OSX Install On PowerBoook G4, help!

[spinnerlys]

Hi spinnerlys, long time no see. Unless I'm missing something this is the OP's PowerBook:
Everymac.com: Apple PowerBook G4 1.33 12" (Al) Specs:

Pre-Installed MacOS: X 10.2.7 Maximum MacOS: X 10.5.8​

Hmm, strange. The 12" (1.33 GHz) model is shown coming with 10.2.7, but the 15" with 1.33GHz, released the same day, came with 10.3.3. As I had both model pages open in separate tabs, I must have confused them. or ?

It seems, EveryMac is confused. (And I'm tired, working since 11AM and it is almost 6AM again.)

Mac OS X 10.2.7 was seven months old, when the OP's PB came out,

Mac OS X 10.3.3 was the current release upon release of the 1.33 GHz PBs,

thus it's time to give EveryMac a heads up of their minor information frell up.

I'm sorry OP, but I really can't help you with your booting problems unless you might have another PPC Mac handy on which you could install Mac OS X 10.3.x and to which you connect the PB via Firewire and start the PB in Target Disk Mode.

10.3

If it's 10.3 it won't install on that MacBook as it need a minimum of 10.3.3.

But it'll boot.

Yep, apparently EveryMac.com is wrong, MacTracker has the correct info though. That's the last time I believe what EveryMac.com says without verifying it. I hate all nighters. Take it easy.

I used MacTracker too, and I even liked their iPhone friendly webpage, which is gone now, as they now have an iPhone app (since some years I guess), but this incident, even though no hydrogen bomb is involved, makes me look at the application for Mac OS X again.

Btw, it's a all lunch, dinner, midnight snack, breakfaster or whatever one could call it. It's not that bad, the work does not involve that much brain anyway (or I have too much , which I seriously doubt).

Okay, signing off now, until the next thread appears. La La la la.

I reported the error to EveryMac.com, wonder if they will change it. Does that mean you're involved in the food service industry? It's midnight here and I'm beat so it's off to bed now...
