This may sound dumb. I will risk it.

Do these machines have a CUDA switch?

It won’t Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup? If you can Safe Boot, 
simply download and reinstall the 10.5.8 Combo Update, then you should be 
good…remember, if you’re short on HD space, you might want to use something 
like an older version of Monolingual to strip out the Intel code from Leopard 
since Leopard is bloated with both Intel & PPC code and is twice as big as 
necessary.

The 4 CD set often fails because of scratched CDs, but you don’t need all the 
CDs, you ONLY need CD #1, the first CD to boot. If you can get CD #1 to boot, 
then DESELECT all the OPTIONS so that it’s only installing the base system 
software, then you can later navigate to any additional software you need on 
the other CDs and install that by double-clicking the installer packages, or 
better yet, just download the current versions from the internet. IF you get 
CD#1 to boot and install Tiger, you will have access to Software Update via 
internet, but I don’t think Safari is installed, so you’ll need to manually 
install either Safari from CD#2, or download any other browser beforehand and 
transfer it manually with a USB or local network connection.

Did you try the Netboot 9.2.2 free OS X installer package that you can download 
from Apple?

Well Server worked so the drive isn’t bad. If the data on the system isn’t 
important I’d boot from the server installer disk again, nuke and pave the hard 
drive (drop the partition, re-add it), and try using one of the other 
installers again.

Maybe reset the PRAM?

G4 questions

2016-06-29 Thread LochDhueDude 
Have an iBook G4 with a corrupted Leopard install. I wanted to install Tiger 
and Classic Mode, or OS9 if possible. My 4 CD set Tiger intaller wouldn't boot. 
A number of other DVD Tiger installers wouldn't boot. Tried every OS9 installer 
I could find including last year's patched 'OS9.2.2 for G4s including 
unsupported machines'. Nothing would boot except OS X Server 10.4...so I ran 
the intaller, which worked but I can't find the product key...
Any suggestions Bruce, et. al.?

Entering the cave of the Atlanta VA Hospital for some radiology procedures. 
Will write later with questions about my Sawtooth running dual Sonnet 1.8ghz 
7448's, I think...

Thanks!
