[QUOTE="Sherman Homan, post: 579228, member: 22094"] Well, you have landed in Single User mode, so while you are there you should run that bit of code that says: /sbin/fsck -fy And that is a "y" not a "g" make sure that you include the space after the "k". This will do a fairly good directory repair, run it until the text says no changes made. Then type "reboot" which it should do and return you to your normal Mac. However, before you start, I would guess that there is something wrong with something on your USB bus. Is the new modem a USB device? Yank it. Yank anything other than the keyboard and mouse. Then run fsck. Don't run the sh /etc/rc command because you do not want to stay in Single User mode: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_user_mode[/url] [/QUOTE]
