Hi,
Repairing a MacBook (A1181).
It won't start. All that happens is grey screen. Then Apple logo. Then rotating roundel. Eventually it crashes out with the following message:
panic (cpu 1 caller 0x47f5ad): "Process 1 exec of sbin/launchd failed errno 85\n"@/sourceCache/xnu/xnu-1504.15.3/bsd/kern/kern_exec.c:3145
There is a whole heap of other stuff and if totally necessary I will repeat it.
Have tried going into Safe Mode but get largely the same error.
Have tried a recovery (Cmd, R) but with same result.
Tried reloading OS (OS X 10.4.10) No joy but noticed that disk has been badly scratched by new optical drive (Grrrrrr!).
Tried running AHT (Version 3A127) and thought I was getting somewhere when a blue screen appeared, but was short lived when the system told me that the hardware did not support this software.
Tried Opt D to try and run diagnostics - No luck
I suspect something may be wrong with the hard drive but can't seem to get access to any diagnostic software to confirm or deny this.
Anyone got any ideas?
Regards,
Neil Harland
