I appreciate all of the helpful advice provided on this list... while none of the suggestions fixed the problem, I did learn a bit more about how the OS works, especially Open Firmware.
The solution that did finally work was to put the old "Apple Provided" hard drive back into the laptop and reinstall the OS on it. I was able to copy everything back on to the drive and install the 10.2.1 update on it. Wish I knew why the other drive worked fine under 10.2 and earlier, but I can live with this (the newer drive was faster than this one and a little bit larger, but not enough to justify the troubles it gave me!) I'd been meaning to get an external case for the leftover drive, and this "experience" gave me the justification to do so now! Again, thanks for the helpful advice! -- Aaron Magill ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
