hey all,
can anyone advise me on next steps for a non starting G5 dual 2.0. i'm getting grey screen with apple but no progress wheel and fans start winding up. stays this way forever. won't start up from dvd so no help from g5 software disk. tried all the tricks: started in open firmware, reset "nvram" and "all"; reset PMU; unplugged all periferrals; removed all 3rd party ram(and then original ram); this started immmediately after doing 10.4 update to 10.4.1(yes, that's the first tiger release to 10.4.1) i downgraded from leopard when the G5 reacted badly to it. did a disk erase and then installed my original tiger disk and was working my way back up through the older versions. anyway, the best piece of info is probably in the attached image. when i started in single user mode, this is what i got...
thanks
