Hi all
I have a nagging problem with my G5 (1.8 GHz single, 512 MB). Sometimes, it won't wake up from sleep. That is: iTunes plays (via a script), the eject key works but the display stays dark. After calling Apple a number of times to no avail (reset PRM, reset SMU) I finally found a mention of this problem on an Apple forum:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?13@redacted.invalid@redacted.invalid/0
Since I set my G5 to "never sleep", I am able to log in via SSH and poke around when it refuses to wake up, which happened this morning again. Indeed, ps -aux shows configd in the "Us" state, but is very hard to kill. kill (pid) does not work kill -1 (pid) shuts down my SSH conection and after that, I can't reach the G5 anymore by SSH.
Some log snippets from console:

It seems that the cups deamon is the culprit? Next time, I'll try killing that first.
How can I kill configd? What could cause configd to be in "uninterruptible wait"? How do I get configd to snap out of it?
I recently upgraded to Tiger, but that did not help :-( This G5 has this problem from the day I bought it.
