System 7.5: Quadra 900/950 Boot Problem (2/95)


There have been a few reports of Quadra 900 or 950 owners having problems after upgrading to System 7.5. The system fails to complete the boot process the first time after installing 7.5. The system could hang when extensions load, when the desktop is rebuilding, or when the desktop appears. This problem is not 100% consistent and not reproducible.

The work around is to boot with extensions off, remove the SCSI Manager 4.3 extension from the System Folder, then restart and let the system boot normally.

After the Quadra 900 or 950 has booted normally once, the SCSI Manager 4.3 extension can be placed back in the Extensions folder without any further problems.
