I installed 10.3 and updates (at the time) on a pismo. Worked fine for 2 weeks
then one day I got the wonderful question mark. I started up from the CD
and tried to repair disk permissions, but disk first aid could not find an install to repair.
So I reformat and reinstall. Everything fine for a week and the same thing happens.
I replaced the hard drive thinking it had gone south, and install 10.2.8 and have had no problems since. Out of curiosity I installed the same 12 Gig HD from the Pismo (the one I thought was bad) into my Lombard and reformat but install 10.2.8 this time.
It's been running without a hitch for 4 months!

Amber,
Food for thought: I too was having problems with one of my PB's and
decided to try something: I installed OS X Panther on my external
Firewire drive; the drive that was meant to simply back up all of my
data so I could re-format my main internal drive. What I found was
quite disturbing. . .the exact same problems occurred running from the
external drive only after about 30 minutes in operation! While this
may not be true for you, I'm still at a loss as what is causing my
issues, which is odd delays in some of my apps. Just food for thought.
Hi Zoltan,
Although I did not initially realize it, I am now thinking that there is a pretty good chance that Panther may be responsible or partly responsible for the problems I have been having. I have had incredibly slow start ups, endless crashes, and significant delays in some of the applications.
Then the disk drive stopped working properly. I am hoping that the erase will work and my PB will be back to working like it was before. If not, I will know it is a hardware issue.
