Again, I think the problem happens on certain type G3 chips (Aluminum vs
Copper) and I think I got that bad (wrong) CPU type which has problems
installing Mac OS X.
Again, I've installed Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 on a Pismo G3 and it works
great....
And for this Lombard , I've installed Mac OS 9 and it works great, though
I fear it'll freeze occasionally like Mac OS 9 is famous for (not
protected memory)...
Actually, just yesterday I installed Mac OS X 10.0 (then updated to
10.0.4) and now System Preferences doesn't come up. it shows in the Dock
but when I click it nothing happens.
Still, it has complete froze on me once in a while... I'm leaving it at
the Desktop of Mac OS X for a long time and running nothing to see if
somehow Mac OS X is doing too much stuff in the background that is making
the CPU too hot and therefore freeze after a few hours of just leaving it
on.

Personally I have never heard the rumours of problems loading OSX on a
Lombard.
Ive installed 10.2 and 10.3 with no problems. Ive even installed 10.4 on
a couple of them without XPostFacto.
I put 10.2 and 10.3 on one but I copied it using Carbon Copy Cloner. I
haven't done a straight install on one. Both 10.2 & 10.3 worked fine,
just like the other 200 machines that got those images installed on.
