Help! I've always admired the aesthetic design of the Cube, which came out right after I bought my first Sawtooth (figures). I've watched the prices for years, anticipating the day when it would fall below the "You paid how much?" threshold. Having arranged a swap, I've got my Cube, nicely upgraded with a GeForce 6200 256 Mb video card. I suspect this to be the source of my trouble. The thing will run OS 9, but KPs when booted from any OS X installer disc (I've tried several different versions). I see Tiger as the best OS for this machine, but my efforts to install it have yet to bear fruit. I tried target mode from the Sawtooth, and the installer ran fine, but KP again on reboot. Just to see, I tried a boot from my LaCie Quadra (where do they find these names?), which contains the back-up from my MacBookPro (10.5.6). Boots and runs, although not in a usable manner with a 450 MHz processor (1.5 GB RAM).
Is video handled that much differently in Leopard, compared to Tiger, to make the difference? I can't help but suspect the video card to be the culprit, having had similar experience with a flashed PC card that I got on eBay for my Sawtooth. My only other idea would be to install Tiger to the Quadra, boot from that, and clone to the Cube, but that seems a little silly...
