I have been using a souped-up 7500 for mirroring an Jaguar Server Xserve installation so that I could play with the configuration safely and not having to perform "open heart surgery" on a 24/7 Xserve. Lately the company I'm doing this for decided to move to Panther Server (which on Xserve is of course no problem). However, I would stil like to have a mirrored panther server installation on my 7500.
Basically the 7500 setup is this: -450 MHz G3 w/ 512 Kb L2 cache (perhaps 1 Mb) -554 Mb RAM -4 Gb IBM DDRS SCSI drive -3 Gb Quantum SCSI drive -stock Apple 600i SCSI cdrom -ADB keyboard/mouse -no additional PCI cards
I have Mac OS 9.2.2 (via OS9forever) on the 3 Gb hdd (where I also have the newest XPostFacto). However, no matter what I do I get a kernel panic during panther server installation. Actually, the installer boots fine and I can select English as primary language. The installer says it is reading packages after which I get a clear blue screen followed by a textmode kernel panic (EXC_BAD_ACCESS). I have disabled L2 cache, set the throttle to 8, used ROM video drivers, triple checked the SCSI termination, used only a pair of known perfect RAM modules and tried everything else I can think.
since the setup was runnning Jaguar 10.2.8 server just fine there must be something I've overlooked.
Any ideas?
