Nothing that an aborted install did should prevent your Mac from booting properly.

Was hoping I can at least get it running with a full format and clean install. My last recourse is to haul the iMac into Apple but it is 4 years old and out of warranty. Is there another bootup command I should use to access the ability to format the drive? The system just ejects my install disks so can't use the erase/format feature there. After that it would not allow me access to the TM but I am assuming the backups are intact and will be fully useable once I get a clean OS up and running.ĪNY other suggestion or options available before I erase and format the iMac HD and attempt full reinstall of 10.5?ĪNY other issues I should know about the 10.5.8 Combo Updater? Should I still use that for updating a clean 10.5 OS?Īnd the immediate question is HOW do I erase/format the HD in its current state? Not sure I even have a command line with the current panic screen. SO.I DO have a Time Machine external backup drive that was running normally until I made the original HD permission changes yesterday to the HD. At this point I attempted to reboot using the install disks but the system would eject the disk as soon as the gray screen appeared and then revert back to the same Panic screen messages with instructions to 'Restart'.BSD process name corresponding to currrent thread: Unknown.Panic screen mesages appeared on reboot with messages such as :.

I powered down assuming the update install had failed and tried to reboot.10 hours later at 8am this morning it was still stuck at 52% install At 10pm last night it was 52% installed and still installing.I selected only the Mac OS Combo update and ran install.First thing I did after logging in was run Software Update and the only OS update offered was the Mac OS X Combo 10.5.8 in addition to other programs ie.10.5 Reinstall successful, was able to logon to my account with existing settings.Reinstalled 10.5 from original disks using the 'Archive and Install' feature plus selected 'Preserve Users and Network Settings'.Still had 'successful repair' messages at end of both repair jobs. Had HUNDREDS of ACL, Group Differs and Permissions Differ messages. After endless failed bootups, booted from original 10.5 install disk, used Disk Utility to Repair Disk and Repair Permissions.(yeah now I know all about ACLs and endless bootup loops!) Changed permissions yesterday morning on the entire Macintosh HD including the enclosed Items to give all users (2), admins and everyone full read/write access.Ok.I know I created this whole nightmare myself but need to know if there are any other options at this point other than a total reformat of my Macintosh HD.
