Well I took the big plung and tried to install 10.2 on my Umax S900. Things didn't go too well. I partitioned the 18gig HD (9gig for 10, I have 3 other"mini" hd, one running 9.1) put in the 10.2 CD and started XPF. Designated the CD to load 10 into the partition, it restarted and then I got the apple logo. That changed to a black screen with code running. There was alot of it but I noted some and some in particular seemed to repeat. (I'm on another computer now). Here is some of what it was writing:
can't get dependencies for kernal extension "oldworld support. patchedIOSCSICD Drive" load kernel_extension():Can't get dependencdies for kernel extension" old world.support.Patch SCSI Device Type 05" Sam Multimedia: Read or Write failed, ASC=0X04,ASCQ=OXO1 (This it repeated about 10 times) Still waiting for root device (This was repeating every couple of minutes, nothing else was happening) I tried restating the computer, it did the same thing. I restarted it again with the CD removed, it did the same thing. I could not see what else to do so on the next restart I removed the plug. Thats were I'm at at the moment. Haven't tried to replug the computer or start it up again for fear of whatever is going on. Can I get a witness??? Any idea what the problem is and what I should can do about it? Please note I'm not experienced in the inner workings of computers so if any help you might offer please be aware that I could use very simple and very specific directions. Thanks and.... HELP!
