I get about a minute of a spinning beach ball waking from sleep, the system log says:
Oct 7 10:48:12 imac-g5 kernel[0]: IOATAController device blocking bus.
Oct 7 10:48:23 imac-g5 kernel[0]: IOATAController device blocking bus.
Oct 7 10:48:35 imac-g5 kernel[0]: IOATAController device blocking bus.
Oct 7 10:48:46 imac-g5 kernel[0]: IOATAController device blocking bus.
Oct 7 10:49:20 imac-g5 kernel[0]: IOATAController device blocking bus.
searching for that, other threads on maxfixit, etc, suggest that is likey a hardware problem, with the harddrive controller, but could still be software. I will admit that I just stuck the new drive and hooked it up and then formatted it with the install disk, so if I needed to anything special, I missed that step. This is a new problem, since I hadn't noticed this before in the log or with waking from sleep (it used to KP waking from sleep though).
I may reinstall the os and see if this is reproducable with a perfectly fresh version of 10.4 (I probably have 10.3 and 10.2 around here too).
