For a production system, the latest dependable XPF remains 2.2.5. This does not handle Panther. There is no dependable way to run an unsupported install of Panther at this time. If you read Ryan's notes for XPF 3 it makes all this clear.
That's what you've overlooked.
You would need to mirror your Panther server on a Mac with New World ROMs. A vintage blue-and-white would do nicely, and not cost much money.

Hi list,
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?
