Command-key and Dock problem after cold-boot via SCSI

[Matti Haveri]

If I cold-boot my 8600/XLR8 G4 450 via SCSI into 10.2.6/XPostFacto 
2.2.5, and use some app (like check mail via Eudora 5.2.1), then a 
speaker icon flashes on the screen and the Mac's sound is muted. 
After this the command-key doesn't work properly (I can't select or 
unselect items in Eudora's lists etc. Also other apps are affected). 
Also the Dock starts to behave oddly: when I quit apps, their icons 
retain their triangle as if they were still active until I click them 
on the Dock.

Everything reverts to normal after I log out/in.

This all started when I moved my boot partition from a [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
Tempo ATA100 to an [EMAIL PROTECTED] SCSI.

It also seems that via cold-boot the Mac starts to boot much quicker 
into 10.2.6 via the SCSI disk than via the ATA disk or into 9.1 via 
SCSI. I suspect the intial cold-boot memory test is omitted if I 
cold-boot into 10.2.6 via SCSI.

I have zapped PRAM via cold-boot and I also tried to turn off 
10.2.6's User interface sound effects and Volume keys feedback via 
the Sound panel, but the problem persists.

Has anyone else experienced this weird problem? Is there something 
else I should try to stop this minor annoyance?

(I'd rather boot into X via SCSI because I can't cold-boot via Sonnet 
Tempo ATA100 with the XLR8 upgrade card. Sonnet told me that this is 
a limitation of the XLR8 card which only supports warm-boot into X 
via Tempo ATA100).
