SweetMystery Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hi everybody ! I'm french so please excuse my language mistakes if I do some... I've been trying to install iatkos Lion2 on my desktop for 2 weeks and... succeeded ! I've been able to boot on both OSX and Windows XP for 2 weeks, everything running very good. I updated Lion to 10.7.4, downloaded some apps like XCode with no problem and everything worked great. Yesterday, while I was developping on XCode, having a few windows opened (XCode, PDF, Chrome, Mail) the system seemed to be run very slowly and the round waiter was permanently appearing in place of mouse cursor. Ten minutes later, I decided to manually shutdown the computer. The system rebooted and Lion boot stayed blocked on gray screen. I tried to boot as 'Single user', it didn't help. I tried on 'Verbose mode' and many error messages apeared at the end. Last one was : "the system bootstrapper has crashed". I just reseted my CMOS and it brought no help, unfortunately. I know that I could reinstall Lion, but that's not what I wanna do. Could somebody tell me if it is possible to repair it ? Thanks in advance for answers. S.

rlf Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Boot the iAtkos DVD into the installer. After the language window, go to the menu bar and select Utilities. Select Disk Utility. In the left hand pane, you will see an icon of your hard drive with the Lion partition below it. Select the Lion partition. In the right pane, select First Aid. Click on Repair Disk. When it is done, click on Repair Disk Permissions. Reboot and see if you can boot your Lion installation.

SweetMystery Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hi ! Thanks for replying. I tried "repair disk" and get the following error messages : "Checking catalog file. Invalid node structure. The volume myVolume can not be repaired. Volume repair complete. Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required. Error : Disk Utility can't repair this disk, backup...." The "repair disk persmissions" button is now unavailable.

eep357 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 your only option beside a reinstall is an archived install, basically reinstall Lion without erasing your previous installation first and hopefully your data will remain intact and issue will be fixed. If not you will probably need to erase, reinstall and start backing stuff up, especially prior to running a OS update Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280864-boot-problem-after-osx-crashes-both-lion-and-xp-now-unavailable/#findComment-1835944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
