Hello All-
I have been running 10.1.4 Server for a while now. This morning when I came in I had just a blue screen, and about every one minute it would kind of flicker, but nothing else. So I restarted the machine and it seemed to be booting fine until it gets to the point where you should get the login screen, and back to the solid blue screen again. ???? So I started in single user mode and I get a message saying to "run '/sbin/fsck -y first and then '/sbin/mount -uw /'" So I did all of that and it says that the volume appears to be OK. Reboot the machine, and now when the OSX Server splash screen comes up with the progress bar there is no info under the progress bar, like Starting AppleTalk and so on. It goes all the way through the progress bar like normal and then goes to the blue screen and just sits there and flickers. So then restarted in verbose mode, and the same thing happens but when it flickers you can see there is about three lines of code that flash by so fast you can't see them. I'm stuck on what to try next. Any suggestions? Oh yeah- the machine itself is fine, I had a slave drive that was a mirror of the master and I can boot off it just fine, and get to all of my data just fine. I could just blow out the master and copy everything from the slave back to the master, but I would like to know where things went wrong. Thanks for any help.
