Hi,
I know you aren't supposed to post things twice, but I didn't know which forum this went in, so I will post here also.
When I try to boot my DP500 G5 AGP mac with three internal drives, when the gray screen comes up with the apple and the circular progress indicator, it just stays there for a while and then a null sign appears (circle with slash through it) and it will not boot.
I recently tried to install Yellow Dog Linux on one of the internal drives (for learning experience) and now I am unable to boot from my main drive.
It does not even show up on my desktop.
I can boot from OS9 and see the disk, select is as the start up, even see all the files, but am unable to boot from it or even see it on OSX from a FW hard drive.
I tried apple disk utility in OSX which doesn't see the drive, fsck -y, using DiskWarrior from OSX (which doesn't see the drive at all) , apple disk utility from OS9 which saw the drive but repair had no effect, and even using Diskwarrior from OS9, which said it rebuilt the directory, but I still get the null sign.
I reset the pram, pressed the cuda...I am out of ideas.
I don't understand why Yellow Dog would cause this if I installed it on it's own drive. I disconnected the drive, no change.
Any Ideas????
Please?
