The wallstreet with 512 megs ram, Blue Chip G4, 500mhz has stopped booting. I cannot boot into OS9. I get error box with no info after the first Icon mounts the desktop. I get the same box with error message Bus Error or Illegal Instruction when booting from CD. Bing a wall street it cannot boot from OSX. I have removed the processor, put in 233 no cache original, all ram, replacing with 128meg chip. Still no boot. I can boot from OS8 disk and install OS8.1. Reformated and installed to second partion. Installed OS 9 and back to same no boot situation. Any IDeas? Me thinks may be bad MOBoard.
I realize you've reseated the CPU and memory, try doing the same for both ends of the drive cable and any other sub-assemblies such as the PMU. Have you reset the PMU
P.S. A WallStreet CAN run OS X, my previous laptop was such a beast. -- -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting
