10.6.3 warning
After finally getting snow leopard to run smoothly with my SATA drives I gaily downloaded 10.6.3 when prompted to do so and now the whole system has frozen, no mouse, no keyboard and I’m back to re-installing the OS on another drive from DVD again.
On checking various forums I’ve seen a lot of post complaining of similar problems – so beware! It may be co-incidence my machine has totally failed after installing 10.6.3, but it may not.

Did the update this morning and have been working all day on system without any problems.
Have found that any external SATA problems seemed to be eradicated by switching on the drives before turning the MacPro on. Get a few weirdnesses otherwise.
Just my experience, for what it’s worth!

No problem here

thats why I always clone to another identical drive first before any upgrade like that.
saves you from the grief and time to do that.

Hmm yes that would be handy…
Looks like I’ve narrowed part of the problem down to a conflict with either the AJA Kona card or the second monitor screen – unplugging both has at least enabled me to boot into a working system. Startup is still taking far longer than it should though. Like around 5 minutes.

Did you upgrade or do a clean install?
that could be it right there.

Ken,
Almost any time you update Pro Apps you may also have to uninstall and reinstall the Kona drivers. It’s just a fact of life. And, fixing permissions doesn’t hurt either.

Chris,
I think you misunderstand. He only did an update to the new version of Snow Leopard that Apple posted online in the last day or so.

As reported in the P2 forum, P2CMS is a little busted if you use P2CMS.

I upgraded on my MBP last night, no problems. However, I’m writing this from my Mac Pro, and I have NOT upgraded this yet, for the very reason we are seeing on this board. Just waiting to see how it shakes out.
