-- SM 5000/300 MT; Newer G3/L2, 128MB memory, os9.1 I've been bothered by occasional hangs. Recently I added a SCSI "9.1 MB" disk planning to put a squeaky clean OS9.1 on it just to see... (For what it's worth, at the same time I updated my NAV 7 to the 12/1 definitions. I have now moved the NAV autoprotect extension out of the extensions folder on my "old" 9.1. It was never installed on my virgin 9.1) New disk is SCSI address 2. "Old" SCSI stuff is 3 thru 6.
Set up the new disk as HFS+ using hard disk speed tools. Got 8678 MB. Wrote to and read from the disk with no problems. Cleared the newly-written files off it. DiskTop shows no strange files on the disk. Did a "clean install" (no choice, really -- no "old" system stuff on the disk). Installation went as expected (Apple disk setup needed bypassing, as expected). Setup assistant ran as expected, and all went well (including running applications from the "old" disk) until a restart. Then got a gray screen freeze (before the happy mac appears). Deleted the NAV Scan files from all partitions. Unplugging the main power, reconnecting, and starting goes fine, but restart, either by menu or by three-finger salute, yields a freeze -- sometimes with the cursor present and moveable, sometimes with cursor immovable. For what it's worth, I have an ADB mouse and a PS/2 trackball. Some cursor behavior from both. This unpleasant behavior now occurs even when the "old" OS 9.1 or OS 8.6 partitions are the start-up ones. Haven't seen so many gray screens since the early days of the Zip drives. Help!!
