You need to check that your iMac has the latest firmware update, which IIRC is 4.19f1 or something like that. Take your iMac online and run Software Update in the Control Panels folder. If your iMac needs the firmware update, it will download it. Simply follow the instructions. You need to do this while booted into OS 9, and before you attempt to install OS X. Why? The firmware update prepares your iMac to handle the graphics demands of OS X. If you don't do it, you could wind up with an iMac in a coma.
