The DVD-ROM drive may be at fault. I know that my Lombard has a really
flaky drive that tends to quit working randomly, so that may be a part
of it. Also, OS X is extremely finicky about RAM, so I'd try checking
some known good RAM. Also, you could try using Carbon Copy Cloner on a
friend's Lombard or Pismo with your HD in an external enclosure. It's
slow, but it just might work. Also, you might try cleaning the disc, as
fingerprints can really mess up an OS install. cough..Windoze
XP....cough...
I hope some of this can be of help,
Caleb

I know this subject has been talked about a lot on this list, and I
went
back and checked the archives, but am still having a problem I can't
resolved. I have a 400 mhz Lombard with 320 Mg ram and a 40 Gig Hard
Drive.
I have been trying to install OS 10.2 and it keeps crashing or
freezing up
about a third through the install. I get the HOLD the POWER BUTTON DOWN
screen or it simply freezes. I tried swapping out the top Ram and no
difference. I have the Hard Drive partitioned in two and on one I am
running
OS 9.2.2 with no problem. I am trying to install OS X on the second
partition. Can anyone tell me what else I should do or check...Thanks
very
much. Also, I have nothing in the PCMCIA slot.
