[Ham-Mac] OT - G4 Sleep Problems -- the Pain Continues

[Dino Papas]

Well, based on a tips and web searches I:

--replaced my G4 MDD power supply
--reapplied the OS 10.4.10 updater
--deleted a number of files that folks said helped
--downloaded and ran "Onyx" a real nifty maintenance utility; that  
led me to
--repaired the HD (it did have a minor problem)
--used Tech-Tool CD to test hardware (all ok)
--searched Apple Discussions and the web a bunch with no solid leads
--swore at my machine a LOT!

All to no avail....the machine continuously wakes up immediately  
after being put to sleep.  I guess I'm just going to have to wipe the  
HD clean and start from scratch...boy will I be mad if it still won't  
sleep after that.

One more time -- any other thoughts before I search and destroy?

Sorry for the extra bandwidth but maybe someone here has had a  
similar problem with their G4.  My computer intermittently (but now  
continuously) doesn't want to stay asleep.  I've gone thru all the  
troubleshooting steps I know:

--Permanently removed USB and Firewire PCI cards (nothing now in the  
backplane)
--Disconnected the external Firewire HD
--Disconnected all USB appliances less the keyboard and mouse
--Done Cocktail till I'm blue in the face
--Archived and Installed OS X back up to current 10.4.10

Even after all that it still won't sleep.  When I look at the console  
log I see:

Aug 16 23:05:20 Dino-Papass-Computer kernel[0]: System Sleep
Aug 16 23:05:20 Dino-Papass-Computer kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 !=  
err" failed in "AppleLegacyAudio/AppleTexas2Audio/ 
AppleTexas2Audio.cpp" at line 3648 goto Exit
Aug 16 23:05:20 Dino-Papass-Computer kernel[0]: ^PSystem Wake
Aug 16 23:05:20 Dino-Papass-Computer kernel[0]: Wake event 0020

so the only thing I can see is this "Sound assertion"  
failure....beats me what that is....anyone have a clue since it looks  
like the only thing after sleep and before waking up.

Scratching my head and getting ready to go get the sledge hammer!

Thanks in advance!
