10.3 on pismo?

[joetronic]

Finaly after installing all versions in order, 10.3 is installing as I type this. Its about time. I still cannot boot from cetain CD's, or a external Firewire drive with a bootable OS on it, but oh well, at least I can use 10.3 for what I need it for.

Thanks for all the help you guys gave me, without it I would still be fighting thst damn thing.

pismo os 10.3.3 problems

i'm having similar problems. i first installed 10.1.4 a few months ago from 9.0, and it wouldn't run until i removed any ATI video extensions from the extensions folder. now it runs flawlessly, but i want to use 10.3.9 for the ipod. i got the full install cds for 10.3.3, and it will not even boot from the install cd. when booting in verbose mode, it says something about "ati driver is too old" or something, and then as soon as it completes loading the crash reporter, it freezes on the grey screen, in the EXACT way that 10.1.4 froze until i killed the extensions. not only that, when i installed 9.1 in order to do the firmware update, 9.1 would crash during startup while loading the ATI extensions. 9.2 as well. moving the extensions made it run perfectly. so it's the video card right?

now, i updated the firmware to 4.1.8 using 9.1 and everything went smoothly. what else do i have to do? is there ATI firmware or drivers that i need to install in order to run 10.3? i haven't found anything on apple or ATI's site except for a driver install that needs 10.2 to run. i feel like i'm reading all these posts that allude to this problem but many more tell of pismos running perfectly in 10.3. what gives?

if you've wiped your drive and don't need the classic mode, just install from the 10.3 or 10.4 disks. i've had no problems with either.
