Okay, I've done a bunch of internet research and haven't found an answer, so I thought I would come here. I have an iMac 9.1 Software install CD. That I have used to install 9.1 sucessfully onto my 4400/200, 6400/180 and 8600/300 without any problems. So when 9.1 on my G3 server started to act a bit wired I decided to use it and install as well on it. But after a init of the drive and clean install I get an error type 11, with the suggestion to restart without extensions. I've tried that numerous times without any success. I've removed all third party ram, all but the original hd from apple. Put the original 1m vram chip back in, pressed the Cuda button and nothing works... Does anyone have any ideas? Short of purchasing another OS 9 cd?
This sounds like a hardware problem. Since the G3 was already working with OS 9.1, then 'started to act a bit weird', I would suspect something broke. I would suggest running a disk check (read/write test) on the HD that is mounted, then a RAM check. If that does not reveal anything, try pulling the original HD and RAM and replacing them (one at a time) with the other HD's and RAM you pulled.
