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.
This is the same as the old Flashing Question Mark in OS 9: it means
that OS X did not find a bootable system.
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)
That's wrong. you should always run repair permissions from the
system you run from.
Disk Repair, however needs to be run from the boot cd or another
booted system, and is what I'd suggest in this case as a start. This
sounds like disk issues.
