[QUOTE="elma, post: 579200, member: 46759"] Hi there, I have a imac g4 1.25 ghz running os x 10.4.10 (or maybe 10.4.11 I'm not sure) I've had it since november and it has been faultless until last night. Last night I added broadband to it, using a g3 mobile internet modem, and tried to share the printer, ext hard drive and the internet with my pc. I also backed up everything on the internal hard drive to an external hard drive. THe mac began to bahave badly after this, it wouldn't print and kept locking up so I had to keep force quitting programs and restarting the mac. Now it cannot boot up osx. Here's what happens. If anyone can help I'd be ever so grateful. When I turn it on it makes the startup noise, does the first grey and blue screens as if starting to boot up normally and then enters something I (as someone more used to pc's) would call dos. It whizzes through a few pages and then leaves me with this on the screen. (4 lines of) Hub in appple extended usb keyboard: family specific matching fails (15 lines of) apple extended usb keyboard: family specific matching fails (2 lines of) IOUSB Interface: Family Specific matching fails (15 Lines of) Apple Optical USB mouse:family specific matching fails IOUSB Interface: Family Specific matching fails Security auditing service present BSM Auditing present Disabled rooting via boot uuid from / chaan:400B26B4-44FD-3318-947c-5271D5524001 Waiting on <dict ID="0">key>IOPProviderclass</key> <string ID="1">IO Rescources</string><key> IORescourceMatch</key> <string ID="2">boot-uuidmedia</string></dict> Got boot device = IOService:/MacR15C2PE/Pci@f4000000/applemacriscpci/ata-6@D/ApplekauiaATA/ATADeviceNub@0/IOATABlockStoragedriver/IOATABlockstoragedevice/IOBlockstoragedriver/ST380 011A Media/IO ApplePartitionScheme/Apple_HFS_Untitled_1@3 BSD root:diskOss, major14, minor2 hfs mount: enabling extended security on imac. Single user boot -- fsck not done. root device is mounted read-only If you want to make modifications to files: /sbin/fsck -fg /sbin/mount -uw/ If you wish to boot the system but stay in single user mode: sh /etc/rc I've tried typing sh /etc/rc because that seemed to make sense, it zipped off a few more lines and nothing good happened. I've typed help as well and that baffled me. I've been on the internet all morning looking for a solution, but can't find it. I don't have a copy of any osx disc, but last night, before it died, I ordered 10.5.1 so if I need to delete and re install thats not such a bad thing. I hope all this code stuff I've typed is useful, it took ages to write. Thanks for reading through it, Elma [/QUOTE]
