Take a look at the attached file... that happens when attempting to startup from a Panther CD from a retail box. Here's exactly what happens:
Insert the Mac OS X install disk 1
Go to Startup Disk and select it... Restart
Machine restarts, playing familiar startup chime
Wait a few seconds, computer recognizes CD as startup disk
Dark gray Apple logo appears on light gray background
7 or 8 seconds later, the logo shifts to the right and down a pixel or so (see attached image)
15 or 20 seconds later, the iMac's fans kick into high gear and sits there doing nothing (I let it sit in that state for about 20 minutes, nothing changed)
An earlier problem involving what I believe to be a fried ethernet port is why I'm trying to do all this. I'm thinking my 1.6 GHz 17" iMac G5 has hardware problems. Anyone have anything similar happening to their iMac?
