I thought we once dealt with long blue screen durations. If so, point me there as I couldn't find it.
If not, here's the problem. I'm experiencing extremely long startups today and this is what I've done.
Booted from a clone and, after very long boot process:
Rebuilt the directory with Disk Warrior Disconnected power to reset SMC Cleared PRAM
Still got very long startup so I reinstalled 10.6.8 Combo.
After restart was still:
Blue screen 50 seconds Chime followed by grey screen for 1:55 Followed by Blue Screen for 8 minutes.
At this point I'm not going to turn it off again without some guidance.
Thanks
