Hello-

I'm having some issues with running AHT on my Early 2008 Mac Pro so I can diagnose some USB port issues. It is running Lion 10.7.3, so I had to copy the .diagnostics folder from the original Install disc that shipped with the computer, to the hard drive using sudo cp -R. After holding "D" at startup, AHT begins to load with the little computer icon and loading bar, then it ejects the disc and displays a blue screen for only a split second that says:


"'apple_hardware_test.acm' exited with 0xffffffff
Status: 0xFFFFFFFF
efiboot loaded from device: Acpi (PNP0A03.0)/Pci(1F12)/SATA(2.0/HD(Part3.Sig24A996E9 [area cut off because I had to record the screen on my phone]
boot file path: \com.apple.recovery.boot\boot.efi"

And then proceeds to boot into Lion Recovery.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Michael
