Persistent blue screen startup
Initially the switch went smoothly. The first 2 times, I had my external FW with Tiger attached and started up with the option key down and selected the internal Leopard system. Then I removed the ext FW drive and when the iMac booted up it took forever with the spinning timer before going to a blue screen that also took 5-10 minutes before finally getting onto the log-in screen.
Once booted up I found I couldn't get it to recognise the FW drive on any of the ports. I took the FW drive to another iMac and it booted fine with the same cable. My USB drives are mounting OK.
I also couldn't connect to my VDSL modem via ethernet, but finally, with some trouble, connecting via my Airport Extreme. I still can not connect to the ethernet.
It seems to me on boot up it is possibly looking for something (possibly on the other drive) a long time and something has gone AWOL in the communications that is effecting the FireWire and ethernet but not the USB 2.0.
I tried force quitting during the slow boot up to try and read what the problem could be in the report, but I can't make head or tail of it.
Could someone please guide me as to steps I can take to isolate the problem. Possibly from some legacy software that transferred with CarbonCopy.
