Some questions:
1) Is there anything that looks relevant in the system or console log?
Nothing at all.
2) What does configd print in verbose mode when you are in this
condition?
Tons of stuff. The problem is that I don't understand a lick of what
I'm reading and I'm never quite sure when the wait state begins.
There's no time stamps. I don't know that configd is stuck until I see
that my screen is still alive. Configd keeps spitting out info even
when it's in the wait. Sometimes it takes hours.
3) You can use 'sample', or, perhaps, 'shark', to get an idea of what
configd is doing while the hang is in progress. Ok, this isn't a
question.
I'm doing sample. I'm afraid this is getting a bit over my head.
Thanks, Heath

Hello:
I've been having a most annoying problem with my G5 pretty much since
the day I brought it home.
After the unit's been on for a bit I have problems where the display
won't time out or sometimes won't wake up. I've traced the problem
down to the configd process going into uninterruptible wait (Us in ps
-aux). I can't figure out what's causing it.
Here's what I've tried (EVERYTHING): Resetting persmissions; deleting
the Library/SystemConfiguration preferences; resetting pram,
resetting SMU; reinstalling the OS (twice); replacing the video card;
disconnecting all peripherals; physically reconfiguring my network;
replacing the main board!; and certain voodoo rituals. NOTHING
WORKS!
I've tried running configd in a verbose debugging mode and have had
no luck deciphering anything. There's no time stamps. It never
really hangs, but the machine does start to act a bit weird. It only
seems to do it (I think) when it's plugged in to a network, and I've
tried three different setups.
Any ideas on what might be making it get stuck? Any better places to
ask this question?
This is a good list, but perhaps darwin-development would be better.

As a last resort, you can attach to a process with gdb. That might
tell us something. You could always recompile with debug symbols and
see what it looks like.
