Dear List: After several unsuccessful attempts at trying to install OS X (v 10.2) on my Power Mac 7600, I decided to try disabling the L2/L3 cache option and then clicked INSTALL. The installation started, paused a few times and then after much tense waiting the GUI finally appeared and Jaguar was on its way to installing on my 7600.
I checked the installation this morning and I noticed a few odd things. I tried running the Software Updater, but it refused to install the necessary components. A message stated that there was a problem installing the software. I downloaded the 10.2.6 Combo Update, but when I tried to install this software the installer unexpectedly quit. When I tried to launch iTunes, it unexpectedly quit. On the other hand, when I launched Internet Explorer, it successfully launched and allowed me to browse without incident. I have also noticed on several boots that the system hangs at the OS X splash screen or a dark greyish background with a white message window appears asking me to restart the computer. Inside my 7600 I have the following components installed: 1. SIIG Altra ATA controller card. 2. ATI VRRagePro graphics card. 3. 256MB OWC RAM. 4. Sonnet G3 500 upgrade card. There is also my old CD-RW attached (which used to reside inside my G4 466 until I swapped it out for a Pioneer Superdrive) to the ATA controller which I used to install OS X on the 7600 since I was unable to use the stock SCSI CD-ROM in the 7600. Can anyone here offer any insight about what to do at this point?
