No such File or Directory |

Tried running XPF 3.0 to no avail. Am now back at 2.5.5. I boot up in verbose mode. Right before the text usually(emphasis on usually) says startup complete, I get an sort of error. It is the last line of text before the screen goes blue. Very hard to read becuase of the speed of the text appearing and disapprearing. It reads something to the effect of: syslogd.:net.info No such file or directory. That is not the word for word line but pretty close. After that line of text it goes to the blue screen and hangs forever with the beachball for my cursor. Any ideas? Already ran disk warrior, disk first aid, rebuilt desktop, and ran fsck. Thanks for any input. Morrison |

Reinstalling a fresh 2.2.5 and reinstalling BootX, extensions. Also trashing the startupitems. That did the trick. thanks guys for getting me back up and running so quick. Thanks again. Morrison |

You could try reinstalling BootX and resintalling extensions with XPF 2.2.5. Also, you should probably delete the XPFStartupItem, located in /Library/StartupItems. I haven't actually tested 10.1.5 yet--I guess I better do that! |

The verbose mode text at that point should also be available from the Mac OS X log, which you can find at /private/var/log/system.log |

I don't have a firewire drive. I didn't reinstall OS or use CCC. XPF 3.0 wouldn't boot 10.1.5. BTW. running a PM 9500 with XLR8 400/1MB Zif with about 450Megs of RAM. Was just trying out the new XPF for the hell of it. Simply trashed 3.0 and redownloaded 2.5.5. I now get that last bit of text before it heads to the eternal blue screen. Normally I would get the blue screen, then my desktop picture, then the desktop icons would appear with dock at bottom, etc. Now it stops at the blue screen. thanks for the input. I'll look via Sherlock and date created for any new files 3.0 loaded that could cause this. |

sounds just like the firewire problem, but i know that you are not booting from the firewire drive. did you reinstall extentions? did you reinstall the OS or just do a CCC? because it could have copied a bad file from your firewire drive. also if you used the drive as your helper drive you need to delete some hidden files that were put it, i have no idea what they could be but i know they are there and hidden. |
