Ok, First of all I am a pretty savy Mac user but I don't understand this at all and have even had Apple resend me a new copy of panther 10.3.2 on CD, since it wouldn't install.
I have a PowerMac G4 466 Mhz, 36 Gb HD, 640 Mb RAM, Adaptec 2906 SCSI PCI card connected to an Iomega 100 Mb Zip Drive. Currently running Mac OS X 10.2.8 no problems. I purchased the OS X Panther upgrade disc (set of 3) I reboot with the disc find and the install seems to be going fine until about 85% of the way and it fails...."There has been an error during the install please Restart"
The Problem is that is the install writes enough information it shows up as 10.3 but never will boot up, heck never gets to Disc 2, that I have to revert back to OS X 10.2 and upgrade to 10.2.8 and reinstall some apps.
Apple sent me a new disc even and this still doesn't fix the problem. The Apple Tech I sopke with told me that the SCSI card would be fine, and that my 466 Mhz G4 meets the panther requirements.
What else could be the problem? I have close to 15 Gb free!
Please help!
