Stupid question possibly and I might have asked already.I got the parts installed
The CPU and board work PERFECTLY. and it looks like it boots from CDs now. I just booted the sucker from a TechTool Pro DVD, and that means it passes the test.
If anyone wants a worn-out G4 QuickSilver 2001 board that they want to play with, it's free + Shipping.
I am wondering why the old board would work fine if booted from PCI SATA, but not from an optical drive :?:
Jumper settings?
My gigabit has major issues with that, I used to be able to just put everything on cable select, but now I have to specify each hard drive/optical drive the jumpers. It's probably a logic board issue seeing as how firewire target disk mode causes it to shut down.
