Yes, I figured this one out a few weeks ago.
The culprit is a Norton file called "SymDC.kext"
You need to remove it. You can either boot into root in OSX or Boot
into OS 9 and find the file on your OSX disk. The path to find it is:
System/Library/Extensions/SynDC.kext
Then put Norton Utilities in the trash and you will never have any more
troubles...Only half kidding ;-) It has been a long time since Norton
has been a trouble free helpful app too bad. It is still ok to run
Norton from the CD in OS 9 on the OSX hard disk. You do need to have
version 6.03 and 6.04 is better but not a free upgrade. Installing
Norton 7.x in OSX is just trouble IMHO. Sorry as that is the only way
it can be ran on an old World Machine but Norton 6.03 & 4 does
everything you need from OS 9.x
Disk Warrior is the Utility to have if your only going to have one
though most people could also use Speed disk form Norton as it is the
best de-fragger App. Will S
