I was given a non working powermac g4 with a sonnet 1.8GHZ upgrade in it. The problem is that it won't install any os. With leopard it just says that the install failed. "could not validated the basesystem package." I have tried replacing the optical drive, using a different installer to no avail. When i ran the apple hardware test it said that there was a problem with the mother board. Could the result be affected by the sonnet chip? I want to make sure that is the problem before I buy a motherboard. Thanks!!!!!!! -Jonas
