Panther on Lombard 400
Hi, I've got an OS X Panther install disc that came with a Mac mini, and I can't get my Lombard to boot from the DVD. It says install disc, but the Lombard won't even mount it. If this will help, the Lombard is currently running OS X Jaguar with 192 MB of RAM, the 6 GB Hard Drive and it's got the LG DVD-ROM drive.

I would imagine that most of these applications would work under Classic, but I haven't tested them. One possible problem, though, could be with Toast as it might not have a cleared access to the hardware under Classic. Depending on the version you have, you might be able to download an updater that will make it native under OS X. Same with PhotoShop 7.

Re: Jaguar or Panther on Lombard?
They will work better in Classic, and I would go with MacOS X 10.3, personally.

Re: Panther on Lombard install problem
Folks: Don't know if this will resolve your problem but it may be worth a try. boot up into open firmeware (Apple-Option-O-F) at the prompt type reset-nvram (without the quotes) then hit return type set-defaults then return type reset-all then return the machine should now reboot (if it doesn't type mac-boot and hit return) This is a fix I picked up somewhere a while ago that does seem to fix odd problems from time to time. It came from an Apple tech (at least that is what I was told) and I'm not completely sure what it does although I believe it is somewhat akin to resetting parameter ram (may be the same thing in fact) or it may be that and then some. Anyhow, as I said, it does fix some odd problems from time to time and it has never caused me any trouble. ... e On Dec 30, 2003, at 8:51 PM, Richard Smykla wrote: Robert, I had the exact same problem during the install. The only way I could find to complete the install was to remove the RAM from the upper slot. No amount of PRAM zapping, video driver deletion, permissions repairing, or even reformatting the destination drive would change the 'color-meltdown' abortive install process. Removing the top-slot RAM worked. BTW, running an exhaustive RAM check utility from OS 9 finds NO problem with the memory module, and I never saw a similar problem in any version of OS X from 10.1 up to 10.2.6. The good news is you can reinstall the RAM module once you've got a working Panther OS. Everything works as it should, with one major exception: trying to repair permissions using Disk Utility. Since installing Panther on this machine, any attempt to repair permissions from the boot disk will cause the color-meltdown every time. The only other time I've gotten the meltdown event is during a large ( 200MB) network copy from the Lombard to my G4. Smaller copies seem OK. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it seems the video RAM gets corrupted during these operations, and locks the system up tight (no cursor movement or response to keyboard) - the three-finger salute is the only thing that will get you out of this condition. It seems clear (to me at least) that this is a (OS) software problem/conflict. Hope someone eventually figures this out, or Apple supplies a fix. Being as it only happens when more than the supported amount of RAM (256MB) is installed, I doubt Apple is too concerned with this. This problem only began happening with the 10.2.8 version of the OS, and has persisted through the 10.3.2 revision. Feel free to post any ideas or suggestions you may discover about this; I've scoured the 'net, and have yet to find a solution. Good luck. . . Rick I have a lombard with 512 RAM and 40GB HD. currently running the latest version of 10.2. When i try to install Panther it gets most of the way through the install and then the screen goes funky as if both the vertical and horizontal hold both go at the same time. i tried an archive and install, completely wiping the HD with norton and installing nothing but Panther, but it refuses to install. i got the same problem with the ill fated 10.2.something upgrade that i was dumb enough to install right when it was new.

Panther on Lombard install problem
I have a lombard with 512 RAM and 40GB HD. currently running the latest version of 10.2. When i try to install Panther it gets most of the way through the install and then the screen goes funky as if both the vertical and horizontal hold both go at the same time. i tried an archive and install, completely wiping the HD with norton and installing nothing but Panther, but it refuses to install. i got the same problem with the ill fated 10.2.something upgrade that i was dumb enough to install right when it was new. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated -- Robert Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Re: Panther on Lombard install problem
Robert, I had the exact same problem during the install. The only way I could find to complete the install was to remove the RAM from the upper slot. No amount of PRAM zapping, video driver deletion, permissions repairing, or even reformatting the destination drive would change the 'color-meltdown' abortive install process. Removing the top-slot RAM worked. BTW, running an exhaustive RAM check utility from OS 9 finds NO problem with the memory module, and I never saw a similar problem in any version of OS X from 10.1 up to 10.2.6. The good news is you can reinstall the RAM module once you've got a working Panther OS. Everything works as it should, with one major exception: trying to repair permissions using Disk Utility. Since installing Panther on this machine, any attempt to repair permissions from the boot disk will cause the color-meltdown every time. The only other time I've gotten the meltdown event is during a large ( 200MB) network copy from the Lombard to my G4. Smaller copies seem OK. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it seems the video RAM gets corrupted during these operations, and locks the system up tight (no cursor movement or response to keyboard) - the three-finger salute is the only thing that will get you out of this condition. It seems clear (to me at least) that this is a (OS) software problem/conflict. Hope someone eventually figures this out, or Apple supplies a fix. Being as it only happens when more than the supported amount of RAM (256MB) is installed, I doubt Apple is too concerned with this. This problem only began happening with the 10.2.8 version of the OS, and has persisted through the 10.3.2 revision. Feel free to post any ideas or suggestions you may discover about this; I've scoured the 'net, and have yet to find a solution. Good luck. . .
