Lombard OS X Install Crash
I know this subject has been talked about a lot on this list, and I went back and checked the archives, but am still having a problem I can't resolved. I have a 400 mhz Lombard with 320 Mg ram and a 40 Gig Hard Drive. I have been trying to install OS 10.2 and it keeps crashing or freezing up about a third through the install. I get the HOLD the POWER BUTTON DOWN screen or it simply freezes. I tried swapping out the top Ram and no difference. I have the Hard Drive partitioned in two and on one I am running OS 9.2.2 with no problem. I am trying to install OS X on the second partition. Can anyone tell me what else I should do or check...Thanks very much. Also, I have nothing in the PCMCIA slot. Scott -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Lombard OS X Install Crash
Your installing OS X on the second partition, could be the issue. It wants to be on the first partition. Either install it there or don't partition. Tried this on a WS II, installing on the second partition. It would not install until I repartitioned the drive to install X on the first. 9 presents no such issue.

Re: Lombard OS X Install Crash
The DVD-ROM drive may be at fault. I know that my Lombard has a really flaky drive that tends to quit working randomly, so that may be a part of it. Also, OS X is extremely finicky about RAM, so I'd try checking some known good RAM. Also, you could try using Carbon Copy Cloner on a friend's Lombard or Pismo with your HD in an external enclosure. It's slow, but it just might work. Also, you might try cleaning the disc, as fingerprints can really mess up an OS install. cough..Windoze XPcough... I hope some of this can be of help, Caleb On Sunday, Jan 8, 2006, at 22:18 America/Chicago, Scott Warnock wrote: I know this subject has been talked about a lot on this list, and I went back and checked the archives, but am still having a problem I can't resolved.

Re: Lombard OS X Install Crash
James, The Lombard uses the NewWorld ROM, instead of the OldWorld that the WS II uses, so that doesn't apply. I've got 9.2 on my first partition and Jaguar on my second, with no troubles.
