Greetings all, I have an upgraded Digital Audio G4 (OWC Mercury 1.5GHz CPU, 1.5 Gig RAM, Pioneer 112 SuperDrive, etc.). Regardless of hard drive, the unit refuses to boot up the retail Install DVD of Leopard. I get the initial grey screen/silver Apple with rotating gear - 30 seconds in (with optical drive whirring away), I can hear the HD time out and spin down; soon thereafter the silver screen and rotating gear freeze, and I have to do a force reboot or shut down. I've tried various HDs, new to used, large and small, all with same results. OWC reports no known issues re: the CPU and Leopard, and the RAM is fully tested and hale; so are the drives.
I took one 40 Gig HD, slapped it into a QuickSilver I have with a slower Sonnet CPU (1 GHz G4), and it boots up via the Install DVD fine. Am I missing something?
