I have a Dual Processor 500Mhz G4.
The only disc it will boot off is 9.0.4
I've tried booting off a 9.1 disc, an OSX (10 & 10.2) disc, Norton Utilities 6 disc.
Even if I install 9.0.4 and try and upgrade to 9.1 - the mac crashes when I try to run the upgrade installer.
Basically looks like this machine doesn't like anything above 9.0.4!!
It runs fine under 9.0.4 with Logic 4.8.1, MOTU PCI-324, Adaptec 2940UW, MOTU MTP AV.
I've stripped everything out of the machine, even swapped out the RAM as I heard this might be an issue.
Back to the bare bones of Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse and 1 slot of RAM;
no joy. I've used my OS CDROMs and borrowed discs from friends thinking my disks might be damaged so dodgy CD's are out of the question.

HELP!

Thanks for the reply.
I've stripped everything out of the machine... no joy.
As I said, it behaves itself perfectly under 9.04 but as for upgrading...

Anyone else any ideas?
