When I try to start up, (TiBook G4, Mac OS X 10.2.6), my laptop seizes up during startup at "waiting for authentication services" or else it freezes "waiting for activation services".
the first time I saw this I thought the permissions needed repair. But I can't repair permissions because I have to boot up first on that disk. And I can't complete startup. Catch 22.
Running fsck, DiskUtility, DiskWarrior make no difference. All this happened two weeks ago. So in the end I reinstalled the software from the CD.
Today it's happening again - "waiting for authentication services" when I try to start up. Does any one know what is going on, and what to do about it?
Since I reinstalled Mac OS X 10.2 last time this happened, I suppose the problem must be some non-Apple application I installed. The extra apps I have run recently are Cocktail and Windowshade. Can one of them cause this sort of problem?
