Do you know if the 128MB was standard or if one 64MB chip was added later? The OS X installer for the late versions is kind of picky and I've read here a lot of stories from Lombard owners that had to remove all extra memory to install a later version of OS X. After the installation, they would put back the memory and it would most of the time work. Another thing you could possibly do, if you have a Mac that has SCSI and is recent enough to install OS X would be to start your Lombard in SCSI target disk mode, then connect it to another Mac and perform the installation from that Mac. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] interrupts locked out: adj. When someone is ignoring you. In a restaurant, after several fruitless attempts to get the waitress's attention, a hacker might well observe "She must have interrupts locked out". The synonym `interrupts disabled' is also common. Variations abound; "to have one's interrupt mask bit set" and "interrupts masked out" are also heard.
