Hi all,happened just with my beige g3 and Jaguar after a power failure, rebooted, dead adb mouse
I recently updated my 8600/G3 to Panther (a clean install w/ XPostFacto
3.0a14), with no initial problems and a nice speed increase. I ran all the
packages which have accumulated on my G4 to bring it up to date, and halfway
through the iTunes 4.1 update the machine froze and had to be restarted. I'm
not sure if it is normal for a kernel panic to just freeze like that on
unsupported machines, as on my G4 the grey curtain descends and the friendly
message appears. Anyway, upon restart the ADB mouse no longer worked. The
keyboard still works, other mice don't work, and mice attached to other
keyboards or directly to the ADB port don't work. Luckily I have a USB card
installed and a spare USB mouse, because I don't feel like sitting through
the 12 or more hours involved in a clean install of the system and all my
applications again, and otherwise the machine seems to be working fine. Does
anyone have any idea of what might have happened, and what I might be able
to do to fix it? Thanks

I shut the box off, booted into the jaguar installer disk, repaired boot volume and disk permissions and all went ok
I had to boot into the os9 cd to set the startup disk back to my jaguar, btw. But this could be the acard ide controller I have my startvolume on
hth Sven
btw. on my blue & white g3 with latest Panther my Typhoon USB Mouse would not be recognized after cold starts in 1 from 10 boots. I just have to restart in the login dialogue or have to pull the mouse. Could be the combination of a 10 year old adb keyboard (best ever made imho) and the usb mouse, I dont know :)
