Hi:

I have an older G4 450 that I'm trying to close to a newer G4 1Ghz. I connected the machines together through target disc mode, used SD to perform the close. When I try to boot the 1Ghz, all is well until we get to the log in screen. Regardless of if I enter the right credentials or ones I know are incorrect, I get the beachball. I've left it for up to thirty mins with no dice.

The webserver is running fine on the 1Ghz, I can even connect over and browse the blogs and forums on that machine, just can't log in.

Help?

Thanks

Have you tried starting in "Safe Boot" mode? (Hold down Shift during power on.)
