You mean the black screen of death? Take out battery, unplug, chant, put every thing back and CUDA or you stay dead? In my semi-hybrid system now I use the startup disk cp but I just used XPF to boot to Jaguar and everything was OK so far. But I'm not done tweating it with all add on SW to bring up the floppy drive, etc. so I'll use your tip when I install X on S900 #2. Thanks.
