I have a solo 867Mhz 2001 Quicksilver (2001 with an 867Mhz CPU) with the following specs below:
867Mhz 7450 PPC G4
1.5GB PC-133 RAM (all apple certified, known working in a sawtooth)
40GB IDE HDD
CD-RW/DVD-+RW DL (depending on which one I can get to work)
GeForce4 MX AGP 4x 64MB
This thing has me scratching me head
This is what I have tried:
*Booting from FireWire
*Booting from CD/DVD (Panther, Leopard, Tiger, Jaguar) All retail
*Booting from SATA HDD off of a Sonnet TempoSATA PCI card
Booting from another Internal IDE 80GB HDD with a Tiger/Leopard disc imaged to it (to try to do the install off of it)
It will boot from the 40GB HDD IDE. But will not, for the life of me, boot from any other drive. It will go into FWTDM, but I can't see the Drives. If I hold down "Option" it shows the screen where you select (Blue Background) but the cursor hangs. If I hold down "C" the system sits at a light grey screen (Not OS X Grey, just grey, like slightly darker than O.F. Screen, but lighter than OS X Boot Grey)
I have all the latest updates for the system (firmware for System, SATA card, Video Card, DVD/CD Drives) but it will NOT boot from anything other than the boot drive.
I have tried disconnecting the IDE HDD, but it still won't boot, and in some cases shuts off. RAM is Known working, once i boot from the IDE HDD, it runs perfectly stable. Nary a hiccup.
Can anyone shed some light on this? It's driving me nuts!
I have done the usual (Reset PRAM/NVRAM/CUDA/ Pulled power without battery for 4 days to drain) and nothing works
Show me some love please?
