    Can't install Tiger on G4 PCI Yikes

    Well, the problem is resolved, but I don't know why. I also posted my problem over on the Apple site, and got some answers, but nothing worked. I finally just decided to install Jaguar on a partition (OS 9.2.2 is on the other side) and see what happened. I've had 10.2 on there before, so I...

    Can't install Tiger on G4 PCI Yikes

    The Yikes model (PCI) doesn't need a firmware update. The DVD-ROM is a stock Apple drive that was originally in the Sawtooth (AGP). Just to check to see if the drive would boot a DVD, I put in my Jaguar DVD (grey system specific 10.2) for my TiBook, and it booted from that DVD right away. My...

It starts up, I put in the Tiger disk and hit the "Restart to install" get the chime when it restarts, I can see it access the DVD drive, but nothing. I even checked again to be...

I restarted from the front of the machine and held down the C key, still no go. I can't get away from the black screen unless I take the DVD out...

    Can't install Tiger on G4 PCI Yikes

    Oh yeah, I am holding down the C key while restarting, didn't want to leave that little fact out. And I have also tried using the Startup Disk control panel to boot from the Tiger disk. I've also used the disk utilities to check the drive, it checks out fine. And rebuilt the desktop, although I...

    Can't install Tiger on G4 PCI Yikes

    Hi! I'm new to the forum, but not new to Macs. I'm having a problem, and I think I could be over looking something simple. I have a Desktop G4 PCI graphics, the "Yikes" model. I have run everything from OS 8.6 through OS 10.2.8 on this machine, separately and on partitions. A few months ago I...
