn't so I installed a firewire port card. On reboot i got/get a nice startup tone but the screen stops on the grey on grey apple image... with the grey bar circle spinning, and won't move into os x. I tried the button switch (PMU? counted to 12) by the internal battery, but no change. HELP, please...
(I took the firewire card out)

Hi
Dale Wiesshaar,
I installed YellowDog Linux last week. I deleted the installation, personal reasons, and tried to install this week.
Guess what happened? All three firewire ports are not working.
When trying to install YDL, the installation tries to load the ohci1394 driver and abends, dumps, throws and exception, whatever.
In addition, none of the 4 daisy chained firewire drives appear on the desktop. None of the additional 3 daisy chained firewire drives appear on the desktop. The firewire camera does not appear on the desktop.
So I broke the chain into a 15 feet chains, and distributed the chains over 2 external firewire ports. Four devices are on one chain, and two devices are on the other chain. The other firewire device was moved to the 12 port usb hub (this device switches b/w usb/firewire). The camera is off the chain entirely.
The following are the installed extensions on my mac:
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
This is the fix I performed: http://www.index-site.com/firewirebug2.html#RESETPMU
pull the plug on all devices and power mac; waited an entire day to replug
reset-all = in open firmware
reset parameter ram
broke up the chain of firewire devices to 15 feet each, on each port
blew any dust particles from the firewire ports
lastly, reset PMU
the battery is problably less than 2 years old (my mac is 10 to 12 years old; it is my personal computer)
None of the above fixes restored my firewire ports. Therefore, I purchased a firewire card. All firewire devices appear within the finder.app.
I am not able to install YDL. YDL allows me to perform a multiple boot:
Linux
MacOSX
MacOS
OpenFirmWare
CD
NetWork
(for security reasons i do not perform all of these boots)
When YDL attempts to load the ohci1394 driver, it fails. I removed the new firewire card, now I am back to circle one.
I will now try the following solutions:
combo update
repair permissions
If this does not work, I will reseat my fireWire card and not install YDL.
Thank you in advance for your assistance, and helpful post on the fireWire conumdrum.

Hard drive won't boot into OS but all files are intact

Hi,
I recently installed Lion and when I did so I backed up my OS drive to two internal drives both of which were partioned--each back up drive has 2 partitions (one of each was for my back up OS).
Yesterday I wanted to restore my original OS drive to it's orignal state and did a restore from one of the back ups. I have done this several times with no problem. Yesterday, however, something went wrong and I cannot boot into either of my backups--I tried restoring to my original OS drive and I can't boot to it either. I know that all the files are still there because upon boot up if I use the option-command-shift-delete to get alternate boot device i can choose my back up and/or my main boot up drive to boot up. This is, however, the only way I can boot up. I fear that I corrupted some kind of boot file while creating the back ups when copying.
I erased my main OS drive and reinstalled Lion to it and it boots up--however, I have none of my files.
Ideally I would like to copy everything over from my backup drive to my new OS without the corrupted boot problem coming along with the files.
Is there a straightforward way to do this?

Disk Utility : Restore - look in Help, there really are good tips and How to tips and steps
Sometimes DU Restore has been a problem where SuperDuper would work.
Have more than one backup set and type.
Clones are bootable, and first thing to do after making one (and repair permissions and the drive even) is test and insure it is bootable. GUID partition table for one thing.
MA should work if it sees the volume as a system.
TriBackup is great for synching folders and files, even a system.
Maybe the change to Lion is why this time failed. You did try the Lion Recovery Mode (command-r) and read up Apple Support Lion.

G5 won't boot into Leopard

Hello everyone,
I've got a weird issue with my PowerMac G5 and Leopard. My 11 year old was experimenting with the GUI, and it's possible that he ended up interfering with the online OS update, or something along these lines (I wasn't there to see what he did). Or maybe it's a totally different issue. Right now the G5 won't boot. When powered on, it chimes, displays the large brown-ish apple, and stops dead in its tracks. I've tried unplugging it for 5 minutes, pushing the PMU reset button, resetting PRAM, but haven't made much progress. Same result when trying to boot off OS X DVD. When it was working, I noticed that it was having trouble keeping time, I thought the CMOS battery may need replacing soon. Can a dead battery be causing this issue, even after all the resets? When the apple is displayed, does it mean it tried booting the OS and failed, or did it not even get that far? I don't hear any sounds coming from the hard disk. Another oddity: about a minute after it's been powered on with the apple still up on the screen, it starts to sound like a jet engine spooling up. It's a gradual increase in fan RPM (power supply fans also) to the point that it becomes VERY loud and sounds like it's about to blow up. What's going on here?
Thanks in advance for any ideas / suggestions.

I have more info... I was able to get the G5 into the boot device selection screen; when I tell it to boot off the hard disk, I hear the hard disk chirp, the G5 throws up the apple screen, and everything goes dead.
I also booted into the OpenFirmware (as suggested in another forum), and ran the reset-nvram command, followed by reset-all. Now when it boots into the device selection screen, I don't see the DVD at all anymore!
Thanks!

Yosemite install won't boot into any mode

Really sorry if this has been covered before but I spent a good time searching and couldn't find any existing posts with symptoms to the same extent.
I've got a 2008 iMac 27" and have the latest version of Yosemite installed (10.10.1 I guess). I upgraded to Yosemite probably 2-3 weeks ago and everything has been fine. Then yesterday when I woke it up from sleep it effectively froze - no mouse or keyboard input. So I did a reset by holding down the power button, and when I turned it back on it went to the apple logo boot screen with a progress bar that gets to just below 50% and stuck there. I've restarted quite a few times and left it running up to six hours and still it doesn't boot.
Now this is similar to the issue here - OSX Yosemite won't boot after install on mid 2010 iMac - except I am unable to boot into any mode, and the only startup keys accepted are the P-RAM reset. It won't boot into recovery mode (command+R), safe mode (Shift), startup drive select mode (Option), diagnostics mode (D)... nothing
I've booked into a Genius Bar appointment when the Apple stores reopen after Christmas, but I'm hoping that is a last resort and to be honest I'm unsure what they can do for me except to say it's a lost cause.
Are there any suggestions on what could be happening and why it's ignoring the startup modes? I would have suggested the keyboard not being recognised except the P-RAM command works perfectly, so it's obviously seeing it. I'm a little scared that because it won't let me into a boot device menu (which must operate independent of any HDD) then there's an issue ahead of that in the boot sequence, so possibly the motherboard is shot...
Sorry if I seem a little desperate. I had a HDD crash two years ago to the day (great Christmas present Apple) and it kind of puts a dampener on things.
Happy holidays and I'm grateful for any help that anyone can offer

Hello there, semerton.
Great job on troubleshooting the issue on your own so far. The following Knowledge Base aritcle offers some additional steps to try for resolving your issue:

Factory fresh Thinkpad T440 won't boot into preinstalled Win8

As the title already tells,
my company orderd new Thinkpads with preinstalled Win 8.
So I packed one out and pressed the power on/off button but the Thinkpad won't boot into Win8. Right now it hangs in the screen where I can choose from which option I'd like to boot (network, SSD etc.)
So I decided to take another one but it has the same problem.
I have no clue what I can do about this problem.
Has anyone a suggestion for me what I can do now ?

Hi Mjschuster,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
Check if the HDD is detecting in the BIOS.
If yes, then perform “System Restore” to reinstall the Operating System.
If it is not showing in BIOS, try reseating the drive.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

2Ghz Macbook won't boot into OS

I've had it (white 2GHz MB) for a month, and wasn't expecting something like this to happen so soon, if at all. I've had other problems with my PC laptops, but nothing this..weird and unexpected. I got a Mac just so I wouldn't get such weird and wonderful problems such as this.
I was just browsing on the net, nothing special, I bookmarked a page in Firefox, and then the screen comes up telling me to shut down and restart. Did that, had the apple logo come up, think for a few seconds, then the restart screen came up again.
Ever since then, when I try to turn it on, something (I'm assuming it's the hard drive) whirs up for a second, the apple logo comes up and the intro sound goes, and then it shuts down. Then it repeats this process, with the HD whirring up, intro sound going, apple logo appearing, then shutting down. The first time through this, the white indicator light turns on, but after the first shutdown, it stays off. I can stop it from cycling through this by holding the power down until it shuts down, but that's the only way that seems to affect it. Trying to turn it on again only makes it go through this again.
I'm planning on bringing it into the store when I can, but I live several hours away from the nearest. I guess I could send it in too, but I don't want to be without my laptop for a month or more if it's something that would just require the right input of keys or something simple.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
2GHz Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6) won't boot into OS, weird problem

I've now tried inserting the install disk, but what I had assumed was the HD seems to be the disk drive instead, because now it seems that it is pushing the disk out, not allowing it in.
The only added RAM was instore when I got it, upgraded to 1 gig. No recent applications that I can remember. I don't think I did anything different with it at least for quite a few hours.
I don't know what a bad battery would have to do with it, it was fully charged, and does the same thing when the AC isn't plugged in.
I've been very happy with the laptop and Macs in general until now. Everything's run beautifully, I haven't been getting discolouration or anything, there's a bit of a whine but it's quieter overall than any computer I've had before. It's just a really, really odd problem (that seems to be isolated, from what I've seen looking around). Unfortunately, this problem is making it totally unusable for the moment.

Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows

I've got a Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows. I've tried all of the following initial tests as suggested on forums:
-Ram swaps
-Alternating video card in PCIe slots
-Trying alternate video card
-resetting pram and smc
-Multiple tests with memtest86+ over 26hrs and no failed ram
-Multiple tests (8-12 cycles) with apple HW diagnostics and no problems
-Firmware is approved firmware for early 2008 model...no new updates.
Gentoo livecd works fine and I even installed to hard drive and it boots fine with it. In addition to above tests I also ran a linux stress test putting all 8 cores at a load of 22 for 2.5hrs with no problems.
Memtest86+ for 24hrs+ yields no problems.
Where problems occur:
Booting off hard drive, DVD or firewire yields an immediate curtain of death and booting off a new snow leopard DVD dies about 25% into the install.
Looking at error log and a quick dmesg shows "Package 0 didn't get an HPET" and complains about AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext. Google turns up illegal uses of this, so doesn't apply to my use case.
I'm a bit stumped since all was working well until one day it was non-stop curtains of death and can't get them to go away.
A logic board replacement at $1100 is not a feasible option for something that works on linux and windows, but not OS/X, is a bit disappointing and somewhat surprising.
Thanks for your help and advice.
Regards,
Marcos

Someone here once thought they knew EFI and Open Firmware a little, and used some commands from OF library that an Intel EFI Apple system didn't like. New logicboard.
Of course to run or boot OS X and see video you need EFI based card. The presence of some PC cards can block OS X from booting.
The fact you get part way through SL DVD, pull all the drives, put in a new drive and format it from SL DVD.
Most of the things you tried are what are more common with PC hardware. Including where people have tried and failed to install OS X on unsupported hardware.
I suppose it is possible something tried and failed to modify the Mac's firmware.
If you have Windows running, and you have WD drives, WD just posted new Lifeguard utility which is what I use to do a good job of stripping a drive down and recertify it for reuse, works wonders. Maybe same for other makes with vendor utility.

Client boots into WinPE but then it will fail and reboot after the step: "Preparing network connections"

I have a new issue with all DPs.
When I pxe boot, it will boot into WinPE but then it will fail and reboot after the step: “Preparing network connections”
I have tried reinstalling the DP and MP. Also redistributing the boot image.
When I press F8 to go into debug mode, ipconfig show me an IP address and I am able to ping my Management point, my DHCP server and also my Distribution point.

Every time a query is sent to the MP, it receives 0x80072ee2 which translates to "The operation timed out". This has nothing to do with your MP or DP though so reinstalling them won't make any difference.
This error is indicative of network issues -- basically, the "client" is not getting a response back in a timely manner (and probably not at all). Assuming the MP is healthy though, then only other piece of the puzzle is the network.
You can try setting the SMSTSAssignmentsDownloadRetry and SMSTSAssignmentsDownloadInterval task sequence variables in the boot image to increase the client's tolerance for latency or other weirdness in the network. This has worked for many.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to break out a sniffer and watch the traffic to see what's going on at a network level.

MacBook pro kernel panic, now won't boot. Am I doomed?

My MacBook Pro 15" (bought in Jan 2012) just had a kernel panic and now won't boot up.. Am I doomed?

No, it doesn't necessarily mean the hard drive is toast. You can start by doing the following:
Boot into Safe Mode then do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
If the drive is OK and you can repair permissions, then see if the computer will boot up normally. If it doesn't boot up normally then reinstall OS X:
Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

OS X Lion 10.8.2 won't boot into recovery mode

Help! OS X Lion 10.8.2 won't boot into recovery mode, I get a grey screen, the apple icon and the spinning symbol...Does anyone have any suggestions?
Have a MacBook Pro (2009) and had no problems until upgrading to LIon from Snow Leopard... thanks!

Hi there - thanks very much for your suggestion, it did reboot eventually but took a long time to get there.
I've have run Disk Utility. After Verifying the disk it said it needed Repairing - so tried doing that and got the message " Error: Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files" I have got Time Machine but haven't backed-up since Dec 12...Can I use "Restore" to copy the MBP HD to an external HD and then re-install Lion?

Hi guys I'm really in need of some help. I have an IMac I3 for a while now I've been having a problem of my machine refusing it shut down , it goes to a blue screen with a spinning wheel but doesn't shut down. And now won't boot from install DvD

Please some one help me ...
A) my mac won't shut down with external HD connected (if it's been used)
B) there are disk permissions that can't be fixed SUID stuff ..
C) I have now verified the Mac HD and it tells me it's corrupt in bold red writing and to start up from install DVD
D) it won't boot from DVD so I cannot run the repair , initially the machine was spitting it out on start up , now it appears to be attempting to boot off DVD , well it sounds like it is .... BUT it's hanging with the Mac Logo and a wheel ... For um .... 30min now...
E) weirdly when OSX is booted off the hard drive , it won't recognise the Install DvD or the applications one... It just spits them out....
I had an old PPC 17" and it was a beaut .... Never had a single problem with it ...
I bought this one December 2010 and it's been nothing but issues for a computer in excess of £1000 I'm extremely disappointed ... And weirdly the shutting down issue started when it was a week out of warrantee ... I feel conned and am almost at the point of throwing it at a wall and buying a PC

Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
It says ;
Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
Continuing...
And stops ...
Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

Pismo now won't boot into X (but runs 9.1)
