Yes, I tried safe mode. Hung the same way. I've never used AppleJack but it looks like it may be time to give it a try. The current version doesn't go back further than 10.4, but there is an old AppleJack for Jaguar+Panther version out on sourceforge. I may try that. I have to try to plan what I'm going to do before I work with this system because there is no (usable IMO) internet access where it is located. ;-) FWIW, I don't think there is anything to see in the system logs. I compared the log message from when the hung occurred to ones from a successful boot from the internal hard drive and didn't see anything obvious evil. HOWEVER, it looks as though the hang occurs just when the startup process is attempting to kick off a some program from Norton Utilities. I'm tempted to just trash anything with Norton in the title in the Applications folder. It's a clone of the actual hard drive so no permanent damage would be done ... ;-) -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
