Hi All,

I've been extremely quiet on here because my Mini 9 has just worked! Until tonight that is. I upgraded my iPhoto (8.0.4) as well as Tweetdeck. No problems on install. I tried shutting down and it froze up. (I held the power key to power down) Since then I cannot boot unless it is in safe mode. I have verified and repaired the disk, even upgraded the efi from 1.1 to 1.2a5. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! (My master's thesis is due Monday!) Thanks in advance!

ps I haven't updated my sig, I am running 10.5.7 and everything else is up to date!

I'm having the same problem, only after a fresh install.I haven't even gotten it to fully boot yet unless in safe mode. I can boot in safe mode and do all the DellEFI stuff but when I actually try to boot it, OSX just sits at the grey apple screen with the spinner at the bottom for hours..

Mini9 Runcore 32, no BT, 1GB ram, 10.5.7 and latest DellEFI.

Any Ideas?

Please if anyone has any suggestions or solutions, I am really getting stuck because my masters work is due Monday, (13th) please any help would be amazing!!!

My only suggestion on this topic is to use DellEFI to:
1) Remove the dsdt.aml
2) reinstall the bootloader
3) reinstall the extensions

Once you have don that, reboot, and see if it works. If it does, run it once more to generate a new dsdt.aml file. Report back and we'll see if there is anything more that needs to be done.

Mechdrew-

gave that a run through... after all the steps, rebooted in standard mode, and it hangs up on the blue screen before the mouse pointer appears.

rebooted in with -v and the two points that i noticed it hung up on were something along the lines of

....sockwall...arr 55

and

...airportd30 something failed....

sorry i couldnt be more detailed! thank you for any help!
