I have had everything from Kernel Panics to perfectly viable install volumes just brain-farting when I tried to install. You need to make sure that the only drive with termination enabled is physically at the outer (i.e. furthest from the logic board) end of the cable. Furthermore if you have a later model 50-pin drive you need to make sure that it know where to draw terminating power. Also try attaching the CD-ROM drive to the other SCSI bus (this involves routing another SCSI cable up and around the PSU box but it solved a lot of problems for me), which should be on a 50-pin male header next to the one you are using for the hard disks/CD at the moment. -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Mac LC Central -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
