Inklin Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hello all, Problems started today when i tried re-installing tiger on the ibook G3, it is one of the models with the graphics chip problem, where it freezes and the screen gets lines across it. I can live with that but it happened whilst installing OS X, it wont boot from CD now and all i get after the apple grey screen (no spinning icon) screen is a black screen that says Localhost:/ root#. Is there any way i can stop this and go back to installing OS X? sorry if its something simple i am a noob to apple but pressing C does nothing, just the grey screen with the apple and then black with Localhost:/ root# I Want to try and get this repaired as it would make a nice netbook kind of thing :) Many thanks, Ricky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
