kerry we need the info from the script output. Click on the Boot Info Script link in my signature. Download it & then move it to the desktop. Then run that command from terminal please. Post the contents of the RESULTS.txt file generated by the script.
when posting large amount of text to the forum highlight the text then click the # sign on the top toolbar (see pic @ bottom - note my pointer. That is the # sign. This will prevent that text from taking up mega space on the page). It works like this:
