Seven hours without power today, because of windstorm damage. The only system that didn't come back up was my OS X server. It seems the power management chip is fouled up, as any power-related function, like sleeping the display, puts the system into sleep. I've reset the PMU -- anyone have any other ideas?
Posted by Mitch Ratcliffe at October 30, 2003 11:44 PM | TrackBackMitch -- two things come to mind (though it sounds too late):
- Booting into Open Firmware (Cmd-Option-O-F) and doing a 'reset-nvram' followed by 'reset-all'.
- Trying to boot a clean copy of the OS (perhaps using a DiskWarrior or Norton disk) to see if it happens then, too.
Ah well -- hope you enjoy the G5.
