This isnt directly related, but I remember a similar thing happening with Portables when they were put to Sleep and had a version of HD SC Setup later than 7.5.x was used. However, have you tried clearing the parameter RAM by holding Command-Option-P-R on startup?

I recently bought a PowerBook Duo 230, with 8 Mb of RAm and System 7.1. I immediately installed an 8 Mb RAM chip I had lying around (I still have 2 more, if anyone's interested), making the RAM a more usable 12 Mb, and installed OS 7.6, and then the 7.6.1 update. Now the problem. The computer doesn't turn off. Not from the menu, not from the Power On/Off button, it just sits there, doing nothing. Sometimes an "Illegal instruction" bomb window appears, if I click restart it just sits there. Sometimes it freezes, and in ALL cases I have to disconnect the power cord. I discarded almost all the preferences, with no luck. Please notice that I did a clean install, then deleted the prior system. However, I couldn't update the HD driver as the Hard Drive was formatted by another, non-Apple program. So the HD Driver is my main suspect, but I do not know how to update it. Maybe with my OS 8 CD? Or my OS 9 CD? Any help, suggestion, advice, etc., will be greatly appreciated. Best regards.
