Anyone else have a clue about this one?
I've been dealing with this failure of OS X to sometimes shut down/restart/log out fairly frequently; sometimes the problem disappears, only to return later. I have several volumes running on my B&W G3, with different versions of OS X on each one (10.2.8, 10.3.3, 10.3.5), and currently the version that has this problem is 10.3.3. I've done a lot of searching for answers, on Apple Discussions, Macfixit, etc., and several causes and fixes have been found, but none work for me. Anyway, some typical causes are any of the Norton software (Norton Utils, Norton Antivirus--disable all of this and see what happens); Classic still running; network volumes still mounted; some dumb daemon; etc. For some people, reinstalling the OS X Combo updater helps, and for others, repairing the hard drive's directory and/or permissions fixes this. Not for me. I've determined that it's nothing in the Users folder, nor in /Library, which leaves /System, and the invisible files. Next step is to try the experiment where I install a clean OS 10.3.3 on another volume, then start moving its files to the problem volume until the problem volume once again can restart/shut down/log out--the last file I move over that fixes the problem, will be the culprit (if it turns out to be that "easy"). |
