Hi all, I have a powerbook g4 550 running all the time Debian unstable with kernel 2.6.8-powerpc and OSX sometimes, mainly for spike.
For the last week or so, when I start the machine instead of having the yaboot screen appears I get a little folder with a question mark inside... This doesn't happen every time I start the machine. When it happened the first time, I booted with a debian bootable install cd and the hard drive was not recognized. (???) I booted with the Apple Hardware Test, run all the tests and it didn't find any problems. I waited a couples of hours and then the machine booted fine. ????? I have been trying to identify a pattern but no chance. I use my laptop everyday and the problem never occurred in the morning at startup. So far, I had the problem almost systematically after I leave work and then go to some place and boot the machine. Note that I always do a clean shutdown. I then wait a couple of hours and then it boot fine. What could it be, firmware? hard drive? Is there any software to test the machine? Any advices, ideas, would be great. Thank you.
