Is it possible to Install Sorbet Leopard on G4-upgraded G3 B&W
Posted by: CD5150 on 2025-05-21 18:12:46 Trying to install Sorbet Leopard onto a SATA SSD via a flashed PCI SIL3112 Card onto my G4-Upgraded B&W G3 Rev2. Sorbet kernel panics with this log info. What do I have to do to install to install Sorbet or even regular Leopard to run on this now G4 Mac?

Posted by: indibil on 2025-05-21 23:18:39 Do you have at least a 500MHz processor and 512MB of RAM? I think those are the minimum requirements. I was able to install it on a Pismo upgraded to a 500MHz G4, and it worked after updating to the latest firmware.

Posted by: CD5150 on 2025-05-22 01:03:40 G4 @500mHz. Ram maxed out at 1gb. I've ran Sorbet on a Sawtooth G4 @ either 400 or 450mhz. Also have ran it on a Dual 450Mhz Gigabit Ethernet model before.

Posted by: ArmorAlley on 2025-05-25 23:11:04 CD5150» Is it possible to Install Sorbet Leopard on G4-upgraded G3 B&W? I expect it to be very sluggish on a 500MHz G3 with 16MB ATi graphics card, like an SE/30 running Mac OS 8.1. I've ran Sorbet on a Sawtooth G4 @ either 400 or 450mhz. Also have ran it on a Dual 450Mhz Gigabit Ethernet model before. And? Did it run well?

Single CPU (400 or 450) wasn't that great but could've been worse.
