Re: Lombard won't boot.

Hi Caleb, my experience with Jaguar on my Lombard 333 were not that good. Lenghty spinning ball and so on all over the place. Mail in particular was close to being unusable. Even so with a 5400 rpm 40 GB HD and 384MB of RAM. Panther, however, was a whole different world and I still run 10.3.9 on i

Re: Lombard won't boot.

Well, I've got my problem fixed, so thanks for all the advice. I'm going to order a new copy of Jaguar from OWC, or, if I can convince my DVD drive to read the Panther recovery DVD I have lying around, I'll install that. It took three tries to get my 9 CD to boot on my machine, so I think my ear

Re: Lombard won't boot

Tim, What I grew to realize with my Lombard with the bad cache is that it's just much better and easier on the book to let it sleep overnight rather then shut down. While the reset was no real hassle, allowing it to sleep is easier on the power switch anyhow, bad cache or not.So like

Re: Lombard won't boot

Caleb, Hold down the '9' key while booting - hopefully you'll be able to boot into OS 9. One alternative is that you may be able to do a 'safe' boot in OS X and recover your files. Just hold down the Shift key while booting - this may help prevent the 'Services' hang. Sounds like you need

Re: Lombard won't boot

If it's the L2, it shouldn't be doing that. To me, it sounds like a failing hard drive or a corrupted partition, but that's my just my Windoze experience talking. Personally, I'd use the chance to go ahead and upgrade to OS X, but that's just what I'd do. It all depends on how much RAM you have

Re: Lombard won't boot

If this is so, and Clark says he could do this on a WS, I wonder what I was doing wrong. Still, the suggestion in the past has been to start with the memory. If it's the L2 cache (which is a memory register--if that's the right term), you'll have to swap with a compatible processor card. We

Thanks, Clark. I'm not sure where I read--or got--the info about open firmware. At the time I was having problems with a WS II. I was never able to open firmware with 9, but could with X. Maybe me fingers waren't workin' rright! Thanks, again for the info. J Sanderson On 2 Jan 2006, at
