PowerBook G4 12" 1.5ghz not booting

(1/3) > >>

Knezzen:
Hi,

I tried to get my old PowerBook G4 12" 1.5ghz with 1.25gb RAM to boot from the unsupported iMic Mac OS 9.2.2 CD, but it just stalls before showing the happy Mac. Have anyone got the last 12" PowerBook booting?

Latest model that I tried/booted was the PowerBook Alu 17...  but that has the 7455.

Perhaps I was a bit unclear. It can boot from it's own hard drive (with Leopard on it) as well from my Tiger DVD and Leopard DVD, but not from the CD i burned with Mac OS 9.2.2 for unsupported systems. It just stalls at the gray screen before showing the happy Mac when trying to boot from the 9.2.2 CD.

mrhappy:
Maybe try booting it from ext fw drive??
