Booting issues need some help

[tony535]

Hi my Custom mac pro won't boot into SL anymore.

The following components makeup my system
Motherboard: GA-X58A-UD3R V2 BIOS FB
CPU: I7 2.8GHZ
RAM: 12GB cosair
Video Card: Gigabyte HD5770
HD's: Samsung 1 TB for SL and various applications
Samsung 1 TB for Time Machine Backup
Samsung 1 TB for additional backup and storage
SATA DVD burner
Apple keyboard and wireless mouse with a kensington bluetooth adapter

Before this new issue started, the only thing i had a problem with was unable to display image on screen from wake. I get a blank screen so to prevent that, I set the system to never sleep.

Now this is what I see on screen after it does its initial Bios check stuff

It looks like you're booting from iBoot?

i just burn a copy of iboot, on my pc tried booting with it no luck. i also tried a copy of iboot support and i get the same message. if i try to boot without iboot or iboot support, all i see is this symbol -\ a little dash with a black slash ontop of it.

No ideas what you did to it before this began happening?
