Hi,
I had bad luck with the update OS-X 10.4.4 on my G4 dual PowerMac. First time I've ever had a problem with an update, actually. In any case I get a core panic message and the computer never boots, and forces me to shut down by holding the power button. I've tried booting into Unix mode with the 'v' option at startup, and into safe mode with the shift key as well as the command+option+p+r reset. Nothing has worked.
I'd like to go back and re-install Tiger from CD. The problem is that I cannot open the CD-ROM/DVD drive door, since I never get far enough into the login to do so. Are there any keystroke commands I can use at start-up to open the door?
Thanks,
Anthony
