Freshly formatted and erased drive, with a normal install of 10.2.
Is it possible to put the original processor in for the initial install and upgrade to 10.2.8? I'd also pull the PCI card, to be safe, though I certainly agree you shouldn't have to.
I might resort to that. When I had the Maxtor drive in there (all other hardware identical to the current setup) it would install all the updates with zero problems. I think the Maxtor drive is failing (whole other story) so I took it out and added the Western Digital.
Did you install BSD? (I don't know if this is important, but if BSD was not installed in 10.2 and then configured to install in 10.2.8, what would happen?)
Only if it was part of the standard 10.2 install. Quite honestly, I am not very Terminal savvy. And, this machine is for a friend who has pretty minimal needs. The plain old vanilla OSX is what I am shooting for here.
Good luck on your update. It should eventually work--when all the planets are properly aligned
Maybe my karma was just off yesterday. When I left home yesterday morning to go to the dentist, I discovered my car sitting in the garage with a flat tire.
