<< As for your problem, i had this happen to me the first time i
started
upgrading my memory. I was trying a 256mb, and it just would not
install OSX. But OS 9 would work ok for me.
Well needless to say, it all began working when i took out the 256mb.
What your discribing sounds like the same thing. Do you have the means
to try another type of 512mb? >>
I dont think this machine supports 512MB dimms. Anyway, I dont know
the
details but rev 1 blue and whites have a data corruption problem on
the stock ATA
busses. I also think a 120GB drive may be too big for the stock ATA
on a rev
1, but it might just be the largest allowable size.

They don't support the 512MB's and yes the rev A had issues with data
corruption. FYI, I have a rev B/2 whatnot and OS X works fine. 512MB
stick wouldn't work in it. I had an IDE 120GB Maxtor in it for a bit
that worked fine, loaded OS X, etc on it. Since have moved to SCSI.
It is a great Mac though. Still looking for a cheap PCI Radeon card
though ...
