Hi everyone,
My G4 - 1Gb - 17" Pbook keeps telling me to reboot on startup during the "progress-circle-thingy". At first I thought that the HD might be broken, but when I "T" connected it by firewire to my PMac G4, the drive appeared intact. I then switched the boot drive on the PMac to the Pbook over firewire, and voila! It worked like a clock. Thus leading me to believe it was a osx software problem. So using this Pbook on PMac setup (I should add that my Pbook superdrive "died" four months ago.), I backed up my files from the Pbook. Did a "clean" new osx 10.4 installation, and figured I had solved the problem. I disconnected the Pbook, rebooted it and.... Guess what... Same thing. "You need to reboot." I have tried all the "cmd-opt-key"s and still the same. Reboot, reboot, reboot.
"A for your thoughts" as the expression goes. Anyone?
Thank you..
Øyvind
