In fact, I have 2 installs. I have a 33 gig SCSI drive split into 3, 11 gig partitions. I have 10.3.2 on 2 partitions. So, not only is there no 8 gig limit, there is no "first 8 gig of the drive" limit either.
U want to fly over here and look huh? I'm telling you it happened on my 9600. If you don't wanna believe that it does occur in some circumstances then you'd be ignoring me and a number of other people here... Ryan Rempel has, I think, acknowledged that the problem exists and may be able to do something about it.
This is on my S900. It has a couple of other SCSI drives - an 18 gig single partition with 10.2.8 installed, and a 9 gig with 9.2.2 installed.
I don't know what's causing your problem, but it is not the 10.3 installer.
As I theorized, it might be pot luck that the 9600 is closer to one of the Macs that does suffer the 8GB Bug. I dunno. Whatever it is it doesn't affect your S900 obviously :-)
What it could be is my ACARD SCSI card. I know some of them masquerade as ATA devices on the bus in order to achieve greater compatibility. Maybe OS X's installer falsely identifies these?
