Hi all,

Since sometime in 10.3.7 I experience Boot problems on my imacG5 1.8 /
20"/ 2 Gbyte.

It takes a couple of tries (say 5) to get the machine to boot. The machine seems to be stuck at the "Starting Internet Services" or "Waiting for Printing services" (the blue progress bar is at approx. 95% at that point.).
One time I waited 3 hours, but no continuation of the boot, all what is left is off-on and retry.
Booting in verbose mode does not reveal any error message. The boot process then hangs at the moment the blue screen with mouse pointer at the left top.

If the machine is running, I encounter no problems at all. I use this box
10 hours/day with a lot of different apps.. So far no (repeatable) strange
things happen (as long as I do not (re)boot...).

Any ideas ?

Rudi
