This fix only works in earlier versions of OSX. I tried it today in Panther; No Dice! ;) I'll try another way and post it.

Ed- This problem manifests itself yet again immediately after an Apple OSX Update (to 10.2.6 this time. Last time it was 10.2.4, if I recall). I've tried every boot method and most every Utility on CD known to man. At least this time I can boot an OSX CD, but booting an OS9 CD/utiltity is...

Hey Bill- Read my post "Cannot fix permissions, bizzare mail problem" in this same Forum. It seems like I've seen several posts over the months about bad permissions and not being able to boot from CDs, and this is killing me. Let me know what you think and if you came to any resolution.

UPDATE; It seems that I cannot boot this G4 450DP from any OS9 CD. I CAN boot from the OSX 10.2 install CD but the "Repair Permissions" option remains inactive. I can also boot from the "Drive 10" CD, but it doesn't find any problems. Since this is an older Mac, not being able to boot into...

Now it seems I cannot boot from any CD. I've seen this problem posted by other members also. Hey Apple; WTF!?

:mad: G4 450DP acting wierd again; Applications crash randomly (Dreamweaver, Word, Diablo, IE5 and Safari), Kernel Panics and now Mail cannot see any of my mailboxes in my Users/<username>/Library/Mail folder. Running /sbin/fsck -y fixed several catalog problems, so I booted from the...

AAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!, I can boot my system just fine but as soon as I try to do anything in the finder, it dissapears and begins spawning multiple Finders 'till infinity.:eek: I CAN however, use any apps I can get to in the Dock including System Prefs. I've run Drive 10, Apple's Disk...

All of those; Booting from CD holding down the "C" key (various CD's) Booting from the Boot Manager (CD's and Firewire drives) Setting the Startup volume in Sys Prefs (CD's and Firewire drives)

Um, Internal OS9 (not classic), CD and Firewire...

Cannot Boot from ANYTHING but the internal OSX 10.2.4 HD. Cannot startup from internal OS9hd, NO CD's, not Firewire, nothing!! WTF!?! G4 450DP/1gb RAM/120gb HD's x2

Is there/where is the OS9 installer for the new G4s? I need to install OS9 on several User machines who cant run OSX just yet. I realize I *could* use the software restore feature, but what if I dont want all the extraneous crap that it dumps onto the HD? Anybody know where I can get a...

I cannot SSH into my Mac if the screensaver is on. The system IS NOT asleep. I have verified this. What's the deal?

A favorite User of mine is moving from an old SGI box to a screamming new DP 1ghz Quicksilver. She is happy with all things OSX. Joy of Joys! Problem: She has an old Xerox "DocuPrint 4517" Printer that I cannot get to work with anything but her SGI box. Not OSX, not OS9, nothing. I realize...
