Hmmm... makes me even more suspicious that I might have a failing hard drive in there.That's not an impossibility at all. I had two Apple OEM HD's fail before I expected it. One in a 2000 vintage G3 iMac died at 23 months and one in a fall 1999 vintage PowerMac at 27 months. Replaced the HD's and all was well.
I am stumped. All sorts of strangeness going on with this machine. So, I am going to try putting another hard drive in it. I can boot from the flaky 10.2.8 partition. I will try using Carbon Copy Cloner to restore the Good B&W's Jaguar partition onto the new drive.A very wise choice in view of the problems. The HD is a likely culprit.
Ron bought me a rubber chicken today. Now if I only had a tiara. I understand that you can do all sorts of computer voodoo if you dance around the machine in your underwear, wearing a tiara, and waving a rubber chicken. Lacking a tiara, I think I will just flog it with the rubber chicken and install a new hard drive.Don't forget the incantations. The rubber chicken is useless without invoking the spirits of 1 Infinite Loop. :-)
Good luck,
