Nothing succeeds like mindless drudgery

It was the hard disk. Proved conclusively as when I
swapped in a 'proper' Apple one everything worked to
plan. All set up nicely now, with a dual-boot Mac and
Linux system. I've done a couple of rounds of
updating and setting up on each, but there's more to
be done; specifically, while the BT Voyager 1040 PCI
802.11g card worked flawlessly on the Mac, I have to
wade through
these instructions to figure out how to use it on
Linux. Print server works and music server works
under Mac OS X. I'm off to bed now, leaving this
backing up overnight.
The really annoying thing is that I thought the problem was to do with the order and/or formatting of the previous hard disk, so the previous week or so has been spent on and off reformatting it in various ways, only to discover that the Mac was picky about what drives it liked. Ah well, done now.
