I've just done some testing here on my 9.2.2 ISO and I've found the following: - Removing "Apple Audio Extension" appears to prevent some kind of corruption which allows MacsBugs to give non-corrupt stack traces - The resulting stack trace points at "AINI 8042 05AE Startup ASLM PPC" - Further removing "Open Transport ASLM Modules" allows boot to proceed nearly all the way except for a hang just before the progress bar reaches the end - Finally removing "Multiprocessing" allows boot to proceed all the way to the desktop Alfonso/John can you confirm whether removing these 3 extensions works for your images too? If you are able to run the OS 9 installer all the way through and manually mount the hd images to remove them by hand before the next boot, do you end up with a bootable OS 9 HD image? ATB, Mark.
