Re: Panther Upgrade Breaks Permission Repair on Lombard

[Dave Bonhoff]

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.  I'm going to try a 128 MB shortly.  Who would have 
thought that an OS upgrade would require a hardware downgrade???  [:^(

Testing with various RAM configurations has shown that both of my RAM 
chips are good, but if I install both 256 chips, Panther eventually 
looses control of the RAM and will have a video crash.  Repairing 
permissions is a sure fire way to induce this 'feature' (what the 
developers at work call bugs).  I'm tired of testing and have resigned 
myself to 256+128 as the max under Panther.  After running with 256 for 
the past few weeks , this should be enough for my needs.

Good Luck!
Dave
433 Lombard running Panther - yes, I've overclocked it and it is just 
fine, get past it!

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 message, but the only thing that thaws the freeze is a 
restart.

Any suggestions much appreciated.
