- So basically you're stuck in a reboot cycle? Try booting the machine without
- startup sequence; then move some of those files off that partition by shell and
- try if it will boot now.
-
- If you have a current version of the OS, you can perform this boot by pressing
- both mouse buttons at the same time, and keeping them pressed while turning on
- the machine until you see the Boot Menu appear. There you'll see a button
- allowing you to boot without running the startup-sequence.
-
- Of course freeing up space like this is only a makeshift solution. There's
- something strange going on and you should check your s:startup-sequence and
- s:user-startup to find out what it is.
