[QUOTE="Hartbank3, post: 1356907, member: 232649"] I bought the IMac new in Aug 2011. Brought it home and upgraded it to Lion. Now all of the sudden I can't get it to boot. I turn it on and there is a bunch of writing on the left. It starts with panic(cpu 1 caller (then a whole bunch of numbers for 8 lines) BSD process name corresponding to current thread: hfs.util Boot args: rp=file:///com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg Mac OS version: 11C74 Kernel Version: Karwin Kernel Version 11.2.0: Tue Aug 9 20:54:00 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1699.24.8-1/RELEASE_x86_64 Kernel UUID: 59275DFA-10C0-30B3-9E26-F7B5DFB1A432 System model name: iMac 12,1 (Mac-942B5BF58194151B) System uptime in nanoseconds: 70403461104 It won't start in safe mode. I've unplugged everything. I've reset the PRAM I tried the interned recovery (it completed it and then restarted and froze) I booted while holding the option key and then tried starting from recovery hd (it just froze). I booted from the disk, opened utilities, and tried repair and verify(it froze on both). I then booted from the disk tried to erase to do a clean install. I selected the 7 pass option and hit erase. It worked until there was about 4 min left and then it started doing a 3 beep patern. Any ideas? I'm in Yuma AZ so there isn't an actual Apple store close to me. Thanks for the help in advance.
