I have a bad feeling about this... After a brief power outage yesterday I now cannot start up my Mac desktop. I get a nice chime but, a few seconds later, it chimes again and just keeps repeating the startup chime. Holding keys- option, shift-command-option-delete, command-option-o-f, etc.- has no effect, it just keeps repeating the startup chime. I've had a number of different Mac desktops over the years and I've never run across this phenomenon. Can anyone help me figure out what the problem might be? The computer was connected to a UPC battery backup surge protector at the time and I was using it; as soon as I saw the UPC alert I went to the Apple menu and shut the machine down normally. The computer is an Intel-based MacPro (1,1) but I am wondering if anyone ever had a similar problem, say with a G5 running Leopard?
