Booting my iMac after a crash the other ( leopard 10.5.6 ) day I came across the problem that the boot sequence would seem to hang. Visibly I would see the apple logo and the spinning bar and it would sit there. Thinking that it may be hardware related I booted up and ran the hardware diags...

I'm using OSX 10.4.3. I was trying to enable root, but somehow it got deleted. I just added root again, but it's not working because I don't remember any of the properties or values that are supposed to be there. Is there is a default set of properties and values for root on pretty much any...

My G4 533 Dual (10.2.8 I think) automatically boots into root mode. A black screen with :/root on it. I don't know how to get out of this to start up! I have been able to use the main hard drive (though not the third party add on) in firewire diskmode on my laptop and it checks out fine in Disk...

I know nothing about OSX's Unix underpinnings and now all of the sudden my G4 533 Dual boots automatically into root mode. I don't know how to get out of it. Restarting doesn't work and I can't find my system disks. Using firewire disk mode, I can mount the primary hard drive (but not the third...

Howdy ya'll, first let me say what a pleasure it has been to completely geek-out at this site. (Formerly, I considered myself well-rounded....) I don't know if you remember the days before Tiger, in which, Apple was not keen on allowing John Q Public the opportunity to gain Root...

On the restart of an installation of tiger (from 922) I get a "waiting for root device" on the startup. This has happened even on my 2nd drive after installation. Here is some background: firmware was updated prior to tiger install-428f1;G4 400 gig; both drives have been verified problem free...
