Howdy!
I've been having a terrible time trying to install OS 10.2 on my beige g3.
Its a 266 mhz DT Rev. 1 ROM, 160 mb RAM, ATI Radeon 7000 video, 40 gb WD ATA
HDD, 9.1 gb WD Scsi HDD. I just did a fresh install of OS 9.2.2 last night.
I've followed all warnings at lowendmac.com and partitioned the 40 Gb drive
with its own 8 gb partition. I'm able to install the first disk of jaguar
but the second disk gets about halfway thru the installation process and
just keeps attempting to reinstall the same epson printer drivers over and
over again. Any ideas? All help is appreciated!
When I installed OS X 10.2 on my G3 AIO, it would complete the install process,
but lock up during the boot/registration process. Turned out to be a flaky
RAM module. Removing the module allowed the G3 to complete the registration
process. The module appeared to work fine under 9.2, but not 10.2.
A flaky RAM module (or flaky ram slot) also causes random crashes. You might
try running the machine with different RAM modules removed and/or swapped
around.
