cchaynes Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 i can boot into safe mode (-x) without fail, however, straight up, i get an error display: family specific matching fails also regardless of how i try to boot, it takes forever!! how long should it take? what is the cause of my error? can i speed it up? are there boot flags other than -x that i should try? thanks in advance... c Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39767-notebook-only-boots-in-safe-mode/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
