Exclamation Startup Freeze, multiple machines

So the startup issue I have had is now present on two machines. One, an older G4, and with my current iMAC.
Neither computers will do anything beyond show a gray screen with the apple logo, and an "hourglass" like icon (actually a pinwheel with lines.)
This is not a network issue. I've tried resetting PRAM, safe mode, unplugging everything and moving ports...

No need to start a completely new thread for the exact, same problem. Simply use the existing thread if any other issues crop up (exact same problem manifesting itself on a different machine, any progress made in troubleshooting, etc.).

Wink Thanks.

Makes Sense. I don't lurk on a lot of computer FYI forums (10k+ posts! Christ!) so the protocol for said ve"geek"hicle escapes me. I will thread properly now, lest the LARPS grow restless...
