I don't know if my experience is helpful or not but last week I installed Jaguar on my Umax S900. The machine is upgraded with XLR8 G3/266, ATI Radeon 7000, SIIG (Acard) ATA/133 PCI card, Maxtor ATA 30G drive in addition to a 4G SCSI drive which is home to OS 9.1. I have upgraded memory to 784MB (probably more than I need!). I've installed 10.2 on the 30G drive, of course using XPostFacto. I too got the "sleeping" monitor after 'start-up' from the install disc. This happened several times. I tried zapping pram, restarting into 9.1 and re-starting the install process all over again. Nothing seemed to work. Day two: started the install process once again from XPostFacto, named my target drive, install started and the machine went into the same old restart mode with a quiet monitor. At that point I left the room leaving the machine running as is had been. A full ten minutes later, when I returned to my desk, OSX was installing! I don't understand why it took as long as it did to "wake things up" but this was my experience, for what it's worth. I have since been enjoying getting to know this new OS! It is fun!
