When a Mac boots up, and you get the "No Smoking" (circle with a slash through it), what exactly does that mean?
The exact reason is that the boot timeout has expired (i.e. your root device was not discovered within the alloted time by the kernel - 60 seconds IIRC).

BTW, is this timeout new in Leopard? This kext has worked on 10.0 through 10.4 without any boot problems.

Thanks,
