Hi - hope someone can shed some light on this problem. I have a 700Mhz 12" iBook which had 2 replacement logic boards under Apple's replacement program. It had a new hard drive fitted a couple of months ago as the original died, and worked fine for a while (I run an eMac as my main machine with the iBook as a backup) but now won't boot up, except in safe mode.
It boots to the grey screen with the rotating "clockface", then abruptly switches to blue screen with nothing happening. It'll boot into safe mode OK, but I can't figure out what the problem is - I've run Disk Utility on it and verified and repaired permissions, booted from DiskWarrior and run that on it, but it still won't boot properly.
I've tried booting into Single User Mode and doing all the mount -uw stuff, that doesn't seem to make any difference. I've looked for third party items in the startup items folders in /Library and /System/Library and so on.
Any ideas, anyone?
