[G4] Leopard crashes

[Harry A. Freeman]

Greetings,

I apologize, yesterday was a very busy day.
Second apology - I mistakenly exchanged my ACARD 6280M SATA interface  
card for my Sonnet Technologies ATA-133 Tempo card. The Sonnet  
Technologies ATA-133 Tempo is installed my G4 AGP Graphics platform,  
which is out of service at present.

However I've read that either Sonnet makes the ACARD SATA card or visa- 
versa.

My ACARD 6280M is installed in PCI slot #2 and I've never had any  
problems.
I would suggest that if you have your Sonnet Technologies SATA card  
installed in PCI slot #2 that you remove all other cards that are not  
necessary for booting and see if that makes a difference.

If boot goes Okay then replace 1/2 of the cards that you removed and  
give it another try.

If you experience problems again then remove 1/2 of the cards that  
were replace and try again.

Keep repeating the above steps until you have found the card that is  
causing the problems.

Once you have discovered the card causing the problem then try the  
card in another slot if possible.
Some cards will not fit into all PCI slots because of their physical  
size.

Cheers
