Hi, I am having this pesky little issue. I recently installed 10.4.7 JaS Intel on an Acer 3620 (very good in terms of driver availability). 2 days ago I was trying to figure out whenever I started up OS X it would always heavily use the hard drive. I opened up Activity Monitor and saw that "updateprebin" was running and using some of my cpu. Ending the process would make the hard drive activity go way down. I looked it up on Google and saw it was usually related to a sudden shutdown of the system. I haven't shutdown the system incorrectly for about a day now. When I did shut it down, it was due to the system trying to sleep when I closed the lid and not being able to get the screen back up. Since I installed "Insomnia.kext", I haven't had this problem of the system going to sleep on its own.

 

I was wondering if where is a way to disable this update prebind operation or at least figure out what is making it run on boot. I believe it all started when I installed the Ralink RT2500-USB Driver. It made OS X recognize my wireless card so all is good for that. Any help would be great.
