Re: Is it memory or software?
1)Download onyx,run the automation process. 2)IF the problem still there try the memory with AHT that came with your computer. 2)If AHT doesn't report any error,test each dimm,in the available slots and then all of them in different slots.You want to pass a rubber in the memory connections. 3)If everything is ok,maybe you have some bad capacitors in your emac or something.

Re: problems with AGP video in sawtooth
The sleep problem is common to certain flashed cards,I have a 6200 card and it has the same problem, as probably every flashed 6200. About the other problems: First of all,are you sure you have a sawtooth?I ask this because,I though I had a sawtooth (400MHz single G4) and in fact I have a Gigabit Ethernet (with the small adc connector on the board) and if it is your case you must tape pins 3 and 11 on the card... Keep in mind that some cards have problems with MacOS X under 10.4.3 and take a lot of time too boot to 10.5 because of temp sensors (the case of my 6200).

Re: MDD problem
Hello, I just tried to start my MDD another time, this time I held down the start button for a longer time and lo and behold, at least I got the same situation as before. The red LED on the mobo is lit. The last thing I did was replace the single DIMM I left in and connect another disk. Nothing looks burnt as far as I can see.

My Quicksilver
Hmmm, now when my machine shuts itself off it leaves nothing in Console to tell me why. Yesterday I left it alone for about 2 hours and it shut itself off.

Re: My g5 is a snob

I think it helps if you press the CUDA button before booting after each time you add or change RAM. I think your 1 GB sticks are probably good.

I've worked on a couple of eMacs in local schools with similar problems. I've run Apple Hardware Tests, Apple Service Diagnostic tests, reinstalled OS X, cleaned out all the dust bunnies, swapped RAM sticks, run Memtest overnight, run DiskWarrior, yada yada yada. Nothing fixes the problem, but nothing is found to be wrong, except the crash log points to memory problems. Found a handful of bad capacitors on one eMac's logic board (1.25 GHz). It was really acting up, doing all sorts of strange, non-repeated things. Replaced all the caps on the logic board, and the software problem went away. The bad cap problem tends to affect 1.25 GHz eMacs the most, which coincides with bad capacitor problems reported by other electronics manufacturers in the 2004-2005 time frame. You don't say, but my assumption is that you've got a 1.25 GHz eMac. I've not seen bad cap problems with 700 MHz-1 GHz USB 1.1 eMacs, but I have seen the problem in USB 2.0 1 GHz and 1.25 GHz eMacs. I've only dealt with a handful of 1.42 GHz eMacs, and they didn't have any capacitor problems -- at the time. Trouble is, caps can be bad and not show any visible sign of failure, such as leaking, bulging tops, tilted to one side from bottom leaks, etc. Capacitors on eMac logic boards are relatively easy to replace and there are only a dozen or so to replace. Most of the work is in disassembling the beast enough to extract the logic board. So, if all else fails, try the capacitor replacement solution.

When you Google search Read Only Memory Exception which is the error you cited, the ONLY results you'll see is other people with Adobe software problems. Unless you start seeing ALL programs having similar problems, it's NOT a hardware issue, it's an Adobe software issue. -- 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.

I don't think you're getting this. Your test doesn't help, and doesn't address the problem. Adobe installs items into your System software. When you run this software on another System, it's NOT THE SAME as running it on your eMac's system. There could be old incompatible files, or corrupted files that aren't present on this other Mac, it's not the same. One solution is to search out ALL Adobe files on you Mac and delete them, and then reinstall the Adobe software fresh. Ran Onyx, and it had no effect. As I explained in the initial post, I ran AHT for 14 hours straight on extended test. It found nothing. Yes, it's NOT a hardware issue. It's an Adobe software issue. -- 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.

Re: Is it memory or software?
It is a 1.25ghz eMac, and I recently upgraded the memory to a full gig. Are the capacitors easy to get to, and can they be changed DIY?

I've worked on a couple of eMacs in local schools with similar problems. I've run Apple Hardware Tests, Apple Service Diagnostic tests, reinstalled OS X, cleaned out all the dust bunnies, swapped RAM sticks, run Memtest overnight, run DiskWarrior, yada yada yada. Nothing fixes the problem, but nothing is found to be wrong, except the crash log points to memory problems. Found a handful of bad capacitors on one eMac's logic board (1.25 GHz). It was really acting up, doing all sorts of strange, non-repeated things. Replaced all the caps on the logic board, and the software problem went away. The bad cap problem tends to affect 1.25 GHz eMacs the most, which coincides with bad capacitor problems reported by other electronics manufacturers in the 2004-2005 time frame. You don't say, but my assumption is that you've got a 1.25 GHz eMac. I've not seen bad cap problems with 700 MHz-1 GHz USB 1.1 eMacs, but I have seen the problem in USB 2.0 1 GHz and 1.25 GHz eMacs. I've only dealt with a handful of 1.42 GHz eMacs, and they didn't have any capacitor problems -- at the time. Trouble is, caps can be bad and not show any visible sign of failure, such as leaking, bulging tops, tilted to one side from bottom leaks, etc. Capacitors on eMac logic boards are relatively easy to replace and there are only a dozen or so to replace. Most of the work is in disassembling the beast enough to extract the logic board. So, if all else fails, try the capacitor replacement solution.

Re: DHCP Server??

I have tried building the ISC source code (I have Developer Tools installed) but it fails with errors. Does anyone have any experience building/running a DHCP server? Are there binaries somewhere for OS X? I don't want to have to install DarwinPorts. Hmm, it's been a while but I compiled and installed it without any difficulty (IIRC). I did it on Tiger though. You did both the ./configure and make steps right? Darwin Ports isn't that big a deal, I have it and MacPorts installed on some machines and they mostly work well. Assuming you get it installed you might want to consider WebMin for setting it up. I have both DHCP and BIND installed on my server and use WebMin to configure them. It works very well. The other thing I did was set up /Library/StartupItems entries for both so they'd start at boot time.
