G4 "Digital Audio" problems after 10.4.9 update
Noticed some sluggishness after reboot and then attempted to repair permissions but got the spinning beach ball. Forced a restart and then got the circle with a line through it instead of the apple logo upon reboot. I had to install Tiger on my firewire drive in order to boot up. Once in, I ran a permissions fix and repaired the hard drive - it come up with some errors but those errors were repaired.
Proceeded to then restart from the internal hard drive - all seemed well until the computer went to sleep. When I woke it up, the mouse was the only thing that moved - I could not click to open any files or restart from the Apple menu. Upon restart same deal with the circle with a line through it (sorry I forget what this means, as I've never seen it before) and had to boot up from my firewire drive in order to again run a permissions fix and repair the volume.
I've never had this kind of issue before. I admittingly forgot to run a permissions fix before I installed 10.4.9 but I've forgotten to do this before and never had a problem.
I'm running a Sonnet Encore ST/1.4 for 3 years now and haven't had any issues unless it doesn't support 10.4.9 - I'm not able to find this info on their website.
Anyone with a similar setup having issues? I haven't yet zapped the ram - will do so tonight. Anything else I can try to do short of having to reinstall everything again.
