There's no junk in or attached to this
G-4. When a relative loaned me her iMac OS-X (10.1) software install disk
months ago it installed X on my external hard drive no problem (the drive
died later of unnatural causes) and it could boot from that drive if I
wanted. Nothing on this G-4 was any different then than it is now. I didn't
much care for X then, but lately I wanted to try newer versions of iMovie
and it requires it. The 10.2 installer is obviously another step backward.
If you got OS X to run on some old box, good for you.
At first , I felt that this might be a trolling issue of some kind. You have given very little specific information on your "G4". I have several G4's and have a lot of 3rd party PCi cards that are installed in them. I have most versions of the G4 on hand ( AGP, QS, MDDP, Gooseneck, PB17) , but not necessarily all speeds of each version. All of them are running OS X perfectly. Could you be more specific as to exactly which G4 you are referring and exactly what third party cards you are installing in it. Also, it will help to know more info on what drives you have installed and in which bays, what cables are attached, and how they are jumpered. I feel there must be extenuating circumstances ,of some kind, in your instance. I have yet to find a G4 that I have not been able to put any version of OS X on it that I wanted and have it run perfectly. OS X was originally designed to run on the G4. If it will not run on yours, there is something out of the norm wrong with yours. Give us a little more details please.
