Re: Beige G3 not booting from CD!
Oh, right! Still, it could be what I've just said, the autosensing routers which are not compatible with some Asanté cards. If you have a 10baseT hub lying around, try to connect the Performa to it and see if it works properly! :) MM On May 6, 12:17 pm, g...@gmx.net wrote: The G3 connects fine!

So far, I have been unable to get the thing into the net. I got an Asante Ethernet card with a RJ-45 jack, but doesn`t like neither my modern routers or my 10/100 switch. But are you using a PCI Ethernet card? Why don't you use the RJ-45 interface on the motherboard? (of course it is 10baseT, but it should work well if you're not doing any network-intensive work!) Asantes have trouble with auto-sensing routers... (at least the NuBus versions did, not sure about the PCI ones!) I have a IIci with an Asante card, and the solution for my problem was getting a 10baseT hub! :P MM -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

The term G4 could describe either a desktop or laptop, and there so so many combinations of various G4 models and OS versions available for them. == The G4 is a Sawtooth I think, it is 450MHz 576kbRAM, tower all stock PPC and yes, I am using LepoardAssist which worked just fine. The Intel is a MacBook that passes all the tests, CMD+S(including DT is ok) and CMD_V ok, but will not progress past the gear rotating. The install disk is 10.5 fat. == It's strange that it's asking you to partition the HD. I'm guessing that perhaps you've got a PPC G4 and an Intel Mac? If that's the case, you're probably going to have problems. I believe a PPC Mac can actually boot 10.5 Leopard from a GUID partition format rather than the normal Apple partition format. I also believe that if you're booted on an Intel Mac it will not install onto an Apple partition format HD, so you'd be required to reformat to GUID before the installer would work correctly. Looking at the options in the installer, it has selected the GUID format for an Intel, If you're using two PPC Macs, the question would be why is the installer asking you to partition the HD unless it's detecting that it's perceived as a wrong partition format? If you only erased the HD rather than partitioned the HD, the original format should still be correct, so the installer shouldn't warn you unless it's an Intel/PPC thing. = Strangely, it would not allow me to initalize the hd and I attempted to see the contents and it did load a folder on the G4, but nothing appears, so I tried to copy the bad 236Mb disk to my big USB 500Mb hd and it would do nothing - no effort to copy anything. = Since your much smarter than me, what is this thing called GUID? GUID partition format rather than the normal Apple partition format, Looking at the partition map, it is showing something less than 1 partition, why? As a final issue, I suppose the issue is to get both Intel computers working in the FireWire and then the install should work BUT, keep in mind the problem we are attempting to work around is that the DVD drive in the Intel keeps spitting out the install disk WHY?

That's a failing HD or drive controller on the MacBook. If Disk Utility on the MacBook claims the disk is OK (check the SMART status, if it shows errors it's a failing drive. = Since your much smarter than me, what is this thing called GUID? GUID partition format rather than the normal Apple partition format, Looking at the partition map, it is showing something less than 1 partition, why? Because when Apple went to the Intel platform, they moved to a different partition format for the disk. PPC Macs are partitioned with APM 'Apple Partition Map', intel based systems are partitioned using GUID because that's what used by EFI, which is the Intel Mac equivalent of a BIOS on PC's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table What do you mean 'less than one partition'? When you look at the partition map in Disk Utility do you mean that the white box doesn't fill the whole drive? If so it's entirely likely the Macbook has either a Boot Camp partition, or it's a failing controller or drive. So, in sum you have a Macbook that cannot boot from the optical drive, will not boot in safe mode, and cannot transfer files in FW Target mode? This is likely to be a seriously fubared system. My next step would be to physically remove the drive, and see if it works with one of these http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?InvtId=2020cpc=RESX It will be slow on the Sawtooth, but if you can transfer files, format, repartition, etc, then the issue is the logic board on the MacBook. If, as I hope, you have similar issues (can't copy, DU can't dismount, etc) it's the drive which is by far the cheaper fix. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
