hi,
after finally installing tiger on my beloved pismo it started to behave strange.
if it has been put to sleep for awhile, at the moment i wake it up, the whole machine freezes appearantly because it can't find its' harddrive.
restarting won't help, it'll show the missing system-folder icon, and the hd will spin, but not make any other sounds (read/write).
doing a reinstall won't help either, because there's no hd to install anyting on.
only when i let it sit there for a while (turned off), and then restart, it will boot as if nothing happened...untill i put it to sleep again ofcourse...
i did a clean install followed with all system-updates.
i erased and wrote zero's to the hd (what supposedly eliminates bad blocks?)
the hd is relatively new and not used very much, since i se the pismo mainly as jukebox..and then it even play music from a server over the network..
it ran panther with no problems at all... and i asume it should run tiger fine too,
but it doesn't.
anyone has a clue what's wrong?
ofcourse i've gone through the usual troubleshoot sequence a number of time already.
didn't help (reset pram, nvram, remove/reseat ram, reseat the hd etc..)
the only guess i would have it could be the backup-battery, but if that were the problem, wouldn't the clock be reset to 1970 at every boot?
