GSOD, troubleshoot suggestions?

[canglan]

Hi guys,

I have encountered the Gray Screen of Death on my Macbook Pro. It stalls in the gray loading screen.

I have already performed the following tasks:

- reset PRAM/NVRAM
- repair permissions (from the Leopard installation disk)
- repair disk (from the Leopard installation disk)
- disconnect all peripherals

Still no go.

Booting using the verbose mode shows the following errors:

rpc.statd[29]: Faile3d to contact host 192.168.0.10: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to send

configd[14]: InterfaceNamer: timed out waiting for IOKit to quiesce

configd[14]: InterfaceNamer: No network stack object

The first line is repeated for a number of times and seems to be going forever.

192.168.0.10 is my home server, which is fine by the way (I can access it from my Windows desktop).

I can't recall doing anything extreme since my last reboot. The Macbook Pro is my primary workstation, and is rarely shutdown/rebooted, I always put it to sleep. Today when I woke it up, my bluetooth mouse wouldn't connect, so I rebooted the laptop... GSOD is all I get from this point.

Any suggestions to more troubleshooting? I really don't want to make a fresh install (or even archive and install)...

Thanks in advance!

Hmmmm.... tried safe boot again and it worked, then rebooted and everything is back to normal!

i suggest you start to backup your files. it could happen again and a lot more worse.
