According to Hoyle, an IDE class bus should be connected directly to the main memory bus, and not through another peripheral bus. The IDE PCI cards get around this by emulating a SCSI bus. > I reformatted the drive with disk utility and then > carbon-copy-cloned my OS-X over to it.

The key issue is that the boot process needs to begin in Mac OS 9 and then continue from the OS X volume; all elements of the boot process need to be compatible with both operating systems. This can be accomplished with Apple's Drive Setup utility that comes with OS 9.1 or later, or with the Disk Utility that comes with Jaguar and later so long as drivers that are compatible with both systems are installed. Until a bootable setup has been achieved in OS X, it's obviously only practical from OS 9. > can anyone help with an idea of what happened? With this machine, the boot process needs to begin in Mac OS 9 with a blessed "System Folder". Once the BootX process is loaded, the OS X "System" folder [note the difference] can be selected and booted. Selecting an OS X "System" folder on this machine from the "Startup Disk" control panel will only confuse the PRAM, since it is not possible to boot directly into OS X. Check for the following: � All drivers are compatible. � PRAM, NVRAM, and CUDA states are clear of corruption. � Each "System Folder" and "System" is properly blessed. HTH, paul -- Paul F.
