I had a similar problem with an iBook G3 (2xUSB) some years ago. It got |
33 |
solved by Apple replacing some hardware. Everything was working fine |
34 |
with Mac OS X but after the linux install it did not want to reboot |
35 |
anymore at all but just brought that quiesce message - however without |
36 |
the returning line - iirc. |
