Catalyst Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I need help getting past the grey apple screen at boot. What I have done is cloned my current work OSX installation onto a drive with a larger partition, and it should be identical to the system that I am writing this on now (it works.) The new OSX drive will not work, and I think it has something to do with "bless" because I get an error when I try to run that command on the drive: MacCenter:/Users/Aeon root# bless -folder /Volumes/Flux/System -setBoot Could not find IODeviceTree:/options MacCenter:/Users/Aeon root# Heres bless info MacCenter:/Users/Aeon root# bless -info /Volumes/Flux/ finderinfo[0]: 100580 => Blessed System Folder is /Volumes/Flux/System finderinfo[1]: 0 => No Blessed System File finderinfo[2]: 0 => Open-folder linked list empty finderinfo[3]: 0 => No OS 9 + X blessed 9 folder finderinfo[4]: 0 => Unused field unset finderinfo[5]: 100580 => OS X blessed folder is /Volumes/Flux/System 64-bit VSDB volume id: 0x0106AEE34F277BC3 MacCenter:/Users/Aeon root# The issue I have when I try to boot this system is Darwin comes up, loads, then it goes to the Apple screen. The little circle thingy doesnt even come up, and the system just sits there. No HD activity, no nothing. Passing -v returns all the darwin loading lines, and no errors. Passing -x at boot does nothing. I would appreciate any help or ideas you may have! Thanks in advance.

hoven Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I had the same problem with my asus P4P800-E Deluxe. I just had to update the motherboard bios and all worked perfectly.

Andrey Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Is the newly blessed drive on the Pri/Master IDE cable? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19548-cant-get-past-apple-screen/#findComment-128838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
