Q: PowerBook G3 Lombard 400MHz 128MB RAM freezes during Mac OS X install
With the above setup up, I tried to install Mac OS X 10.2 and 10.3 and during the install, the Mac just freezes.
I've heard problems with this particular Mac and Mac OS X installs.
I've installed Mac OS 9 just fine and it runs great.
I just have 128MB at the bottom RAM slot (I've been told to leave the top slot empty to try to get past this problem, but it still freezes at various points during the install)...
Any other ideas or am I stuck to run with Mac OS 9 only on this Mac? Oh, and it's got the faulty Copper G3 chip.
