10.2.3 install fine and is rock solid, anything higher do not boot. Actually I upgrade from 10.2.3 to 10.2.6 with the combo, that just won't boot normally. I then boot from 9.1 and with the sonnet installer I do as no X is installed and restart . It does then boot in 10.2.6 without any cache(slow), but just won't restart. It does not matter if X is first installed with sonnet or XPF. PM 7300 with sonnet 700 Radeon 7000 Sonnet ata/100 pci card Two maxtor ata 133 HDs Belkin usb pci card 608 Mb Any ideas ? |

Interesting you mention that. I had some probs with my original 700, but got a swap and it seemed okay after that with a few oddball quircks. When I upgraded to the 800, I noticed a big difference in stability with the same config...... I upgrade beige's for people locally as a hobby/extra$$ and have been putting them in the 800, so no data to confirm, but I really like the chip, so far no RMA's, and I have done 5 machines with it. three 8500's, one 9500, and one 8600. I thought it was just me, HHMM...... |

I have a Sonnet G4 800 in my 7300. I have not had a single problem. It seems to me from reading the forums etc that the G4 700 is causing a lot more problems than the 800. Will they let you swap the 700 for an 800? |

Sonnet will exchange the card if I want to, but I will try some other trick they told me before the swap (if any). They say it is probably not the card that is at fault. The guy was nice, that's good support. I will keep you posted. |

same prob with my original g4/700. Sonnet replaced it quickly and RMA chip was fine. Recently upgraded to the 800, improved system noticibly with 10.2.6...... |

I had a similar problem where 10.2.6 would not boot with my Sonnet G4/700. My Sonnet G3/500 works fine with 10.2.6. in the same machine. Also, have similar set up to yours: 7000 Radeon, Sonnet ATA/100 pci card with 2/60GB IBM drives attached, and a Sonnet Tango Firewire/USB pci card, and 500MB of RAM. I just sent my G4/700 card back to Sonnet for a replacement. We'll see... |
