Hello,
I'm a bit new here, so if there's already a solution to this problem that I'm not aware of, please let me know!
So, I am a bit of a retro Mac nerd. I own a bunch of G3 and G4 Macs, and I recently picked up my first snow iBook G3. It runs Mac OS 9.2.2 beautifully and installs it without a hitch. However, when I insert a Mac OS X 10.1 installation CD, before it can even boot to the install screen, it kernel panics on the happy Mac logo. So, I tried installing 10.2 Jaguar. This worked, but when I tried to boot into the operating system after installing it, it kernel panicked about 3 seconds after the Apple logo appeared on the screen. When I installed 10.3 Panther, it worked a bit better, but there wasn't even a kernel panic when I tried to boot into the OS after installing; it just froze on the Apple logo and wouldn't do anything for hours.
Is there a firmware update that I'm missing? Should I try installing 10.0 Cheetah?
Thank you!
