9500 freezes during "Automatic Reboot in progress" |

I have a 9500, sonnet G3/500, sonnet ATA100 with a 60 gig baracuda and an 80 gig hitachi/ ibm. I installed 10.2 a couple of days ago and it worked great right after the install, then wouldn't boot into X on subsequent attempts. After reading the list a bit, I tried (amongst frequent CUDA reseting) telling XPF to re-install bootx. This worked great for about two days, it would even boot into X on it's own after powering down for the night. Now it's back to refusing to boot into X again, it gets stuck in Automatic Reboot in progress each time. Sometimes it gives an error: disk 0s6: 0x8 (UNDEFINED) it prints a few lines of that message, then tries something, prints it again and so on... a few other times it got stuck at: Size of IODBMADescriptor: 16. one time it got stuck because it said that it found 6 volumes instead of five ( I have five), but I didn't write that message down so I don't know exactly what it said anymore. The consistant thing is that it is always somewhere in Automatic Reboot portion if its rutine. I tried teling XPF to re-install bootx and also extensions- to no avail. I always have it re-install xboot, as that seemed to be the key to getting it to work the first time. Any insights or suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanx, -m |

It's working again, as I am composing this now in Safari. I went out for a while and when I came home I started the machine again. It did ok for a while, got stuck at Mesh:0 0runDBDMA-Atribute reselect problem. invalid volume free block count (should be 1240099 instead of 1239715) then a couple of minutes later it seemed to let go of that problem and move on. Then it gave me the blue screen with infinite spinning rainbow wheel. I booted into 9, had XPF boot again, with bootx reinstalled and now I am in X again. Go figure. I don't trust it. I would like to find some clue about what the flakey piece might be, but am not experienced with UNIX, so I don't really have more than a vague and abstract notion of what the boot process entails. |
