Thanks for your reply Jeff. The only thing I have noticed, is that after installing OS7.6 from a Bootable CD with external CD-ROM - After OS7.6 has finished installing - "Finishing Installation", as opposed to coming back to a installation screen - it just hangs, by pressing the rest button on the back of the IIci & the IIci restarts, it boots into OS7.6 with no problems.
I have tried this with various combinations ; 8 Mb Memory with No Cache Card with 80Mb Apple HDD 128Mb with No Cache Card with 80Mb Apple HDD 8 Mb Memory with Cache Card with 80Mb Apple HDD 128Mb with Cache Card with 80Mb Apple HDD 8 Mb Memory with No Cache Card with 2.0Gb Apple (Seagate) HDD 128Mb with No Cache Card with 2.0Gb Apple (Seagate) HDD 8 Mb Memory with Cache Card with 2.0Gb Apple (Seagate) HDD 128Mb with Cache Card with 2.0Gb Apple (Seagate) HDD No matter which configuration, it actually the same result - I have tried an installation with 7.5 / 7.5.3 & 7.5.5 & no problems. Any Ideas on this one, would be appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Garrison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Compact Macs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 6:21 AM Subject: Re: Installation of OS7.6 on an IIci - Freezing at the end ofinstallation ? > on 9/19/04 7:39 AM, Geraint Searle - Web at [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > > Old Technology - Installing OS7.6 on an IIci ; > > > > Has anyone experienced this problem ? > > > > I have installed OS 7.5.3 with 7.5.5 update with this system & it doesn't > > experience the same problem (Is this an OS 7.6 feature ?). > > > > There are no "Time Bombs" or "Freezing" during normal operation, if in > > 7.5.3,7.55 or 7.6 - Only when installing 7.6. > > > > Any Ideas ? > > > > Many Thanks > > > > Geraint Searle > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > I think it's a Daystar problem.
