model: Beige Powermac G3, desktop powerlogix G3 upgrade card 256+128+32 MB RAM HD= 40 gig 2 partitions (10-30) when I launch XPF and select the X partition as goalvolume and X.2 install disk as bootvolume. XPF starts to copy things. The computer shuts down and restarts= the CD drive is spinning like hell (blank screen, orange LED), after a while it stops (blanc screen, orange LED), the LED of the screen flicks green for a second and becomes orange again. All the suggestions about verbose, throttle... gave the same result. however in the open firmware boot (keyboard= input device, ATI mach64_3DUPro= output device) at the point where the LED blinks green a red rectangle with white letters appears: OUT OF RANGE en dissappears again when the LED becomes orange. cann somebody solve this problem?? |

As far a I remember on a Mac like yours you have to install X on the FIRST partition of your hd AND partition HAS TO BE SMALLER than 8 GB (including partition table, drivers, etc). So, your partition sheme (10/30) is likely to cause the trouble. Mike |
