My Lombard (Panther, 384mb ram) went
to sleep and wouldn't wake up. I
re-installed Panther. The Lombard
started fine. I put it to sleep. It wouldn't
wake up and when it did the "no
parking/stop" sign was there again. What
causes this and why does a re-install
appear not to help?


Thanks. This list is great.

I've read the suggested text. I'm sure that the PMU is
a factor in my problem. I believe that i've reset it. My
computer wakes from sleep ok. It won't boot from a
shutdown. I get the 'no entry' sign. But if i hold down
the 'd' key the machine boots. What does this mean?

Thanks,

JPW

"The D key forces the PowerBook (Bronze Keyboard and FireWire) to boot from the internal hard disk."

...which implies you have an external hard disk connected (FireWire, USB) or a bootable CD in the drive. Remove and try again.

I hope this helps,


James
