Darwin Sison wrote on 11/4/03 So far after several attempts of reinstalling X in my S900 has been bad. I adjusted the throttle in XPostFacto and even lowered the bus setting using the MACh Speed Control panel and still no successful install. I even reinitialized the scsi hard drive to install X, but again no luck their
Darwin, I see that you are still having problems. I just looked at your first post and than checked the XLR ZIF Carrier User Manual. Question #1 is the drive you are trying to install on a separate drive from the one that has 9.1 on it? Question #2 if it is a separate drive did you use the 9.1 drive setup to format the drive? Question #3 Did you install the XLR speed control from the CD on that drive before you installed the upgrade card? Question #4 If this a separate drive did you install 9.1 clean install? I see that you tried cranking the speed down, what PCI cards do you have in the slots and which slot's? Make absolutely sure that your SCSI termination is on the last drive in the computer and no where else. I removed SCSI devices from my S-900 and used only ATA HD's and CD-ROM (Apple). I also removed my USB card and the only cards that were in the PCI slots were my Video card and the Ahard ATA 66 and the Sonnet ATA 100 card. BTW I have 2 separate HD, one has 2 part ions a 10GB with 9.2.2 and the other just 9.1. I installed on a new Seagate 80 GB Barracuda ATA drive which had a fresh install of 9.1 plus the XLR8 Speed Control. I also put on that drive the L2 CacheConfig.img. In the XPostfacto interface in the options pane I set the input as the keyboard and the output to my video card. Main interface helper - "None" install from CD and reboot from from the drive that you want to install on. I had a few problems because I forget to set something's and I had the HD formatted by my son on his Dual 1-1/4 Ghz G4 with then Disk Utility for 9 driver. That does not work on old world machines. Use the 9.1 or 9.2.2 Drive setup. After correcting that problem it went like a breeze. I just finished updating to 10.2.8 this morning. I am getting use to the strange and unusal way of navigation. I managed to replace my Apple Menu items and F-Keys functions by putting alias's of each app and folder that I use all the time in the Finder GO menu "Favorites". Now I just pull it down find what I need and let it go on it and there I am. Let me know about the questions I mentioned above and I will scratch my head and see if I can help you. R.
