I have listed this as Off Topic because the machine I am working on is a G3/400B&W. However, I know of at least one SuperMac user who has experienced the same problem with Desktop Rebuild. I posted the question on the G3 List and the PCI List, but have received no suggestions. Since this is such a friendly and knowledgeable group...
I am having a problem with Desktop Rebuild destroying my ability to boot from OS 9 into OS 10.
This is on a machine with a freshly formatted hard drive and a clean install. All I had on the machine was OS 9.2.2 and 10.3.2 (each on a separate partition). When I booted into 9, it immediately started rebuilding the desktop on the OS 10 partition. The second or two it takes to click on the "Stop" button is enough to destroy the OS 10 desktop.
Nothing seems to fix this "broken" desktop issue. I have tried fsck, Disk Utility, Repair Permissions, rebuilding the OS 10.3 desktop from inside ten's system preferences and Disk Warrior 3. The only recovery I have found is to reformat the drive and start over. I am now on my third "start over" and the problem persists.
Anyone have any insight into this puzzle? Or, any suggestions as to how to stop the Desktop Rebuild from running on its own.
