Hi All,
We had a series of storms in the past couple weeks, and a few power outtages, some for just a few seconds. My G5 was attached to a surge protector, but not a UPC...
Anyway, the other day I noticed that Time Machine wasn't backing up to it anymore because the system wasn't mounting from my MBP. I tried getting it to boot, but it won't go past the grey startup screen. I tried CMD+CTRL+P+R and it did nothing. I tried CMD+S and it got through to the root prompt, but I couldn't type anything... And after about 2 minutes at that screen, the fans started whirring, and now, as I type this, the system sounds like it's about to take off...
Does anybody have any suggestions of what to try next?
Thanks!
