I had already tested the new stick alone with memtest from applejack. And then sandwiched between 2 known good ones. 3 cycles of memtest each. I'll Startup again and run memtest again ... Since my last thread entry, I reseated the video card, and on CUDA, cmd-opt-P-R Startup, the 3rd - 5th partitions of my harddrive took a relatively long time to come up on my desktop. When I looked at the log, it appears the Spotlight indexes were corrupt in some form that Restarting would have corrected according to the log entry. I did the Terminal routine of turning off Spotlight for each partition, getting rid of the index, and reindexing, allowing it to run to completion under Leopard: #!/bin/sh sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/Leopard-10.5 sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/Leopard-10.5 sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Leopard-10.5 sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/Tiger-10.4.11 sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/Tiger-10.4.11 sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Tiger-10.4.11 sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/APPS sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/APPS sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/APPS sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/DOCS sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/DOCS sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/DOCS sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/Classic-9.2.2 sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/Classic-9.2.2 sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Classic-9.2.2 Maybe its really my partitioning scheme and Spotlight? I had also jumped to Tiger and back, updating my Tiger partition (with the latest iTunes, etc). And I believe I stopped the Spotlight indexing under Tiger, which may have caused the problem. Curious how Spotlight handles things when you go from one OS X to another (Leopard > Tiger > Leopard). I believe stopping it in Tiger using Privacy can cause corruption of the index files? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
