I apologize -- this is only indirectly related to fink, but I am chasing down all avenues, even ones that seem unlikely...
I am running fink under OS X 10.2, and after a few hiccups am very happy -- I have almost all of my old favorites running again; KDE (I am a reformed Linux geek ;-), MySQL, etc. Than Apple comes out with an OS update... OK, no problem, every OS has them. I install it and the system no longer boots... Can't boot single user, can't boot verbosely, just a simple grey screen and then nothing. So, I peruse Apple's discussion boards, try out the "Restore Privileges" option. Still no dice. So, now I am looking into the few non-Apple tools I have that install things in the operating system hierarchy... If I'm not mistaken (and this is where your expertise comes in), the only fink packages that install *anything* in a place other than /sw are the following: xfree86-base and xfree86-rootless (installs stuff in /usr/X11R6, /etc/X11, and /Applications) passwd (installs stuff into the Netinfo hierarchy for users and groups) daemonic (installs stuff in /Library/StartupItems) Have I missed anything? Because of the system lockup as early as it occurs, I really doubt X or daemonic could be coming into play, but I don't know at what point NetInfo gets loaded (my gut tells me about half way through the boot process, which would mean it isn't causing my problems)... Has anyone else experienced this problem or have any suggestions as to what I can try next? I plan to install a clean 10.2 on another machine and try the 10.2.1 upgrade on it later this week... if that works, I'll try booting the problem machine from that drive and see what happens. Thanks for indulging and please let me know if you have any suggestions. -- Aaron Magill -- Aaron S. Magill Sol Tec, Inc.
