Dear fellow Mac users
I updated to Tiger 10.4.4 successfully on my G4 dual 800 desktop and used it for about a week. Then the keyboard + & -volume, mute and eject keys stopped working. Next time I switched on it stalled at the white boot up screen with grey apple logo where the indicating cog runs continually. During this initial time there is disc activity but this eventually stops and then nothing else happens.
Apart from a Wacom tablet there is nothing else connected.
I also have system 10.3.9 and system 9 on the same machine and these both start as normal so I dont believe its hardware.
I have zapped PRAM, run Disk Utilities repair and permissions but no difference. I booted into single user mode and ran fsck f which found a problem but second run confirmed it was OK
Is there an error log I can view to find out where it hangs and if so where is it and how do I view it?
Any help would be appreciated from your newest member.
Andrew
