Ok guys, I need help on that one.
I just rebooted my Powerbook G4 12" and it keeps freezing on the apple logo screen.
I try to boot from a CD but it doesn't boot on the CD, even though I hold the C button, it keeps booting on my HD and then freezes up on the apple logo screen.
I do not event see the Wheel "hourglass" spining.
Anybody that can suggest something?
Thanks,
LikWiD

Can you boot into Single User Mode?
If you can, run "fsck";
To run fsck, you first need to start up your Mac in
single-user mode. Here's how:1. Restart your Mac.
2. Immediately press and hold the Command and "S"
keys.You'll see a bunch of text begin scrolling on your
screen. In a few more seconds, you'll see the Unix
command line prompt (#).You're now in single-user mode.
Now that you're at the # prompt, here's how to run
fsck:1. Type: "fsck -y" (that's fsck-space-minus-y).
2. Press Return.
The fsck utility will blast some text onto your screen.
If there's damage to your disk, you'll see a message
that says:***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
If you see this message--and this is extremely
important--repeat Steps 1 and 2 again and again
until that message no longer appears. It is normal to
have to run fsck more than once -- the first run's
repairs often uncover additional problems..When fsck finally reports that no problems were
found, and the # prompt reappears:3. Type: "reboot" to restart,
or type "exit" to start up without rebooting.
4. Press Return.
Your Mac should proceed to start up normally to the
login window or the Finder.
