[CUBE] [Cube] OS X.2.6 Functionality

[abillups at mac.com]

10.2.6 seems to work alright for me, but I am still having the usb  
sound cut out problem.

My friend, however, had a major crash when trying to download the  
upgrade. Halfway through the download/install/optamization (sp) her  
cube froze and has only exhibited the spinning dial ever since. We got  
it started with her Jaguar disks and she has backed up to an external  
firewire. She went out and bought the newest version of Norton, which  
repaired a lot of things, but didn't fix the problem.

On questioning her further, she revealed she had been having kernal  
panics on a regular basis, so I am thinking hardware. Upon further  
discussion, she said the HD has been getting very noisy. Now I am very  
suspicious of the HD, so she is going to order an WD 80 Gig from OWC,

Has anyone else lost system files during one of the  
install/upgrade/optamizations (sp)  that the software upgrade panel  
does? I am thinking that if the hd burped, it corrupted the system  
files and she is in need of of system install. She needs the new hd  
anyway as she was still running the original 20, and she just bought  
EYETV. She was blaming the installation of that, but I don't think that  
is the cause.

Any other ideas.
