[QUOTE="rman, post: 3636, member: 23"] The root partition was maxed out and the system would not boot. I brought the system up in single user mode, then did a file system check. After having trouble removing files due to permission problem. Failed to notice that the root file system was read only. After booting with the 10.1 install cd rom, doing another file system check. I shut the system down and brought it up in single user mode again. That is when I saw the read only mode. I did another file system check, followed by a mount -uw. Then I was able to remove some files. I now have about 19 megs of disk space available, I rebooted the system. The system boots to the blue screen with the white box. In the white box there is a blue Apple and the words Mac OS X. The barber pole does not appear. What can I do to get the system to complete the boot cycle? [/QUOTE]
