Yea I thought it was strange that it just does nothing and doesent go into kernel panic mode when you do a normal boot up myself... Why I originally thought it was just a bad command in the startup sequence. I reset the PRAM, but nothing changed.... I also reseated the ram, and tried each...

So this should be everything: When I try and boot like normal, it boots through the Apple Logo screen and then does nothing, perpetually stuck in a grey screen. When I try to insert the install media into the computer and boot from the DVD (hold down C), I get a kernel panic telling me to...

If the problem is just the hard drive then that would be great news! Sounds much cheaper to replace than the logic board lol... But (maybe I am wrong in thinking this), if the problem is the hard drive, then how am I able to run Single User Mode? Or is that using data stored in some other part...

I've been through these steps with fsck and nothing seemed to do much of anything. One strange thing was that sometimes it would come back with errors, and sometimes it wouldn't, even though I didn't change anything between runs. I would start up in single user mode (which works for some...

I was thinking that all it needed was a fresh system reinstall, but I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish that. So I get the same kernel panic when I try to start the iMac from the system disk in both the iMac's drive, or putting the mac mini in target mode, insert the disk, then try to...

So I tried both RAM individually in each slot, always ending in the same result, a kernel panic telling me I need to restart the computer during the apple logo screen. So I figure, either both RAM are bad, or the RAM isn't the problem.... Is there any way to test the logic board? I ran the...

Ok so this question is only a fraction of the whole conversation that I guess was turned into a thread. So a real update is that my mini is back from repairs (DVD drive stopped working) and I am finally able to try and reinstall the system software into the iMac from the disk. Here is what...

iMac running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard that is stuck on the grey screen AFTER the logo screen. It will not go past that point unless you start it up in Target mode, and then select it as the startup disk from the connected computer. I started by reseting the PRAM and NVRAM, then checked for hardware...
