I should note to those that might read this and that might be suffering
from the above symptoms, this computer finally died and so I assume that
the mentioned behavior was symptomatic of failing hardware. The iMac DV
does boot anymore. The from lights up and that's about it.
I spent some time read
Ok, the hardware work-around worked for a bit, but now the problem is
back. Clearing my pram didn't help, either. I'm at a loss. The only
thing that helps is taking out the USB peripherals. The thing that has
me is that I honestly doubt it's the externals (signaling the reboot)
because the HUB filt
"2. Could be corrupt firmware" should be "2. Could be corrupt PRAM".
I'm working on fixing the above and will post a link when done, but
suffice to say that the powered USB hub fix works and that I no longer
think changing the shutdown would work.

I know it's been a few years and considering that Canonical dumped PPC,
this probably isn't being worked upon. Gad, I assume as much as this bug
has been around 2006. I'm writing this in 2009. The only real chance of
it being solved is reporting it to Debian, which has never stopped
supporting PPC,
To furtehr complicate the keyboard and firmware theories, I get the
problem when I manually cast "sudo shutdown -h now" but not when I
shutdown from gdm or perhaps gnome or xfce. Unless basic unix commands
have changed in the last few years I've been away from Gnu-Linux, the
"-h" should still tell
In some rare cases, the mac doesn't power on again (with an efficiëntie of 1/40)
The same problem happens when I use another usb keyboard (not the
original mac keyboard with the powerbuton).
It doesn't happen with a blue imac g3 500 mhz.

So someone should join the duplicates.
I don't have no more access to the machine, but can confirm that the
problem reappeared even after the deinstallation of pbuttonsd.
IIRC the reboot did not happen when i disconnected the keyboard from the
USB port before the machine was completly shut down.
I created a bug report (Bug #57069) some months ago (please read), which
describes the same problem. It didn't help when uninstalling ppbuttonsd.
Feisty stll have this problem.
