I recently installed the OS 10.2.8 Update Combo onto a Mac G4, which was previously running OS 10.2.3. After installing the Update Combo, I can't view anything on the computer?!?!?!? I tried rebooting the computer several times, but the computer just goes to a blank desktop window. No menu commands and desktop items are viewable. I restarted the computer holding down the X key and rebooting from a system disk, but nothing. I tried reinstalling the system, but the hard drive isn't present when trying to select a drive to install the system onto. I was able to run disk repair, but nothing happened. Does anyone know how to fix this problem??? http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosxupdatecombo_10_2_8.html
Have you tried booting from the Install Cd and then repairing permissions?
