Please help me with this crash log. I can't get to the bottom of this and I've
tried for a week now. I'm not a UNIX geek by far, but boy I'm doing ALOT of reading.....PMG5 Dual/1G/10.3.9. After successful login computer freezes when anything is selected.

Hmm. I'm kind of grasping at straws here, but

"/usr/libexec/fix_prebinding": exited with non-zero status 1

looks interesting. Also

How desperately broken is the computer? If you can read crash logs, then presumably it's semi-functional at least. Can you manage to uninstall APE? (That's the framework from unsanity.com for putting tweaks into other apps).

If you enter ">console" in the login window, can you get to a plain console login? If so, you might try running "/usr/libexec/update_prebinding -verbose -root /" as root, see where it's actually failing. And of course, repair permissions with "/usr/sbin/diskutil repairPermissions /"

If it's really broken, and you have another Mac about, perhaps try booting the dead one in target disk mode, and examining the disk from the other one...
 
Let me backpedal a little. Problems of "hanging" after login began when I was thrown off the network via server shutdown. There are 2 more G5's in same condition. It appears to me the system is trying to mount "ghost" volumes if you will.

Apr 27 08:35:59 localhost shutdown: reboot by Nutty:

I tried to remove the "Unsane" app by trashing the receipt/prefs, etc.

Then, I reinstalled 10.3.9, using standalone "combined" version vs auto update(on top of 10.3.9)Eekk!

From install.log;

May 5 11:40:02 localhost : 2005-05-05 11:40:02.635 update_prebinding[533] Update_prebinding done.
May 5 11:40:02 localhost : 2005-05-05 11:40:02.636 update_prebinding[533] 1457 files successfully prebound, 13 files unsuccessfully prebound.

And some of these;
malformed object (inconsistant sizeofcmds field in mach header)
prebinding can't be redone for: /System/Library/SyncServices/SymbianConduit.bundle/Contents/Resources/SymbianFindDeviceInfo (for architecture ppc) because larger updated load commands do not fit (the program must be relinked)

Then I saw that darned "Insanity" app again. I'll do a find in terminal for all "unsanity", yes?

I'm wondering what this is all about though;

I get the feeling you think I should just kill everything and reinstall the system clean, yes?
 
Hmm... Unmounting the shares successfully doesn't look too worrisome.

The diskarbitrationd messages do look odd. For me they look like:
May 7 10:34:23 localhost diskarbitrationd[87]: disk1s10 hfs 3408B198-267-357C-B74D-E2969FB643C4 Chyropter /

Not sure that the hex business is, but all 0's doesn't look good. Also, am I seeing right that it's trying to mount disk1s1s2 at two different mount points? That seems odd...

How much of a headache would a wipe & rebuild be in your case?
 
PS On startup system tries to mount servers automatically, then unmounts after connect to server screen comes up blank and I FQ finder. I used to startup without mounting anything, and then I would connect to servers when I wanted, but since the network shutdown, startup mounts automatically...and unsuccessfully!
