Tiger partition install problem.

I have formatted a Lacie 500 GB USB external drive connected to the G5 PPC in order to install Tiger on a single partition of the drive. I want to use it as a startup drive. The Tiger Install disk is in the disc drive. When I restart to begin the install, a kernal panic occurs. I never get past it in order to select the drive to install. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

All ram came with box directly from Apple. Apple Profile says the following:

Tiger/Panther install problems - won't boot from Tiger DVD or Panther CD

My Mum has an iMac G3 CRT, running at 500MHz, with 1GB RAM, a 20GB HD, & a slot-loading internal CD-RW.
The iMac in question is the model described here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac500indigo.html
She only uses the machine for email & web browsing, but because it runs OS 9, it won't run a modern web browser (it's stuck on Internet Explorer 5.1.7) so lots of websites don't load properly or work at all. This is fair enough as IE for the Mac hasn't been updated since 2001.
My idea was to upgrade the machine from OS 9.2.2 to (ideally) 10.4.11, or failing that, 10.3.9, which would then let her use the current version of Safari, or possibly even Firefox. (Any thoughts on which would be easier for a currently IE-using technically-challenged pensioner would be welcome, although I prefer Safari myself, despite its shortcomings).
The iMac only had it's original 128MB of RAM until recently, but I persuaded her that it would be a good idea to spend 70-odd Pounds on 1GB of RAM so that OS X could not only be installed (which would let a modern browser be used) but would run at a useable speed. The minimum requirement for Panther is 128MB of RAM, but I suspected that it would run like treacle on a 128MB G3, and I was hoping to go for Tiger anyway, which requires 256MB.
As Tiger comes on a DVD (I have the retail/generic version) and the iMac has no DVD drive, I borrowed a friends external LaCie FireWire DVD-RW drive (the Porsche styled one). The DVD mounted first time, and the Startup Disk control panel let me select it.
When I restarted, I got the initial OS X pale grey screen with the dark grey Apple logo in the centre, with the spinning circle thing below, but after a minute or so, I could hear the DVD stop spinning in the drive, and a few seconds later the dark grey Apple logo changed into a dark grey "circle with a line through it" logo, with the normal circle thing still spinning below. This is how things stayed for many minutes, so I just restarted with the external drive off, and eventually got back to a normal 9.2.2 boot-up.
Next I tried running the "Mac OS X Install" application on the Tiger DVD from within 9.2.2. This started and came up with a big Tiger logo screen with a button labelled "Restart". Clicking it brought up an OS 9 error dialogue though, which said something along the lines of "the Tiger DVD cannot be selected as the startup disk" with a number 2 in brackets at the end of the error message - like this: (2)
This error occurs both if I select the Tiger DVD in the Startup Disk control panel prior to running the "Mac OS X Install" application, or if I select the internal hard disk. I know the DVD isn't faulty, as I used it to successfully boot my own Mac (a Power Mac G4 Mirror Drive Doors) just the other day, in order to repair permissions on the startup disk.
At this point I gave up on Tiger and tried to use the first of 3 Panther CDs that I have. These 3 CDs are burnt copies that came with my own Mac and contain version 10.3.2.
The CD refused to be selectable in the Startup Disk control panel. It's icon was greyed out, and so I couldn't boot from it. I tried running the "Install Mac OS X" application on the CD from within OS 9, but got the same error with the 2 in brackets when I clicked the "Restart" button, just like with the Tiger DVD.
Initially, I suspected that these Panther discs might be machine-specific, rather than the retail/generic version, because of the first CD being greyed-out in the Startup Disk control panel, but then the error dialogue that matched the one I got when I tried the Tiger DVD makes me think that my Panther CDs might be generic after all. Examining the first CD on my own Mac, it appears to be generic, but I'm not 100% sure, as the CDs are copies and as such don't have the usual identifying information on the labels. There are no machine-specific files that I can find on the first CD, which is dated January 9th 2004.
Various websites mention that when Tiger was current, Apple would swap a retail copy of the DVD for a set of CDs. I've looked on eBay but not been able to find any. This doesn't surprise me though, as there will be very few copies of Tiger on CD out there, and even fewer copies that people would want to sell.
There are a few retail copies of Panther available on CD, but if my current burnt copies of these discs are in fact generic, then buying a new set would make no difference. Besides, I'd prefer to use Tiger.
The Tiger minimum requirements (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514) say:
"To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs: DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation"
What it doesn't say though, is whether the DVD drive has to be an internal one with Apple firmware/modifications, or whether an external 3rd party one will do. However, I know from various websites that it's possible to load Tiger onto this sort of Mac, and sometimes even older non-FireWire Macs, despite what the minimum system requirements say.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be much obliged!
Thanks.

The problem is now solved, but I'm not sure how I managed it, unfortunately.
Having read the article at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75430, I checked both my Tiger DVD and my first Panther CD, and neither had the firmware updater on them, despite what the article said, so I downloaded it. However I was sure I'd applied a firmware update to the iMac a long time ago, and the 4.1.9 version number seemed familiar.
When I checked, I had in fact already applied the firmware update a few years ago!
I tried running the "Mac OS X Install" application on the Tiger DVD from within 9.2.2 again, and got the same error message as before. I was wrong about the error code though. It was minus 2 in brackets, not 2 in brackets.
The full text of the error message is:
An error occurred.
"Startup Disk was unable to select the
install CD as the startup disk. (-2)"
I tried selecting the DVD manually in the Startup Disk control panel (as before) and running the application again gave the same error message (also as before).
I then went into Extensions Manager to see if there was anything there that might be interfering with things. The only thing that caught my eye was the LaCie SilverLining control panel (which I think was version 6.4.5a). This was something that originally came on a floppy disk accompanying an external hard drive that I used to use years ago at a place I worked, and I used to find it invaluable back in the OS 9 G1 Power Mac magneto-optical external drive days!
I couldn't remember what it was doing on the iMac, but I switched it off, and then clicked "Restart", hoping that when I rebooted (in OS 9) the error message wouldn't come up when I ran the "Mac OS X Install" application.
However, I'd forgotten that I'd switched the Startup Disk control panel to the DVD, so when the iMac restarted, the initial OS X dark grey Apple logo screen appeared, and I expected the dark grey "circle with a line through it" logo to appear shortly afterwards, but it didn't! The iMac booted up from the DVD, which then let me install Tiger! I was then able to apply the 10.4.11 update, plus all the others that Software Update provided. About half a dozen restarts and several hours later, the iMac is now fully updated & configured, favourites are copied over to Safari 3.1.2, and all I have to do is teach my Mum how to use the OS X Finder, Mail & Safari, as opposed to the OS 9 Finder, Outlook Express & Internet Explorer...
Switching off the SilverLining control panel seemed to do the trick, but since the iMac then rebooted from the DVD, not the internal hard disk, I don't see how it could have possibly had any bearing on things! Very weird!
Anyway, thanks to Allan Jones & spudnuty for their advice. All's well that ends well!

Macbook: OSX tiger re-install problems

Just got my replacement OSX install DVD's today and am having some issues installing the OS. Basically what happened was I blew away my HD and then was un-pleasantly surprised to find out the burnt back ups of the org. install disks that I had lost in a move wouldnt work, which resulted in a macbook that when booted simply displayed a folder icon w/ a question mark.
So now that I have My replacements, I have been trying to install but when I get to where you select which volume to install on, I am not able to select the HD. I see it, but Im not able to install on it. I have tried holding down the "C" key when starting up and also the "option" key. Both methods have the same result.
Anyone got any ideas? Any helps is most appreciated.
Regards,
John

hi John,
Did you try with your new install DVD's Disk Utility
(Utilities Menu as soon as you get it during first install steps),
to run a Disk Repair?
Check also what Partition Scheme it has. It's GUID Partition Table for Intel Macs. In case your's formatted for PPC Macs,
reformat your new drive then (still Mac OS Extended Journaled though).

Solaris 8 Install Problem - Partition(s)

First, I am a relative "newbie" when it comes to SUN Solaris and System Adminstration, though I know enough UNIX to be dangerous (read "get me into trouble" - hahaha).
I tried to do an "upgrade" to the O/S (2.7) on my Ultra 5, but when doing an "initial install", the system will only allow me to set the partitions/slices manually at the cylinder level. Any attempts to do so have failed, as I keep getting an "overlapping cylinder" error message, regardless of how I try to setup root, /usr, etc. The Solaris 8 O/S setup swap as follows:
Starting - 3275 Size - 1110
FYI, I was trying to do the install using the Solaris 8 CDROM, Solaris build date 2/02.
Overall, I appear to be having a lot of issues with the Seagate Medalist ST34321A (4.1 Gbyte) drive that came with my Sun Ultra 5. The drive appears to work correctly, but an attempts to "wipe out" the drive (reformat) have not met with success.
Any suggestions anyone can provide regarding the install problem would be appreciated.

If you are trying to Upgrade to Sol 8 it is strongly suggested that you do not use the Installation CD. Use CD 1 of 2 with a boot cdrom. You will have to answer the sysid questions and then should get prompted for Initial Install or Upgrade. If you do not get the Upgrade prompt then there is a problem with your original Sol 7 system. Things like nfs mounts in vfstab, links to /var/sadm/patch, pkg or install/contents.
An Upgrade should not be asking you to lay out filesystems. It should use your existing ones.

Installing a Tiger partition?

I have some hardware that's no longer supported. A scanner, to be exact.
And I'm wondering if a) it's possible to carve out a small Tiger partition, and b) if firmware will be an issue.
Thanks in advance!

The last OS which supported Rosetta was 10.6, Snow Leopard. You can create a Snow Leopard partition (I have one) or you can run Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine.
Parallels
VirtualBox
VM Fusion
Snow Leopard server for use with the above. Call 1-800-692-7753 and order part number MC588Z/A. Cost is $19.99 + sales tax and shipping.

OS 9 Install problem on imac G3

hello all,
i have an OS install problem on my imac . I just finished formatting the drive . the drive is
paritioned :
1st partition = HD1: 5.5 Gb
2nd partition = HD2 : 2.5 Gb
3rd partition = HD3 : 110+ Gb
Then, in order to save some time ( i thought ) , i tried directly install os 9 from an imac
DV CD , on HD1 : i thought i d be quicker so i would have to start with os 8.5 then upgrade to 8.6 and etc .
that turned out to be a bad idea. the system install warned me it couldnt install Air port because the hardware wasnt compatible . it gave me two options : either ignore this message or quit . i chose ignore : again certainly a bad choice .
After the install was finished , the mac wouldnt start on HD1 . the sytem install is apparently incomplete ,or anycase it doesnt work .
i then installed os 8.5 from original imac tray load install CD on HD2 , and it works fine .
now the question is : what should i do with my bad os9 system ? i need an operating system on this partition. perhaps i can trash it and reinstall mac os8.5 on it ? i hope there is a way to get out of this without formatting the drive again .
thanks for any advice .

about the os9 CD : it is a retail verson , only not of the same imac model .
That is not a retail version of OS 9. A retail version of OS 9 has no dependencies on any model of Mac. You have a machine specific disc which probably won't work with your iMac.
1/ i dont know how to reformat a partition without formatting the entire drive . perhaps you can explain .
In OS X you use Disk Utility and only select the partition that you want to reformat. It has been ages since I used OS 8 so I'm not sure if it is even possible using "Drive Setup".

Is OS X 10.4 Tiger Full install CD Mac New X code the right thing for me?

Please Help - I have been having problems on some websites and with Safari - I can't afford to buy a new or even a 'new' used Mac with Intel - I have been thinking that upgrading to Tiger will solve my problems, I have committed to buy (on Ebay) but not yet paid for OS X 10.4 and am now worried that I am buying the wrong thing.
The description of what I am buying is Apple eMac OSX 10.4 Tiger Full install CD Mac New XCODE
Rare genuine factory Mac operating system, full installation CD set for Apple OS 10.4 Tiger. Normally Tiger OS 10.4 comes in single DVD format which most older eMacs don't have, so this OSX 10.4 is a rare item in CD format. 16 install CD's plus an XCODE Development tools version 2 on 17 discs.
My eMac specifications are:
Machine Model: eMac
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.25 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.8.2f1
Can anyone please help a damsel (albeit not a very young one) in distress?

No, its only 10 pm at the moment.
OK, that's good news as it is the latter type eMac, though not identical to the latest, it falls into the 'second half' of the eMac series.
The only difference I can see is that your model has a slightly slower graphics card but is the same model card. It seems only a subtle difference.
I believe there is a high probability that those disks would work.
Given they are considerably cheaper £27 or less it is probably worth risking. I'll guess 85% + chance of success.
The retail Tiger disks are just black, but they are quite rare, and overpriced.
Here is a comparison at
http://fastmac.com/osx.php
where they want over £50 (US79.95) so the ebay thing looks good.
You could change web browsers to Opera or Camino but Java versions end at 1.4 in Panther.
10.3 is pretty ancient in internet years, so an OS upgrade will at least keep you with a useful tool, even if not at the cutting edge.
10.20pm see you tomorrow.

Installing problem - kernal panic??

My apologies if this is posted in the wrong area, but I am in dire need of much expertise!
I'm trying to install Mac OS X Tiger on my three year old iBook, and as far as I can tell, it fits the specs perfectly - currently, I'm running on 10.3.9, with a G3 800 MHz processor and 640 mb RAM.
However, when I follow the instructions with the 10.4 disks, just after the installation mode gets to Restart, the system freezes, going to a black screen with the "Please Restart" image on, and the text describing a "Darwin Kernal Version 8.6.2" error. The last line is "panic: we are hanging here."
All I can do is manually restart the computer and eject the disk. I'm really confused - I've never come across this error before, and the only conclusion I can come to is that it is a kernel panic.
Anyone else come across this problem? What can I do to get Tiger to install? (I'm dying to play with the Dashboard widgets!) Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
There is a program called XPostFacto that will enable machines that are not supported to run OS 10.4.
So, if it turns out to be an issue of non-support, you might check that out.
There are various links on the page at:
http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/
That will lead you to a variety of sources of help on this particular program / subject.
But, your system should meet the requirements. But, even within the requirements, there are older systems (specific models) that will not run the newer OS. But, your system should run it just fine.
Mac OS X Version 10.4 requires a Macintosh with:
PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
Built-in FireWire
At least 256MB of physical RAM
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 3.0 GB of available space on your hard drive; 4GB of disk space if you install XCode 2 developer tools
And, I just checked the document at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
And, it doesn't appear as though there are any Firmware updates that should be required for your system.
So, I cannot really think of a good reason for it to have failed.
But, here are a couple of things for you to verify:
1) if you are installing this over an existing OS 10.3.9 installation, do you have at least 4 GB of hard drive space available? It's best to have at least 10, but the retail box says 4 minimum.
2) have you tried resetting the PRAM? This might clear out a weird bug in the system. Restart the computer, and hold down the following keys simultaneously until you hear the chime for the 3rd or 4th time: Option, Command (the Apple), P, and R.
3) Are you trying to install from a Retail Package version of OS X 10.4? You will not be able to install OS 10.4 from an OEM or Upgrade CD set. The OEM CD will say usually have a type of computer (such as iMac, iBook, etc.) printed on it, and will usually be grey in color. The Upgrade CD will say something like it is part of a hardware package and not to be sold separately, and will be black in color.
Neither the Upgrade or the OEM CD or DVD will work for a fresh install of the OS on your computer.
Even if the OEM disk says iBook on it, it still will not work. The OEM disks are keyed to a particular computer model and specific revision of that model. They are not legal for resale, and will not work on other machines.
So, if you are not using the retail boxed version of OS 10.4, then that is likely where your problem is.
4) It's possible that there is some defect in your computer. Have you tried running the hardware test that is on your original installation disks to check the computer for defects?
On some Apple Computers, the hardware test is on either the 1st or 2nd software restore CD / DVD. On other computers, it may be a 3rd disk that was included with the computer. If it's on a 3rd disk, then you would start-up the computer and hold down the letter "C" to boot from the CD-ROM.
See if the computer passes it's hardware test. Be sure to run the most thorough test it has, and also the lighter test. Specifically, test the memory very thoroughly. Some defective memory modules will work until they are used a certain way, and then fail.
5) If it does pass the hardware test, and you are using a retail copy of the OS 10.4 package, then I would try removing the memory you added to the computer. This would be any memory over 256 MB that you installed.
Since OS 10.4 says it needs 256 MB, then you should try to leave that amount in there. But, if you only have one module in there that you added later, then try it with the added module removed.
It's possible that your added memory is out of spec / not fully compatible, or defective.
6) If all that fails, then I would see if you may have a bad installation disk. It's possible that a scratch in the wrong place could be the cause of an installation problem. You might even check for this before you get going again.
That's about all I can think of at the moment. Let us know what you find.

Win8 Enterprise Install Problems

Hi,
i need to install Win8 Enterprise on my MBPr late 2013.
I read that Bootcamp doesnt support the Enterprise, so i created a bootable USB key via the Windows USB tool.
So i used the Bootcamp Assistant to create a partition and another usb key with the support files. Then i booted to the Win8 USB and the Installation started. However it failed, because the BOOTCAMP partition was not of the GPT style.
So i read about it and treid this: i went to Mac OS and disk utility. Then i removed the partition and created a new exFAT BOOTCAMP partition. -> Restart and install Win8 -> format BOOTCAMP partition -> next problem: This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk, ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in computer's Bios menu

Guys, i really need some help here. Somebody must have some experience with Bootcamp.
Is it possible to use a USB boot key that has been created by the Windows tool?

Can I use the Leopard Disk Utility to repair a Tiger partition?

I have a multi-partition external disk, one partition has Tiger installed on it, while others have Leopard. (I used Leopard to partition the drive and then used SuperDuper! to copy my earlier Tiger backup from another disk to this disk.) Now I find I have errors on the partition with Tiger. Can I use the Disk Utility tool from my Leopard install to repair the Tiger partition? Earlier today I tried to boot from my Tiger install DVD and use the Disk Utility there to repair the partition, but it just hangs up and won't go forward.
thanks,
Chris Altwegg

You could use it, but if Tiger's Disk Utility couldn't fix it, it's doubtful Leopard's would fix it as well. You're better off using Disk Warrior from Alsoft.com.

Can't start from Tiger OS install DVD

I just purchased a used Powerbook 15.1 inch 1.67Ghz, and need to erase the hard disk and re-install the OS (Tiger, 10.4). The computer has a SuperDrive, and it will read the Install DVD just fine, but it won't start-up from the DVD.
I've tried picking the DVD from the "Startup Disk" selector in System Preferences. I've also tried re-starting while holding the "C" key with the dvd loaded. Each time under both scenarios, after a minute or so of dvd spinning, I get the gray screen with the white apple, and the loading indicator (the rotating notches), then I end up with a blue-screen and a frozen cursor in the upper left.
The computer came with the previous user's software loaded, which I am trying to ditch so that I can load my own (read "legal") software. Also, and more importantly, I never received the existing password from the previous user, so I don't have access to the administrative functions (hence, no ability to update the OS, or any other administrative jobs). Wiping the hard-drive and reinstalling the OS seems like the best (and only) option; I've done it before for other computers and never had this problem, which has me quite stumped.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, BGreg. That will help me to work-around the problem.
I wonder; does the inability of the computer to start-up from the Tiger OS Install DVD indicate a bad DVD or a bad SuperDrive? The dvd worked fine as a start-up disk on my other computers, which argues against the former, while the superdrive can read and burn DVDs just fine when the OS is already running on the hard drive, which argues against the latter.

Nano install problems. Works on USB 1.1!

Twelve months ago I went through the getting an IPOD to install properly problems with my son's IPOD, on his all singing all dancing new PC. Only finally resolved this by installing via the firewire port rather than USB. Therefore it was with some trepidation that I recently got a Nano for my wife's birthday, but hey I thought someone like Apple would have got their act together in the interim and installing should be straight forward. Have they? NO! Tried installing the Nano on my aging Pentium III which has a USB 2.0 PCI card, and for which all other devices plugged into it worked OK. Couldn't even get Windows to properly recognise it "A problem occurred during harware install your device may not be working properly". Tried Apple's suggestions and other users suggestions all to no avail. Firewire install option is not a possibility with Nano, but finally thought why not try one of the USB 1.1 ports on my aging computer, and guess what it installed first time and works without any problems. Transfer rate is not to bad either 850 songs in 1hr 10min. The only slightly different thing I did (which some other users also say) is not to re-boot the computer at the end of installation when it prompts you to and start using Itunes straight away and do some downloading then re-boot later.
Not much comfort to users with newer PC's but if you have an older computer with a USB 1.1 port and have install problems, try it as it may work for you as well.
Like every one else with install problems on PC's I say "come on Apple" individually or together with Microsoft please get this sorted out. My view of Apple was that they have great products (still true) that are easy to use (still true) and install without problems (patently not true).
Pentium III 800 Windows XP

Gosh, I have tried this many times. Over several days. I have also reset the shuffle, which as far as I can tell, consists of turning it on and then off.
Last night, it started updating the music via the keyboard USB 1.1, which I know takes forever. Then it lost communications and quit.

Logic Studio Install Problems

Purchased Logic Studio a couple weeks ago. The first set I recieved would not install correctly and it errored out several times regardless of how I went about installing it. Contacted Apple Support and they indicated I may have a bad set of disks so I returned my set and recieved a new set yesterday. Install problems continue but now different. Orginal set woudl load a coiuple of disks then error out. This set will laod the install disk then when asked to insert the Audio Content 1 disk the computer will spin th edisk around a few times the spit it out. Tried several times and even tried inserting other content disks. I've read some of the conent here and some mention a possibel bad DVD Drive but I do no think my DVD Drive is the problem since after trying the Logic Studio set I successfully installed FrameForge.
When I attempted to install the first set of disks last week I was able to select all the options, SoundTrack Pro, Mainstage, etc. On this set my SoundTrack Pro option is grayed out and I cannot select it to load. I read here last week, when the first set would not load, to remove everything associated with Logic Studio and try again, which I did. Is it possible there are remneants remaining somewhere on my system that is disallowing the SoundTrack install this time?
My system config is:
Processor: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048MB
Software: Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
1TB Internal SATA Disk (This is the drive I am attempting to load on)
256GB Flash Storage
12TB (RAID 5 Configure to 6TB) Pegasus External
This evening I will call Apple Support again, but any advice from the audience is much appreciated.

Solaris 10 install problem (requested image to big to fit into memory)

I have just downloaded the iso images and burned to disk. When I go to install I get the message (Requested image to big to fit into memory Error 28) I have 1.5GB so I don't understand the problem. Thanks in advance
It took a long time for me to figure out, but the answer is disable in BIOS memory hole at 15M to 16M. This solved the install problem with Open Solaris and quite a few more such as not being able to install Linux Zenwalk 5.0 or openSUSE 10.3. Their are others also problems I have had with Linux or UNIX that this took care of. JGZ

Hi,
I had been able to solve the Error 28 issue that in my case was really related to a corrupted boot image:
1. I went in the path /a/platform/i86pc
2. rm boot_archive.
3. sync
4. reboot
At this point the OS will notice the absence of the boot_image and it will regenerate it.
At the time of this operation the CD with solaris 10 was inserted in the CDROM.
When the system restarted it was able to load the OS properly.
Please use these information at your own risk. I do not accept any liablity.
Cheers
