Hi Roger: Have you tried to boot from a known good System Folder on an external SCSI HDD? During my troubles (which may not be over, yet) any powered up SCSI device would enable booting from the internal HDD.
What may have tipped the scale to normal behaviour was some combination of disconnecting the A/C adaptor (pressing the reset button 10-20 sec. more than once) and/or disconnecting the PRAM battery. What may have caused the original problem was possibly a partition I had set up: 8.1(for printing) and 8.6 (to run Mozilla using ethernet). The drivers on the 1.3 Gig internal HDD were getting confused or was it the ROM ? Then I made the ultimate blunder - updating the 8.6 with 9.1 and allowing the Option of updating the driver (the second partition). I am really suspecting that the 9.1 driver is a trouble-maker! It's worth noting that the System Enabler on the emergency Floppy Disk and the original CD (7.6) are not the same i.t.o. code. I would also recommend doing a fresh OS 7.6 install using floppies if nec. but the CD is my first choice. In general, I would try to use 3400 (i.e. PowerBook) specific installers if available. (All I have is one Disk Tools floppy.) George --- Roger Volk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > George, > > The sleep LED comes on after a normal start up > chime and no amount of reseting will clear it.
