Progress bar during grey boot screen (was: what the hell is this ?)

[0987246]

Hi guys,

I just restarted my MacPro2,1 (8 core 3 GHz, snow leopard)
and well... I saw this bar that I haven't seen before
I was wondering what the hell this is because it also took longer to restart (the progress bar thingy)

I took a picture of it with my phone:
Picture!

anyone know what this is/might-be ?


thnx

If its not FW update it could be doing a Fdsck. Corrupted boot disk. Needed a clean install, luckily Time machine saved the day
