When I open Disc Utility it says "Gathering disc information" - but it never finishes.
Cocktail has the same problem.

Everything else works fine.
Running 10.3.6. on a PB G4 17'' Rev. A.

Any ideas?
Would a restart fix this?

Did a restart. Repaired permissions.
Everything back to normal.

If it gets really messed up, you can run a lot of that stuff from the Terminal. man diskutil for info.

If worse comes to worst, you can always boot off your installer disks.
