From: John McGibney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have an 8500 running panther. I can't cold boot into Panther even when it was last run in X before shutdown and the X volume is selected as the startup volume. On cold starts I get the grey apple screen followed by the grey circle with a line thru it.
It could be that the X drive isn't spinning up fast enough to be ready when the machine is otherwise ready to proceed. Try powering up, waiting a few seconds, and then pressing reset so the boot process starts over. This will give the drive extra time to get ready.

Dan, I don't think that's the problem. Because the exact same drive with the exact same OS-X install worked in my 9500. It was swapped into the 8500 along with the SCSI and other ATA drives, as well as the G3 card. That's why I believe its a problem with the 8500.
John,
If you transplanted the 9500 internals into the 8500 haw can there be a difference? Or did I miss something and you only transplanted the drives, PCI cards, G3 processor etc.
Is there a reason you need the 8500 over the 9500? If not then why not go back to 9500 which, as you said works
