I know this is a recurring theme here but I am hoping for a flash of
inspiration from someone. Like many on this list I have OS X (10.2.6)
running great, if a little sluggishly, on a S900 with a 350MHz G3 card -
so I know the system is fine with OS X. I have (foolishly?) tried to
upgrade to a Sonnet Crescendo 800MHz G4 in order to get OS X running at
a more usable speed. (Needless to say, Sonnet's tech help was worse than
useless, bordering on insolent!) After months of trying the various
set-ups and voodoo charms suggested on different lists I have got within
a whisker of success. Running the hard drive from the external (slower)
SCSI, performing the Sonnet tune-up v1.2.7 (while in G3 OS X
configuration), using only recently purchased and matched 4X128MB RAM,
and XPost Facto (throttle set at 16) to select the OS X start-up disk, I
can get my S900 to run OS X. I get the standard blue screen, the dock
(even some start-up apps launch) and even the disk images, then it
sometimes fails and requires a restart. Othertimes I can attempt to
launch items and they fail during launch. I can open windows for every
hard drive except the boot volume (which crashes when I try. Getting
this close is agonizing given all the effort that has gone into making
this work. If there are suggestions for a tweak or optimization that
might help, please, please, please.......
