I install 9.2 on both machines. It was working great with my sonnet G-4 boards. I down loaded xpostfacto and ran the install with OS 10.2. Xpostfacto did the install and I told the system to reboot to OS10.2 CD The system tried to reboot and however in either case the computers did not and will not reboot . I put in a boot disc. The system did not reboot just a blank screen on the monitor. I tried resetting the pram. NO response. I reset the Memmory on the mother board. The computers have 250megs plus on the board, sonnet g-4's and 18gig hard drives. Please give me some ideas to get the computer to boot. |

gsrock, I have 10.2.4 running on my Power Tower Pro with a Sonnet G4/800 and 1GB of RAM. It runs very well so you should be able to do it also. First, what video card do you have in the machine, and what size and speed is your RAM. By this I mean are they 32MB 70ns or 64MB 60ns? If you still have the original IX Micro card installed you are probably going to have to replace it with at least an ATI Rage Pro card. Also, if you still have the original RAM installed or if it is mixed with newer RAM you will have to remove the old RAM because it is most likely incompatible with the memory requirements of OSX. More details please. |

I have been having problems installing OS X on a Power Tower Pro. After I run XPostFacto the computer begins the reboot process but stops. The monitor stays black. Monitor light stays amber not green. To resolve the situation I inserted an OS 8.5 CD into the CD drive, hit the reset button on the computer and held the Command/Option/Shift/Delete keys. The machine booted into 8 from the CD. I opened the Control Panels and selected the Statup Disk Control Panel. I selected the drive that I have OS 9.1 installed on and rebooted. The computer works fine in 9. Try that. I still need advice on getting OS X installed. |

If you have a sonnet floppy restore disk... Try that. If not try doing a command-option PR and and soon as it chimes hold down the option key... This might get you back to 9. Good Luck, Marty |

Please give us more specific info on your machine configurations. Include information on what PCI cards you have installed, what sizes your RAM are (128MB or 64MB), what speed the RAM runs at if known, and anything else you can think of. For a quick fix try using XpostFacto to reinstall BootX and the Extensions and then reboot. This sometimes fixes a boot problem without having to do anything else. |
