[QUOTE="Happy-Granddad, post: 1790315, member: 384425"] It's a refurbished iMac dating from about 2013, I think. I'm inclined not to think it is simply a failing disk, because the mode of failure involved the unending generation of error messages about 'too many corpses' which a couple of hundred 'me too' reports suggested the problem is widespread, and some apparent procedural solutions gave me hope, if only I could understand them. I've just this minute abandoned the static screen and rebooted in Verbose mode. I still get "Too many corpses being created" Some proposed fixes involve deleting some .kext files, but I don't know which ones, nor how to identify any 'hidden' ones. I wonder, too, if I have to use the scripts being suggested, of if I can achieve the same thing by booting in Target mode to my MacBookPro (which connects fine). The literature is voluminous, but not very clear. David [/QUOTE]
