Don't know if anyone else has had this problem. I have two G4s runing OS X. Only one experienced this problem. After I loaded OSX 10.1.4 on a 867 G4, I could not shutdown with software (logout or shutdown); I had to use the big button. Got my money's worth out of being a Apple Support client by holding one of their techs for two hours to troubleshoot. Bottom line solution: we removed Norton System Works (including Disk Doctor), and that fixed the problem.

Norton & OS X 10.1
Might want to try using Boot Config to turn off the Norton startup items.
Norton & OS X 10.1
Is "Boot Config" a program? Pls tell how to use it in detail.
10.1.3 too
yeah, same thing in 10.1.3. Deletion tracking was the culprit. I just unistalled NU and now my system shuts down and restarts.
Drive Saver
I had a serious problem with Drive Saver after updating to 10.1.4 (system: PowerMac G4/667). Upon restarting (after the update), I tried to empty the trash and got a kernel panic. The offending command came from a Symantec kext (kernel extension), according to the text which was sprayed across the upper left corner of the screen. I rebooted, then uninstalled all Norton products, and removed the invisible Drive Saver files from each volume.
Drive Saver
Oops, make that "File Saver" not Drive Saver. :-o
norton solutions
I can't remember back far enough to recall when I stopped using the various extensions that Norton Utilities/System Works tries to install. I do mac tech support for a living and I have no problems with Norton Systemworks but...all I ever use is DiskDoctor and Speed Disk on a rare occassion. My guess is that if you ran DiskDoctor from a separate partition or from the CD it would be just fine (although it may cause you to lose custom icons if you aren't careful)...at least 6.0.3 has been spot on for me. However, all the way back to Norton Utilities when it first came out with DiskLight and other extensions, I had nothing but problems with those system level tweaks. Stick with DiskDoctor and DiskWarrior and you should be good.
FileSaver is not so bad... when you need it!
I had this same problem with the public beta of NUM. As a side note, I also used to disable FileSaver in OS 8/9 because it would hang the Mac at shutdown.
Norton nothing but trouble
I installed System Works when I got it, right after it was released, and promptly got kernel panics--two in two days. I'd never ever had a kernel panic in any version of 10.1 before that. I deleted the software asap. |
