Hello gang, Happy to post a query that is not list-nanny issue related :-) I recently swapped for a G4 QuickSilver (800MHz DP/1.5Gb RAM, stock HD and video-NVidia Twinview).
I installed a new copy of Tiger on the HD, upped it to 10.4.11 and off I went - it operates perfectly fine except for one issue: it will not shut down. When asked to shut down - either via the menu or keystroke (command-option-control-eject key), the unit shuts down, but within 1 second proceeds to start up again. I have: zapped PRAM/ NVRAM, reset the board, swapped out for a newer PRAM battery, installed/ran Onyx and gave it a good cleaning; I even added a second hard drive, installed OS 9.2.2, ran from it and shut down - same issue! How do I shut it down? I let it restart, and after the bong, before anything starts loading, I flip the switch on the surge suppressor - hardly an optimum method I know that this issue was talked about earlier re: a Sawtooth and an unsupported Keyspan USB card (neither the case here). And, I haven't yet tried terminal-level commands (will do tomorrow). Beyond that, any thoughts? Maybe the power board is wonky? Thank you for any consideration/wisdom.
