Now all I get is the international 'slashed-circle' sign a couple
minutes after the grey apple...

Any ideas as to cause?

...And cure?

Pointers, advice, links?

Thanks,
Joan

Tried zapping PRAM
and "reset-nvram" and then "reset-all" in the open firmware window
followed by repairing permissions...
it worked once to get 10.2 up, but now no longer works at all, even on
a jag clean install...

Lucky you. I got a grey screen with some pixel garbage in the upper
left corner after that update.

Make sure that you really are doing a clean update. You need to replace
all kernel files, all cached update files, and the disk's driver.

Thanks for the link, I was unsucessful in finding this kind of info on
my own.

Unfortunately, I spent the entire day performing every fix mentioned,
and things are worse than before. Now all I can get to is the hash in
the CLI.

Does the latter imply reformatting the entire drive? Or can the items
be dragged from one place to another?
