Can't get this combination working.
Will boot os 9.
Will boot cd/dvd drive tiger disk.
Will boot tiger install disk from firewire.
Will boot in safeboot, BUT no core image or even quartz extreme.
Will not boot leopard install disk from firewire.
Will not boot bootable tiger backup from firewire.
Boot failure gets to the end of the grey screen with the wheel spinning, flashes the blue screen and turns black, or stays blue with or without curser frozen or beachballing ---- never gets to "starting os x" and always frozen from that point on.
This box will boot properly with ATI rage 128, ATI 9000 pro [orig], and nvidia geforce 4 ti, none of which do core image.
Seems that in all cases where it will boot core image is either not possible or not necessary.
I've done all the usual stuff: reset pram, cuda button, open firmware reset, erase and install.
Yes, This card has adc & dvi, both of which I want.
So, does anyone KNOW that this card has worked in at least one quicksilver?
Does anyone know that this card has NOT worked in at least one quicksilver?
Open to any and all sugestions - I just don't have a working mdd g4 and need to know if this very expensive card is NFG or really will not work in a quicksilver.
