OK. Life is normal again.
Authored by: atallj on May 14, '05 12:07:12PM

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.

The issue with the old G4s is that it will not boot with an adaptec scsi card installed, see:

Seth, the person responsible for the above blog, solved it by removing the adaptec card, however I'm wondering now, since tiger is installed onto a partition of the G4, whether the base system can be modified to allow tiger to finish booting. I know that in order to get my orb drive to work with the older versions (10.2 & 10.3) that I had to remove an adaptec driver (don't immediately know which one it is since my G4 pmac is booted into linux at the moment). I may play around with it when I have some time.
