What I was/am concerned about is because it was a corrupted file, the

problems began IMMEDIATELY after the first install. Right now I have the
Sonnet CP installed and no powerlogix cp running, I hope. You see when
booted in OS9.1 and when you run Norton Fast Find on the OSX disk looking
for powerlogix, it shows many more hidden files still present in the X disk
that don't show up while in X even after deinstall. Interesting tidbit.
Re your follow up post, I have a Sonnet G4 Carrier not a zif on the xlr8.
But the problems began with the bad file install and before any clocking
took place. Will plan for the fsck utility.
Thanks, Dave
lots of snips taken...
Ok I have a bit better idea on things.
I've not tried this but is there any way to delete the files you can see in OS 9.x using Norton Fast find? This would be easier to do in OS 9 then X most likely. Based my mine and others experiences I recommend not installing any Norton files on OSX but run from the CD which I also do with OS 9. It really seems to solve the many Norton problems of recent years.
So I'd try that and then run "fsck" as mentioned in the other post. It really isn't a big deal it adds maybe 2 min to the boot time really fast! You can do from a cold boot or re-boot.
If that doesn't work I'd wipe the drive and start over. It may well take less time then messing with things. I must have installed OSX dev 3 and 4 40 times or more before it worked even close to normal. So sometimes especially when just starting out it is sometimes easier to do a new install then mess with trouble shooting. I've found that for some reason things just go bad when installing and with luck things are better the next time!
