After
A) Initializing my 20 GB hard drive after my stupid attempt at installing a 2nd hard drive (which now successfully works), and
B) Installing a Keyspan USB 2.0 PCI card,
My G4 no longer successfully goes to sleep; neither a direct command from OS X nor waiting for Energy Saver to kick in works. The fan continues to run, the light stays green, and nothing short of pushing one of the buttons on the front of the computer elicits a response. I am force to force restart the machine.
Are any of my hardware installations the cause? I have not tried to de-install either of them. I think I was able to put it to sleep after the hard drive, so I can try the USB card first.
[bright idea] Why don't I try that right now? That way somebody doesn't have to suggest it, and I can troubleshoot my own problem! [/bright idea] I'll post back with my findings.
