10.4: Install Tiger via Target Disk Mode
i had the same problem - i solved a bit differently, as someone suggested in the spymac forum:
Doesn't work with old pmac G4s
I tried to install tiger onto my c. 2000 G4 (AGP) pmac but it didn't work. Doing it your way of booting off the dvd mounted on my mini from the G4 hung during boot, and installing it onto a G4 partition from my mini hung after rebooting subsequent to the install (exactly the same type, i.e. signs, of hang as before). So I have to say that Apple needs to revise their claim of tiger running on *all* G4 AGPs, or at least say in advance for it to run on those machines, it needs blahblahblah, i.e. there's a distinction between saying it can run, and it *does* run.
OK. Life is normal again.
Well, I've cooled off after the episode with the Apple Support Rep. An interesting artifact of that experience is that I temporary lost my maglite and took an hour to find it this morning. I had it in my hand while talking, and sometime while I was getting more and more angry, I put it down (it ended up in a drawer...closed) and consequently became totally lost. At some point I was beginning to believe in those Phillip Pullman cuts in the fabric of reality that I had somehow pushed my maglite. Anyway, back to tiger. |
