[G4] G4 Startup

[Michael L. Brown]

The "auto-restart" problem is usually associated with an attached USB 
hub, or the optional "Restart automatically after a power failure" 
block is checked in the EnergySaver Control Panel or Prefpane. I did 
have the problem after I installed Tiger and had not removed my 
M-Audio Revolution 7.1 sound card. Once I pulled the card, erased 
M-Audio software, a checked the permissions, the problem went away. 
That particular bug was mentioned on MacFixit.com.

Good luck,

Mike
