I recently purchased the Sonnet G4 800 mHz PCI board for my PowerTower Pro. What a breath of fresh air for this machine! Added a few more 128 meg dimms to bump it to 704 megs of ram. Anyway, I was messing around trying to see if I could get Jaguar to recognize the cache. With my old G3 500 mhz board, I think it was 10.1.5 that would said "probing cache" during startup. I have yet to see it with the 800 board under Jaguar. I messed with PowerLogix cache utility, the L2 cache config and Sonnet's tuneup app. I then went back to OS 9 to reinstall Xpostfacto extensions. It was then I ran into problems. Jaguar would hang. I would get the gray apple on the screen, the little circle thingy would start moving for a while then I would get the ghostbusters icon (w/o the ghost of course). When I booted using verbose mode, I would get a message saying it couldn't find the IOSCSIdriver. After tinkering for a while and reinstalling them again, with no luck, I tried the older extension that I have on my 10.1.5 partition and it booted up. Any guesses as to why the newer IOSCSIdriver wouldn't work? |

just to update.. I found the Norton extensions that were causing the kernal panics (thanks to the guys in the MacFixit forums). I could only remove them by booting into OS 9.2.2. I was then able to boot into Jaguar and then uninstall all of Norton Utilities. |

I've seen the uninstall option, but I can only install/uninstall from the drive that I have booted from. Since I can't boot into Jaguar due to the kernal panics, I can't uninstall it from 10.1.5. |

Norton 7.03.....I no longer install Norton on my working drives.It has caused me endless problems for several years when I have it installed. Seems to work fine from either the CD or another drive. Norton 7.03 comes with an uninstall program use it.You choice it from a drop down box in the install prgram that also lets you do a custom install .It will remove most of the files that were installed all over the place. Just like a microsoft program ;-) you can run Norton 6.04 on the OSX drive from within OS 9.x or by booting the cd from OS 9.x . I for the first time in a long time installed Norton 7.x on my OSX drive as that is the only way to run it big mistake. I keep hoping the Norton people will get it together but no luck in that department . It has been a long time since there was a trouble free Norton. I still use Speed Disk and once in a while Disk Dr but it's not needed nearly as much since Disk Warrior has come to the rescue. I highly reccommend it. |

After a little work, I think my problem maybe Norton's 7.03. A few people have reported kernal panics after unstalling this update. Now how can I uninstall it from my Jaguar partition using 10.1.5? I'm not sure of all the files and where they are located. |
