I disabled the network interface and booted to regular mode, which worked, though there was a long delay after the gray screen with the Apple logo disappeared during which the screen was just white with the spinning beach ball of death cursor. After awhile, this was replaced with the usual desktop, though the menu bar was missing all menus on the left except the menu. The Spotlight menu on the right indicated it was indexing the drive. Eventually the normal menus appeared. Console said the system had detected an inconsistency in the /.fsevents |

Eventually the normal menus appeared. Console said the system had detected an inconsistency in the /.fseventsd database so it had deleted it. I rebooted into normal mode, which booted up with normal speed. However, rebooting to Safe Mode still does not work, so there is still something not quite right. |
