Hi everyone, so from my prior thread i was trying to do dual booting Leopard / OS9.. now this had to do with SSD bridges and all that but then i went original and was trying to get dual boot to work with a 20gb spinner. The drive is fine. Perfectly healthy and came from a working sawtooth machine running Tiger.
However this same Quicksilver has been running fine with OS9 for a long time. It was running on an SSD with it partitioned into two parts.. the 2nd part being reserved for "media"
So as it stands, I can get any number of OSX versions to boot.. cheetah, jaguar, tiger, leopard to boot.. they can run disk utility and format drives, etc.. the installation begins and it's during the part where you've done all of the options to start the installation is when this screen comes up after a few minutes of file copying:
if image trouble, its simple black screen with white dos text saying:
the installer has quiet do to an unexpected error. (exit code 0) please restart your computer
in some cases i've gotten the gray power button of death display with certain attempts.
It just seems that this quicksilver has a pretty much irrational dislike of OSX.. note this machine used to have OSX Tiger when I got it.. barn spoiled running OS9 for the last year or so?
NOTE: I have also tried even installing OS9/tiger on my sawtooth and move that hard drive over to upgrade to Leopard. NOTE: the QS did run the Sawtooth install of OSX and OS9
"why are you trying to get leopard then Caleb?" well I need Leopard for the M-Audio Profire 2626 which only has drivers that go as far back as leopard.
Thanks!
Caleb
