I guess the subject states it best but more information helps. My Pismo G3/500/1gbRAM/10.2.6/20gb(stock)HD/Airport takes an incredibly long time to boot as well as shut down. I am startled at this due to its normally snappy OS 9 boot and shutdown processes. When my PowerMac 8600/g3-400/272mbRAM/10.2.6 using stock (and older) scsi hard drives beats the pants off of the Pismo, I know something is wrong.
I had noticed it first when Jaguar was initially installed. It has never gone away or improved. I did try the PRAM reset (several times in a row) several times but that made no appreciable difference. It is about 1:15sec grey w/apple screen and then in less than 15 seconds will be at login screen. Once the blue background hits, things are very snappy.
On shutting down, from login screen, it takes almost 45 seconds to go black. From desktop it takes as long as 1:20sec. This to me is ridiculous. In OS 9 it would shut down before the trackpad button had even gone 'click'.
Any helpful ideas? Thanks for list brain power.
I have a Lombard and a 12" PB, my wife has a Pismo, we use them variously connected to physical networks and via wifi. The Powerbook takes much, much longer to boot than the others. It can sit at the 'waiting for network initiailisation' point in the boot process for a minute or more. The G3 machines just zip straight through. It doesn't matter whether they're booting into the same environment they were in when they were shut down (ie, connected or wireless) or not. The OSs are similar - 10.2.4 on the Lombard, 10.2.3 or 4 on the Pismo, and 10.2.6 on the PB, but it was the same on the PB when it was running 10.2.4.
So no helpful suggestions, I'm afraid, just that it may be a widespread issue.
