This one's weird and got me stumped. I'm trying to install Panther 10.3 to an
empty IDE drive on ATA bus 1 on this B & W (see spec's below). The OS X
install disk installs the core system but fails to ask for the
second disk needed
to complete the installation. It only says finished without asking for the
second disk and then restarts to a kernel panic.
Then if I reboot in single user mode it boots to a text screen that ends with:
"Kernel Version:
Darwin Kernel Version 7.0.8
Wed Sept 24 15:48:39 PDT 2003: root:xnu/xnys-517.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC
panic: we are hanging here"
These are the gray OS X install disks purchased from OWC. I know the set
works on other B & W's. But disk 1 needs to ask for disk 2 to install all the
Panther apps like Safari, iPhoto, etc, a bunch of other stuff and
then optimize
and complete the installation.
You can install the second disk manually. I believe it is a mpkg,
just double click on it.
Or is it not booting (in normal mode). If so I'd suggest running the
install again.
I have hit the cuda button, and confirmed the firmware update 1.1 has been
installed. I'm out ideas. Help!! What am I missing?
The fresh install of OS 9.2.2 on the SCSI drive seems to work OK so I believe
the basic hardware of the B & W is sound -- well it is a rev 1 but only has
one IDE attached to ATA bus 1.
System Configuration:
350 MHz G3 Blue & White, rev 1
544 MB RAM
ATA bus 0 - DVD-ROM pulled from a G4 Sawtooth and a Zip 100
ATA bus 1 - Seagate ST340810A (40 gig HD - empty, erased with disk utility)
Video - stock ATA Rage 128 (16 MB)
PCI slot: Adaptec 2930CU SCSI card
SCSI bus 1 - Seagate ST39140N (9 GB HD) with OS 9.2.2 installed
Take your time I'm digest mode and not in a rush. --glen
