snip > Any ideas? OK, Just tried starting after pulling the pram and plug for 15 minutes. Got the 4 language restart, Then the kernel panic with cpu faulure, then finally a grey apple with the spinning daisy. Went out to dig out what the plows just covered my driveway with. After 10 minutes, still had the spinning daisy. Forced a restart and got a grey apple with no spinning daisy.
