Mac Forum / General / General / March 2006Installing Tiger on mirror door G4.
I am trying to install Tiger on a mirrored doored G4. My porbblem is it freezes while booting. The screen goes to the spinging bar, it does that for a while. Then it freezes. I even left it for an hour to see it did anything, no luck. I tryed doing it with no 3rd party hardware installed. I tryed it by reseting firmware. I tryed it with reseting pram. No luck. I even removed the third part ram and third party hardrives. I even went to the point of geting apple sending me a new DVD of tiger, thinking it was a bad DVD. I had no luck with even that. I have a Doul G4 mirror door. 1.2 gig ram 3 hardrives of defrent sizes. DVD rom- CD-r wright. HELP!!! >I am trying to install Tiger on a mirrored doored G4. My porbblem is it >freezes while booting.

Even if that means just having the 3rd party RAM in the box and taking out the Apple RAM? That might get you on the path to finding the problem. -Stephen  SignatureSpace Age Cybernomad Stephen Adams malchus842SP@AMgmail.com (remove SPAM to reply) > >I am trying to install Tiger on a mirrored doored G4.

I had very similar symptoms when installing/reinstalling Tiger (as well as numerous other problems) that turned out to be a faulty RAM DIMM. When replaced it installed perfectly.

Is it a "full retail" installer purchased in a box from Apple, or is it an installer that came with a different computer? An installer that came with a different computer **will not** work.

It is the full retail box version. I tryed it with just apple ram, then I tryed it with just 3rd party ram. I still have no change. I even tryed it with deffrent harddrives pluged in. The one that game with the mac and then the ones that I got later. Same thing, no change. Could there be something worng on the motherbored? >I tryed it with just apple ram, then I tryed it with just 3rd party >ram. I still have no change.

It could be the motherboard (disk controller, for example), or something else. Did you run any diagnostic tools on the box? You also might try (and maybe you already did) resetting the NVRAM and/or zapping the PRAM. -Stephen SignatureSpace Age Cybernomad Stephen Adams malchus842SP@AMgmail.com (remove SPAM to reply) Yes, I did all the above. Only errors were minor, like crupt files that will apear every so often. I just got a DVD-RW today and installed intrenaly, it works and I tryed booting the install DVD on it with no luck. > Yes, I did all the above. Um, if you don't quote anything, there is no "above." You can't assume that someone reading your post has just read the one you're responding to, so there's no above unless you quote it in your post. God, I wish Google Groups defaulted to automatically quoting!
