Apple on Tuesday finally resolved long-standing issues with some of its early Power Mac G5 models by releasing a firmware update. Apple said the new G5 firmware update improves the reliability of some early Power Mac G5--especially after it has been inactive for two hours. Since early summer, users have been complaining various reliability issues with some 1.8GHz Power Mac G5 models, documenting kernel panics, crashes caused by the "Eject Key", wake-from-sleep problems, and OpenGL problems. Apple refused to acknowlege the problems until late September, when it posted a support document detailing some of the symptoms, providing a few workarounds, and promising development of a longer-term solution. Apple's new firmware update, designed only for the 1.8GHz, (600 MHz bus), single-processor Power Mac G5 (Late 2004) computer, appears to resolve many of these issues.
