Greetings all I have two hard drives, a 18 gig for OS9( to keep all my cool apps) and a 9 gig for OSX. I can't seem to get past the startup. I get the blue screen. Xpostfacto runs fine up until it goes to shutdown and reboot into the install disk. I have removed all pci cards except my video card (ATI Radon Mac edition 7000/32 megs) and the L2 cache. I'm using XPF 3.0a4. I'm trying to install 10.2. After I reboot into the install disk I get the Apple blue screen. Then it goes into the Verbose screen, text run. I get error messages of various things have failed to install."macsales.com.lokit... did not install"," bad range". It's not a long list of error but then is just stop with nothing else happens. No, the machine hasn't frozen,the cusour moves. No other text appears and the install goes no futher. I never actually get Jaguar to install. I've been wrestling with this for a while. This problem is giving me a brain tumor for sure. Any input would be appreciated Here's my config: •Target drive formatted w/latest version of Speedtools •8600 w/igig memory •ATI 7000 Mac edition w/32megs Vram •18gig IBM drive (OS9) •1 gig of memory •Sony internal CD Drive •Seagate 9 gig (OSX Target Drive) •All All other PCI cards removed •All external drives disconnected •Sonnet G3/500 upgrade card/ current driver installed Thanks in Advance |

My first suggestion would be to revert back to the built in video of your 8600. I had a Radeon Mac Ed (not the 7000) and seem to remember having issues, but it was so long ago and with OS 10.0 I can't be sure. When it doubt though, I always go back to the built in video. Yes it may not have the VRAM (4MB if you upgraded) but it does the job and has never given me problems. If that works for the install, I would then put the Radeon back in (slot A) and see what happens. I've installed 10.2 on my 8600 to the original 4GB SCSI on the internal fast bus and it went without issue using both the latest release of XPostFacto and the Alpha (8600 w/ G3@500 & 672MB RAM) -Kirk |
