No. But on a 7,3 you'll be using APM anyway as it can't boot from GUID.Though, that does make me wonder if 10.2 even supported GUID partitioning,

Well yeah, I'm more worried Jag won't be able to see the disk. GUID was needed for the size, and as far as I know, made it useless to boot off of even for Leopard on PPC. I don't know when they actually added support. It's not a boot disk in the system for me, it's actually the drive I do all my file serving on my network from. So maybe this system isn't the most friendly to testing like this.No. But on a 7,3 you'll be using APM anyway as it can't boot from GUID.
I was looking for one but couldn’t find one🤦

It's probably safer to not have Jag touch the disk/its contents because it's larger than 2TB, and run it off the CF card instead. Late 2005 G5s can actually boot from GUID.Well yeah, I'm more worried Jag won't be able to see the disk.

There's a reason I boot off a 500gb drive on this system, but this fact is a bit trickier, since the 7,3 is either a mid 2004 or early 2005. Not to mention, there's conflicting info about this stuff all over the place. I did have to go into Leopard just to format the drive, in the first place, Tiger was very confused by it.It's probably safer to not have Jag touch the disk/its contents because it's larger than 2TB, and run it off the CF card instead.

The G5 10.2.7 install disk does boot enough to tell me my 7,3 isn't supported, in a very vague way of course. But, all the way to the installer, and everything. And if it boots enough to tell me off through an installer, than who knows?
I'm going to have to put some time into this, it sounds worth doing. For all I know, I could be opening a whole new world of PMG5 support. Or a nightmare for anyone who follows in my footsteps.
God though, a PMG5 Hackintosh. I love it.

What exactly is going wrong with them?10.0 and 10.1 keep failing installs so I gotta figure that out, but the other two work perfectly.
No idea to be honest - but you could use a model-specific Jaguar iso instead (which is a single DVD) and modify the installer to allow installing on any machine. Since you can find machine-specific 10.2.7 isos that would also give you a much newer baseline OS to start with. The same goes for Panther.
What do you mean - a retail 10.2 disc set? The Garden has it.I'm glad this worked for @Project Alice but it's pretty darn sad that we don't have a legitimate retail image archived anywhere...
Oh, I guess I misunderstood what the problem was then. I thought Project Alice couldn't find it. Sorry!What do you mean - a retail 10.2 disc set? The Garden has it.
They both got about 5 minutes in and failed with an error that said something along the lines of “couldn’t unarchive packages”. I’m was going to try again with the newer 10.0.3 and 10.1.3 CDs.What exactly is going wrong with them?
For 10.0, you could try this disc - it's a newer build than the downloadable 10.0.4 updater:
WinWorld: Apple Mac OS X 10.0.4 (''Cheetah'' 10.0.4.4S10) [PowerMac G4 1.1]
WinWorld is an online museum dedicated to providing free and open access to one of the largest archives of abandonware software and information on the web.winworldpc.com
For 10.1, I can hook you up with the 10.1.5 disc for the original 17" iMac which is also a newer build than the downloadable updater. Or just use Puma Server for the Xserve, which is the newest 10.1.5 build out there afaik.
I couldn’t find a single DVD Panther image. The retail discs are everywhere. I did find the 10.3.7 image mentioned though. I probably won’t be able to use it for this because it’s almost 8GB and I only made a 5GB partition for the installer.Oh, I guess I misunderstood what the problem was then. I thought Project Alice couldn't find it. Sorry!
What does the log say?They both got about 5 minutes in and failed with an error that said something along the lines of “couldn’t unarchive packages”.
Any news on that front?We have ourselves a PowerPC G5 (3.0) which means this is going to be quite the experiment. If it works, I'll be opening a door, otherwise, I'll be sure it was never open at all. Either way, I'll finally have an answer to a particular question I had, ever since I ran into that unsupported system message in the 10.2 installer.
Is it possible that the kernel on the 10.2.7 g5 install dvd doesn't have this check for some reason?although its interesting that you say it will boot in my testing 10.2.7/10.2.8 G5 wont boot on a 970FX CPU as it was first kernel versions to introduce the "halt on unknown cpu" check
That is just plain wrong. And you've asked this same question multiple times already and received answers.Can someone explain to me why bother with 10.2 if nothing really can run on it ?
