I have been using Xpostfacto 2.2 for about 6 months now. It is a wonderful tool that has allowed me to extend the life of an old PowerMac 7500 for a few more years (upgraded with a XLR8 350 G4 MPe card). Thanks Ryan!
However, two days ago it stopped working. I always ran into trouble when we had a power outage. Upon power up it would boot to MacOS 7.5.5. I would then have to boot to a Disk First Aid diskette so that I had access to HFS+ drives and could select the correct Startup Volume. That would allow me to boot to MacOS 9.2.2 where I could run Xpostfacto. That all still works ... but when I run Xpostfacto I end up with the Spinning Beachball of Death. I seem to actually complete the boot sequence. It starts up runs through Tuning System, Checking Disks, Starting XLR8, Cleaning Up, Configuring Network, Initializing Network, Starting System Log. It then moves to the step where the screen clears and the Login window would appear. At this point is where the problem occurs. The Spinning Beachball of Death comes up and no amount of waiting helps. I have tried reinstalling extensions, and reinstalling BootX via the Xpostfacto menu. I have tried booting verbose, some error messages but it gets through them all. I have tried booting standalone, works, I can even fsck and mount the boot drive. When I exit to go into multi-user it does the same thing. Any ideas on how I might correct this?
