Some G4 upgrades do NOT WORK right with 6 slot macs. I recently re discovered this when playing with my Powerlogix G4/450 in my powertowerpro. This computer worked ROCK solid with the XLR8 (daystar) zif card and an Apple G3/ 266, but with the powerlogix, it will not work. even with the throttle set to get past the initial boot thing, it would usually hang at "Checking disk" or soon thereafter. Swapping PCI card might help (if you only have 3 put them in the top slots). Otherwise this config may never work right. Marty PS The Daystar card does support G4 in 6 slot models, but I don't have a g4 zif. |

Your drive is probally formatted as HFS, it needs to be HFS+ to run X. You need to reformat it under the os9 drive setup utility. You should do a low level fromat just to be sure. Jim |
