This bug was caused by the 10.3.1 panther update.

ISSUES:

* Audio CD not detected
* Errors trying to mount any dmg image


The only thing that worked for me was reinstalling the panther update but... how ????

If the system didn�t let me mount images???

I had to burn the .dmg file update and then re-installed the 10.3.1 panther update .pkg from the cd i just burn.

I had tried everything was sugestted below and this was the only fix that worked

Thanks for your support...

This fix did not work on my new G5, which also has the dmg mounting problem.

I had the same problem after I did the update, ended up calling Apple support and told me to do some kind of system restore w/ the CDs that came w/ my iBook G4 (sorry I'm a NooB so I don't exactly reemember the procedure they had do), after that I did the system update and everything is working fine now.

Hi,

This is a known issue with "earlier" 10.3.1 updates. The easy remedy that I saw in the Apple.com ibook G4 forum listed the following solution:

1. Go to System/Library/Caches .... trash the folder com.apple.kernelcaches

2. Go back to System/Library ... trash the file Extensions.kextcache

3. Restart.

I do have version 10.3.1 but do not have this problem. But I just got my new ibook g4 last week and Apple might have had fixed this version of 10.3.1.


Hoep this helps!!
