Installing Jaguar on 9500 |

I am trying to install Jag on a simple 9500 (with a Sonnet G3/350 Mhz board and 336 MB RAM). All the rest is stock (SCSI HD, etc). I used Apple Utilites to create a 2.3 GB partition, ran XPOSTFACTO, then installed from the original Jag CD-ROM. After installation, it hangs upon boot up (the gray Apple logo shows, then freezes, and the screen is covered with vertical "noise" stripes). Happens every time I try to boot. However, everything works fine with Sys 9.1 or Sys 9.2.2 on other partitions. Any ideas? |

Could be ram. Try interleaving or deinterleaving depending on where you started... Also try booting with only 128 installed. As a test. Marty |

The two obvious questions that come to mind for me are what video card are you using and is your memory 60ns or 70ns or is it mixed? Anything below 64MB is most likely a slower 70ns part. This is more of a problem for G4's but with Jaguar slower memory could possibly be a problem for G3's too. |

I have vague memories that starting in verbose mode also got around some difficulties. |

From memory, try restarting from the keyboard with ctrl+cmd+power when the stripes screen appears, boot into OS9 by holding the option key on restart, and run XPF to start into Jaguar from your newly installed system. |
