Hi, I have got the following system: PowerMac 8500 IDE PCI Card Sonnet Tempo Ultra ATA 66 (firmware 3.21) 336Mb RAM Sonnet Crescendo PCI 350Mhz/512Kb Video board 3Dfx Voodoo 3000 PCI 2Gb HD IDE (slave) with MacOS 9.1 installed on it and 40Gb HD IDE with two partition (8Gb, 32Gb free), both on one channel IDE Pioneer DVD 106-S IDE on the other channel IDE I have tried to install Mac OSX with XPF but after having installed the CD 1, the system doesn't restart. In verbose-mode I get the following messages before the computer is stopped: BSD root: disk0s6, major4, minor6 devfs on/dev and system stop Any idea? Thank in advance Andrea |

Try going back to OS 9, start XPostFacto, select Reinstall Extensions and Reinstall BootX from the Advanced menu, select your newly installed Mac OS X partition in the Start Mac OS X From menu, click XPostFacto's restart button, and see what happens. |

I assume the 8 Gb partition is where you put the OS X installation, and that it is the first partition, rather than the second? Since it is essential that the entire partition be LESS than 8 Gb, most folks make it a 7.9 Gb partition just to make sure. Could either of those be the problem? |
