Q: I have a MacBook pro 3,1.  It suddenly quit responding and it was powered down.  Now when booting up the screen has various colored rectangles and the spinning wheel stops after about 1 minute.

I booted in verbose mode and it seems to hang at the eth1 device.  I tried booting with the command R but the spinning circle stops after about 1 minute.  Has anyone seen anything like this?  How should I best proceed?

Thanks Max
