Like to announce success in the installation of Jaguar on my S900. After two days of scratching my head why I could not get beyond the XPostFacto restart, I discovered that you have to pay very close attention to every detail in your preparation.
The first problem was that I formatted my new Seagate Barracuda 80 GB drive with OS X utilities instead of the 9.1 Drive setup. After I went back over each step and removed the only new card that I had installed (a USB 2.0 2 port from Comp USA) and cranked my processor down from 500 Mhz to 450 Mhz. Formatted the drive with the Drive setup from another drive running on 9.2.2. Then while booted on that drive I inserted the install CD and clicked on XPostFacto 3.0a4 and set everything up but left the throttle set at 0. Clicked install and watched it do its thing and then restart (holding my breath) and then give me a chime and then the verbose startup screen and finally the Mac OS X installer panel. Have now cracked open a bottle of beer to celebrate as it continues the installation which has finished and now I am doing updates and setting up my preferences. Cracked open another beer. It is quite apparent that an all ATA Umax S900 runs very nicely on Jaguar. I only hope that Rayans has good luck in getting XPostFacto up to a Panther install sometime in the next month as I have seen it in action and would like to take this machine up to it. My PCI cards are Slot #1 USB 2.0 2 port Comp USA card Slot #2 IMS Twin Turbo 128M Slot #3 Sonnet ATA 100 ( Ultra Tek) Polaroid BurnMax48 CDRW, Apple 24x CD-ROM Slot #4 Acard 6260M ATA66 1 WD 80 GB HD, 1 Seagate Barrcuda 80 GB HD XLR8 G3 400 Mhz 1 MB Backside (over clocked speed 500 Mhz) 400 MB ram I will keep my S900 #2 machine running on 9.2.2 for the time being as it needs more ram and a faster CPU.
