Hi,
I've got a 17" 1.9GHz iMac G5 that's having issues. Just installed a fresh OS (10.4), and when I try to boot up to configure it, it stops at the grey screen with the apple and the spiraling disc icon, and after a minute or two, the apple turns into the "no" symbol (circle with a slash through it.
The computer also will not boot from the install CD. It will however, boot just fine from a firewire drive (another computer in target mode).
Booting in verbose mode initially gave me "shutdown cause=3". I tried resetting the SMU and now it's giving me a "shutdown cause= -110".
I guess it's confusing that it's booting up perfectly from a firewire drive, but not from the internal HD nor optical drive.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
