Greetings all,
Can someone provide an interpretation of the "Civil Defense" (the circle w/
the diagonal "no" line drawn through it) symbol that appears after the white
Apple logo. Obviously it represents an unsuccessful boot up or mounting of
the start up volume, but can you provide a more complete description, and,
maybe a solution?
I look over to my g3/450 running 10.2.8, left unattended for a few minutes,
and its showing a Kernal Panic. I restart - takes a lo-o-o-ng time for the
Apple logo to appear. Before the "blue screen of life" (say, isn't that a
more pleasant thing than the PC version?) appears, I get the aforementioned
"CD" symbol. I reboot w/ the Installer CD, and it boots fine. I restore Disk
Permissions (off the CD boot) - I notice my OS 9 drive hasn't mounted.
Hmmm..
I restart: "CD" symbol
I restart with the OS 9 drive unplugged (rats, maybe it failed):
"CD" symbol again
Currently, I'm letting the unit go through a hard reset prep (PSU unplugged,
PRAM battery out, CUDA and power buttons pressed, etc.)
Any help offered would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Dana
