Mac Pro boots in verbose mode

[DenBeke]

Sometime my Mac Pro 4,1 boots in verbose mode (or single user mode, I don't really know the difference, but it asks to type 'exit' to boot the system).

This it not always, but it happens often.
Should I be worried?
Can I do something to make it always boot as it has to do?

You could run a disk check and verify the permissions on your boot drive.

You do this via Disk Utility in your Applications folder.

I'll give that a try, however I don't believe it will help. Because It's just a fresh OS X installation, and in fact I had the same problem also with another installation...

But we never know... 🙂

In the Console I've read the following lines (of course lots of other lines above, but they didn't seem too interesting...)
Is this helpful?

Looks like the disk from that code....It may be failing...I guess pulling it and testing in a caddy might give you some more info, but that's what it looks like.

Resetting drive permissions didn't work...
