Downloaded and used XPF b17 to install Jaguar 6C115. It worked great! I now have Jaguar up and running on my S900 in little under 2 hours. As a side note, neither b15 or b16 were able to install. Both would say that there was a problem writing to NVRAM. Guess it doesn't matter much any more though.....:) -Robyn |

The number of bytes written to NVRAM is dependent on how many options you choose during installation. Since my devices have long identifier strings, they use up more NVRAM space than other people may have experienced. Also, the install process has to identify both the install source and destination, so installation requires more NVRAM space than when just booting a previously installed system. I have to disable selection of input and output devices during installation to avoid the NVRAM space issue. But during normal booting into OS X, I can select both input and output devices and there's enough space. It'll be interesting to see whether there's enough space saved by b17 to select my devices during install of Jaguar. |

Version 2.2b17 needs a little bit less NVRAM to do the install (about 9 bytes), and that must have been just enough to make it work for you. |
