Panther Upgrade Breaks Permission Repair on Lombard

2004-02-08 Thread E.B. Cap Schwartz
I recently upgraded to Panther (10.3.2), and it's very nice. I'm impressed with how much faster my Lombard seems. Only one problem: When I run the Disk Utility to repair permissions, it runs for about a minute, then hangs. The screen becomes dimmer, then dimmer still. I don't get the Kernel Panic

I've had it happen on a couple of PowerBooks. It's caused by the battery contacts momentarily breaking contact. The computer looses power so briefly that it doesn't go into power down but it does completely interrupt the processor. The only way out is to restart. I suspected this too,

Is it possible for a li-on battery for a Lombard (M7318) to be completely and forever dead? I've tried battery reset and get a box that tells me it's reset and to charge it, but the computer is not seeing it, before or after the reset. If it is forever dead, can it be rebuilt? Thanks

How much RAM do you have installed? If you have 2x256=512, I'd suggest removing 256 and trying to repair permissions again. I've found that my Lombard will not tolerate 512 MB with Panther. Jaguar didn't mind it, but Panther will eventually crash every time I install the second 256 MB chip.
