I'm also having that familiar problem of trying to install Jaguar on a Beige G3. I have 160 MB of RAM, a factory plain machine with a 266 G3 AV, although the hard drive has been upgraded with a Maxtor 30 GB drive which I partitioned with 7GB on the first partition for OS X, a 4 GB partition for 9 and the rest as a data disk. I think its probably a Rev. A motherboard, but I'm not sure and I'm looking at a panic screen right now (the manufacture date was the month after the Beige G3 was introduced). I have a 10.0 install CD, a 10.1 upgrade CD and a 10.2 upgrade CD. I have tried every combination I can think of to get this thing installed, and have reverted back to a clean install of 10.0 and 10.1 (which install flawlessly, along with 9), but can't get Jaguar to go. I've reset the pram with 3 dings, pressed the CUDA switch for 30 seconds, repaired permissions, and run disk repair, but the same thing always happens: When Jaguar boots I get a kernal panic. The information covers most of the screen, but it is the first line that is the most perplexing to me. It says:
panic (cpu 0): Unable to find driver for this platform: "AAPL, Gossamer".
The install itself always goes just fine in that it goes through the whole process and reports that it was successfully installed. I have done full installs and custom installs where I have eliminated the foreign languages and the localized versions and I never have any problem until it boots back to the freshly installed jaguar on the hard drive with the same panic message. One thing that is curious though, is that it never installs anything off the second Jaguar CD, is this normal?
Any ideas?

Thanks for suggestions.

First I do not have an additional VRAM chip, so that is not the problem.

I have been able to get the lines to go away.

It goes like this:

I will open up the machine and check to make sure all the connections to
the motherboard are secure and then I will boot the machine. etc........

Any other advice would be appreciated.
Just for fun (to eliminate possibilities) play with the monitor's signal
cable, working it (bend,twist, fold, etc.) at its base where it's hard-wired
to the monitor - see what you get, if anything.
Best regards,
Dana
