I have posted this in the Classic and OS 9 forum as well .. I don't know exactly where it belongs ...

How about this one:
I wanted to upgrade the PB G4 400 to OSX ... I had a 10 GB disk in
it, and bought a new 60 GB.
So .. I connected an external FW-drive and uswed Carbon Copy Cloner
to make a complete image of the original disk.
I then replaced the disk with the new disk and formatted it and made
2 partitions: 10 GB and 45 GB (the rest) and installes 10.3.2 and
upgraded until I had 10.3.4 on the big partition.
I then cloned the old OS 9 stuff back tio the smaller partition.
Now .. I should have a machine that could boot in OS 9 as well as OSX
and I should be able to use it as an OSX machine as well as an OS 9
machine (like it used to be).
And it works OK.
Except ... when I try to start QuarkXPress (4.1) from OSX, OSX starts
classic, then pauses for quite some time ... then continues ... but
when I then click on the Quark icon, I'm told that I can't run Quark
on a locked volume.
WHAT????
I'm clueless ... any hints welcome.

And the weirdness continues ...
The weirdness continues
just copied the complete OS 9 partitionto the OSX partition. Dragged the OS 9 partition to the trash. Went to system prefs and selected a new OS 9 startup folder ... and tried to start classic ...
Which led to the terrible darkened screen with a certain text in 5 different languages ...
Restarted ... tried again.
Restarted ... tried again.
Restarted ... ran Disk Tools on the OS 9 partition. Now I also get the 5 languages when I use the System Folder on the OS 9 partition to start classic.
I can start holding down that option key ... I can select start disk and start in 9 (not classic but good ol' 9) and that works fine ...
I'm going nuts!
