------------------
This laptop is taking multiple attempts to boot up. Failed boots
happen via a grey screen, and a multilanguage "you must reboot your
machine" dialog. One or two of those, and then it boots normally.
I have no info on cold vs. warm boot, yet.
A USB mouse is present, No other USB devices are plugged in. It's
worked fine for ages and then this started.
It's had its permissions reset via the disk utility with no help.
Seems like a kernel panic, bad RAM maybe? or interleaved files- is Disk
Warrior the only solution?
Web archives suggest a "archive and install"- how well does this work
in practice, will he "lose all"?
Thanks,
Brian
