I had a power outage on my mac mini 1.1 running 10.6.8 Server. Since the outage, the machine requires a hard reset (holding the power button for 10 seconds producing an extended beep) to restart. Otherwise it starts to reboot, the Apple logo appears, but I either get a panic message or a frozen cursor. Everything is fine after rest, except the system will not restart after the next shutdown.
I thought I had a hardest error and changed the start up disk, but the result is the same. I now have two different disks I can use to start up, and each runs fine until the next shut down. Something in the reset seems to make whatever the problem is go away.
Any ideas? I am clueless at this point. I am posting this message for both Mac Mini and 10.6.8 users.
Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion, Server Product
