If it helps, I can also successfully boot into Single User mode, where I have access to a sh terminal. The FireWire timeout and the exceeded memory limit related to software updates. So, by my understanding there are two main issues here, possibly. IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0 IOConsoleUsers: time(0) 0->0, lin 0, llk 1, Hfs: unmount initiated on Recovery HD on device disk1s3īusy timeout, (60s): ´IOFireWireLocalNode´ Hfs: mounted Recovery HD on device disk1s3 I booted using verbose mode and the boot seems to hang at this point: busy timeout, (60s): ´IOFireWireLocalNode´ĮXC_RESOURCE -> sftwareupdated exceeded mem limit: ActiveSoft 500 MB (non-fatal) Just display, keyboard and mouse connected to the Mac.įunny thing is I had an old SSD where a Windows distro was installed and if I plug it to the mac via USB adapter and select its EFI file by holding the Option key during boot, it goes right into a fully functional Windows environment, making me think that there is no hardware problem with it. I also tried safe boot, resetting NVRAM and PRAM, and an installation USB thumb drive. I tried Internet Recovery, both using Option+ Command+ R and Shift+ Option+ Command+ R (however, this last option yields a slightly different outcome: it gets stuck in the screen with the apple logo, but instead of the full bar, I get the spinning wheel). I tried to boot into the Recovery partition and the same thing happens. Is is worth mentioning that the bar progresses relatively fast until it reaches the middle and then it goes really slowly until the end. The Apple logo appears and the progress bar underneath goes all the way to the end, but it does not go beyond that point.
I verified that everything was working and then turned off the machine.
When it arrived I turned it on and it booted regularly into macOS High Sierra, since this is the last version supported by this model. I bought a used Mac Mini mid-2010 server.
