I received my copy of Panther as soon as it came out. I installed it without incident on my Ibook 700 mhz and our home Imac 500 mhz. My Mom's computer would not install her copy. I checked software update and all firmware updates prior to putting it in and updated everything. The Upgrade starts fine and runs through all the screens and starts writing the files, then at 45% completion, it stops (the blue aqua bar still is animated, but it will not go any farther).
After struggling with this for 2 days, I tried loading Jaguar and it went without a hitch and is running fine.

Wayne,
I had a very similar problem when trying to install Jaguar on an iMac rev. B (233MHz). It was not an upgrade install, however, as I zeroed out the drive before installation.
I was advised to try resetting (not just updating) the firmware, and was also advised that maybe the RAM which was happy with 10.1.5 was not happy with 10.2. I never got a chance to try these measures, because the suggestions came too late. I had promised to give the machine to a friend and there was a deadline on that, so I just re-installed 10.1.5.
Sorry I cannot give you a definite solution.
