I read your most recent message, and, I decided to perform more than a perfunctory review of Jason Snell's article.
I booted into Verbose mode. I launched SD!. I performed two backups of the internal hard drive. I quit SD!. I restarted the system. The display became black, immediately. The arrow remained on the screen. Five minutes later, the arrow disappeared. I wiggled the trackball. The arrow reappeared on the black display. Interesting note, with the arrow visible on the black screen, if I wiggle the trackball quickly, the arrow becomes large, as I would expect it to during normal operations. It seem that, despite a black display and a visible arrow, the system has not logged out of my User account. I wonder if the Finder is running, or, has quit, at this point. I waited fifteen minutes. The iMac still had not restarted. Then, I performed a hard power down. Up to this point, I had not seen any verbose mode data on the display during shutdown. Thirty seconds later, I powered the iMac up. I launched the console. I clicked on SYSTEM LOG QUERIES > All Messages. I scrolled down to the time index that I remembered commencing the restart. I'm not familiar with the log entries. Would you like to take a look at them? Some of them contain references to SD! I can send the entire log, or, I can send a small snapshot of the few seconds before and the few seconds after the restart event.
