Hi Jfs, Bob I believe that what Bob has suggested is working. I have not restored the vendor partition yet. I ran out of time. I think the vendor is the file system. It partially boots abs then kernel panic sets in which is more than it has done in a long time. I have been writing notes as I go through this in case it happens to someone else. I'll let you know tonight if a copy of your backups is beneficial.
