Milady Powerbook is causing me problems right at the moment. Problem 1 is an inability to accept discs in the SuperDrive; problem 2, which manifested spontaneously while I was taking the recommended steps to solve problem 1, is that it won’t boot.
Well, that’s not quite true. It boots just fine in single-user mode, which means that at least my filesystem is still in place and all. In verbose mode, almost everything seems to go fine — all the network services and everything — but there seems to be some sort of problem with the hard drive, because I keep getting the message disk0s9: 0x8 (UNDEFINED) popping up.
Anyhow, the upshot for those of you that care is that my access to my usual e-mail account is likely to be sporadic for the next few days, and I’m probably not going to be visible online much. If you need to reach me, either my work address or the one described to the right of this post should work fine for that. Or phone. The possibilities, while not endless, and certainly manifold.
(Oh, and those of you reading who are more l33t than I am about such things: any idea what’s going on? Is this something that I can fix in single-user mode, or am I going to have to find a service provider?
