10.4: OS X 10.4.3 update released
Authored by: matx on Nov 01, '05 03:36:03PM

Ya, had one computer do that at work. Manually powered off, then on again. It refused to boot. Booted into single-user (command-s) and ran "fsck -yf", and then "exit". When that didn't work tried "safe" mode. Reboot and hold the "shift" key. No luck there, either, so booted into target mode and tried a repair disk from another G5. Tried booting from OSX cd/dvd but that stalled too. Using TechTool Pro 4.0.5 worked (boot from CD). Alternatively I could have used DiskWarrior to check it out. The G5 finally came back up, after some massage. :)
