Somehow a software update managed to stop my Mac Mini from booting. It’s stuck in the light gray background and dark grey apple logo screen — and I restarted it twice, now. Slowly, I’m starting to worry.
hit cmd-v to boot in verbose mode.

It ends in the following:
Bug: launchctl.c:3557 ... Running rack on the boot volume... Executing fsck_hfs ... launchctl: Please convert the following to launchd: /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist
Strange. I’ll try cmd-s...
Single user boot works... Going to try `fsck` manually.
`/sbin/fsck -fy` is running at the moment.
“The volume ... appears to be ok.”
Booting safe mode...
Running Disk Utility, verifying disk. Looks like `fsck` output. 😄 Will try repair disk permissions next and reboot.
Wohooo… problem fixed!
