Same problem here: my 400 MHz Lombard also resists conversion to OSX,
irrespective of what configuration of RAM I try (up to and including
384 MB). From the replies to my post on the list a few weeks ago, I got
the impression that there is a series (apparently more than one?) of
Lombards that does not accept OSX. Consequently, I've given up,
reinstalled OS 9 and started looking for a Pismo.
Good luck anyway,
Peter

I've got a Lombard here that is freezing up trying to run or install
OS X on.
It's a 333Mhz model with 2 64 MB DIMMS, (though I've tried a 128 MB
dimm in combination and by itself in this one).
My original though was to just put in a HDD with OS X on it already
(from a dead PB G4...I figured at worst it would require doing an A&R
of the os, but the object was to salvage parts from a dead G4.)
No matter the memory configuration, the thing partly boots OS X then
freezes up. Zapping PRAM does no good. It doesn't boot from the OSX
install disk, either, though it gets farther than the HDD. With the
HDD it gets to the blue screen just after the gray screen stage of
booting, then locks up. With the CD I've gotten to various stages of
the install, as far as 'reading packages' one time.
When it freezes, it freezes, nothing happening no mouse movement, the
pinwheel stops turning.
It boots into 8.6 (on the original drive) just fine, so it's not a
loose processor card or such, besides, I've changed the ram in and out
on this one 3,245 times in the last two days. I know that <bleep> is
seated ;-)
With the original drive in it still won't boot from the CD.
Is there likely to be something wrong with the system or have I just
run into the mother of bad ram runs? (though the 128 MB stick is from
a iBook that did run OS X just fine.)
