Grey restart message when upgrading PowerMac G4 10.1.5 to Tiger

I'm trying to do an erase and install on my aunt's PowerMac G4 to upgrade her 10.1.5 OS to her newly purchased Tiger. The install DVD works fine up until the actual progress bar of the installation.
So far it's made it to 2, 4, 6, 9, 10, and 15 percent complete before freezing and displaying a grey message stating to restart the computer.
Also, several times during that restart, the grey restart message comes up again.
I've tried looking in the firmware updates (not sure if that has anything to do with it) but I couldn't track down if her model of G4 needed one since I'm not familiar with the terms of "Quicksilver" and I'm not sure if it has digital audio, etc.
Is this just a case of a bad install disc? Is there something else I should be checking or updating first?
Any info and help is greatly appreciated,

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Here are the two articles on identifing PowerMac G4s:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42739
That should help you determine if you need the firmware update on:

while booted into Mac OS 9.
I would also mention since you are partially completing it sounds like you may not have followed through on the suggested steps of upgrading that my FAQ has:

  • Grey restart screen when empty trash

    I get the grey restart screen when I empty the trash when certain files are in it. If I take the files out, I can empty the rest of the stuff in the trash, but if I put those files back in, I get the grey reset screen again. The files are on an external drive, and I have run both diskwarrior and Techtool on the drive, and they both say that the data is ok. So in short, is there any particular reason that this should be going on, and is there any way to delete those files, other than throwing them away, or wiping the hard drive clean? thanks for the help in advance!

    just to clarify, is this "grey restart screen" a lovely grey overlay on your screen with the message to restart your computer printed in the middle in about 7 different languages? if so, that would be what we call a kernel panic, and it's useful to use that term for discussion purposes.
    aside from clarifying that,... we'll also need more details about the files and external media.
    if you feel up to it, you might try doing an rm in the terminal to see if that'll get rid of the files in question (go to the terminal, and type 'rm ' (don't type the quotes. they're only there to make sure you get the space) and then drag the file to the terminal to append its path to the command, and then hit return)

  • Error Message When Upgrading Firmware for BEFW114S

    To all,
    I have a BEFW114S with a firmware 1.42.7 which I wanted to upgrade to 1.52.02  However, I got the following error message when I tried update the firmware:
    Message:  Warning!  Upgrade File Pattern Error
    Any ideas of what might be causing this.
    Thanks.

    Hi , here is the problem..... The firmware 1.52.02 is for the model no BEFW11S4 V4.0 and i believe you have BEFW11S4 V3.0...
    Download the firmware 1.45.10 for BEFW11S4 V3.0 and you should be able to upgrade the firmware successfully.

  • Error message when upgrading to SCOM 2012R2 CU2

    Hi!
    I get this message when running the SQL script "update_rollup_mom_db.sql" which is required in the CU2 upgrade. I've tried running it multiple times. The message is attached.
    I've also tried stopping all SCOM services on the Management Servers and the Correlation engine, but still the error.
    What does this error mean for my SCOM installation? Is there something that doesn't work now? I try to update agents, but the console doesn't show the new versikon number

    Hi,
    I agree with Mai, this issue is SQL related, and hope the below two similar threads be helpful for you:

  • "iPod Service Failed to Start" message when upgrading iTunes

    When upgrading iTunes from Version 7 to the newest version, I got an error message stating "Service, 'iPod Service' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priviledges to start system services." So I canceled the download and rolled back to Version 7 again. I did notice that now I'm getting an error message when I start up Version 7, stating that it could not start the iPod service. I just bought an ipod Classic and cannot use it without the latest version of iTunes. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
    If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
    For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
    9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
    Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
    After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.

  • Disturbing message when upgrading repository

    I'm doing some testing of an upgrade from DI 11.5 to version 12.1 in preparation for our development environment upgrade. When upgrading a repository from version 11.5 to 12.1 I get the follow message at the end of the upgrade log:
    Adding 12.0.0 functions... (BODI-300001)

    What is the meaning of this message? Does it indicate an error? Should I be concerned?
    Logging into the repository with Designer, everything behaves fine and I am able to run a simple job from the repository.

    Found this message, and this thread when upgrading 11.7.0.1 repositories to 12.2.1.0. Worryingly the above posts refer to DS 12.1 and service packs that you'd have thought would already be in 12.2.1.0!
    I was upgrading about 14 local repositories and 11 central repos and I struggled to find the common error as to why the fabulous "The central repository upgrade was cancelled. (BODI-300022)u201D message appeared. There seemed to be nothing wrong with the repositories and after the upgrade failed DS thought they were 12.2.
    Anyway, to cut a long story short, I solved it thus.
    *Close the SAPBO Data Services Repository Manager after each upgrade. Reopen for the next upgrade and it works.*
    hmmmm.

  • Error message when upgrading to 7.3.2.6

    I just (attempted to) upgrade to 7.3.2.6 (and after the install, it all seems OK for now) - but during the install, I got a "files in use" error message window, mentioning that Windows Explorer was running (Process Id: 432), giving me the option to Retry, Ignore or Exit.
    I tried all options - I even Exited and rebooted - and re-upgraded after that, but keep getting the same error... So far iTunes seems to have upgraded and appears to be working - but could the install have missed some components now - and therefore should I expect trouble ahead?

    Yes, i had the same error message after upgrading to 7.3.
    I am using windows XP - i went to the Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Scrolled to iTunes & clicked on Change (not Remove), then clicked Repair. It all works fine after that.
    Search this forum - i hope you find a solution.

  • My ibook G4 will not get past the restart screen when upgrading to leopard

    I bought the family pack to install on both my personal and professional macs. The install went fine on my mac mini, though it took forever. However, I am trying to upgrade my ibook G4 (which is more then qualified for the upgrade) and every time I restart it by holding down the power button I get the same result. The screen is grey with the Apple logo then it just goes straight to another telling me to restart the computer. The Leopard disk is still in the dvd drive and I can't eject it. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem and either install Leopard or just go back to the way things were with Tiger?

    That's a kernel panic and it looks like you might have a hardware issue. Look [here|http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031210193237190] to eject the stuck cd using open firmware. After insert the cd that came with your ibook and run the extended part of the apple hardware test and see what it says. If not then try running fsck which you will find how to do [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417].

    I have resolved the issue. Here is what I did to resolve the issue.
    Cleaned up the PGP removal by following the steps from Symantecs sitehttp://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH149057
    Removed the OS X Install Data Folder (not sure if that was the exact name) from the root of my HD. I noticed it was sitting there and is not normally there. (I think this was the fix)
    I also redownloaded ML install from app store just in case.
    Ran fresh download and install went according to plan and I am typing this from ML now
    Good Luck anyone else with the same issue.

  • Error message when upgrading to the latest itunes

    i've been attempting to upgrade my old itunes to the latest one, as i have a new ipod which needs the latest progrm to run. it seems to download alright but when i click 'run' at the end of the install it gives the error message -
    invalid drive : F:/
    does anyone have any ideas how to make it download? or if not is there a way to make my new ipod run on my older itunes system, thanks.

    It is possible that the registry setting for one of your special folders is pointing at a drive that is not available.
    Try downloading TweakUI form Microsoft. This lets you set the location of special folders:

  • Error message when upgrading to Tiger

    Hello,
    I have an iMac G5 running 10.3.9 and I'm finally getting around to upgrading it to tiger. I've installed everything in software update, so I should be completely up to date, and I have all the RAM and hard drive space the apple support page says I need. Whenever I restart my computer with the system install CD, however, the error message appears: "ALERT: This software cannot be installed on this computer" and I can't get any further than that. The very latest firmware updates are for computer running system 9, aren't they? I can't think of why I'm getting this error.

    This software cannot be installed on this computer
    Rosasharn, welcome, the computer is questioning the validity of your CD. Is it a full retail version of Tiger? Where did you get the CD? What color is the CD? And what does it say?

    My first inclination is to answer your question --- yes - something is going wrong! I'm sure more specific information will be needed to help you.
    Are you getting a specific message? An error code number? Can you describe exactly what you are doing when you get the message?

  • Error message when upgrading iTunes

    When I get a notice for Software Upgrade for my eMac (10.4.8), it works for everything except iTunes - I get a message "Please quit iTunes before beginning this update" even though iTunes is closed. I have to reboot the computer or this message recurs. Appreciate suggestions.

    Open the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and quit the iTunesHelper process if it's running as well as anything else owned by your account which looks like it relates to iTunes.
