My G5 won't boot up. I know other people have had this problem, but let me explain my situation, because it's probably slightly different.
It was working fine, and then it froze, and I was forced to turn it off with the power button. Then when I tried to restart it, it would give me a white screen with a gray Apple logo and no startup chimes. It would sit at that screen with no spinning wheel, and the fans would begin to get really loud, so I'd turn it off.
I've tried things that have been suggested (removing peripherals and RAM, fsck, safe boot), but nothing has worked. I finally found my Tiger install DVD and booted up while pressing C. It started up fine, but when I opened disk utility and tried to "Repair Disk" ("Repair Disk Permissions" was grayed out) I got this error message:
Verify and Repair disk "disk0s3"
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Catalog file entry not found for extent
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of am error
Can anybody tell me what this means, and where I should go from here?
