Those Imacs need a firmware upgrade in order to display Mac Os X, not doing so will probably result in a black screen.

The upgrade should be done from Mac Os 9.1 or above (Not X)

If your Imac is supplied with a Vga output, try to connect the Imac to an external screen.

Those Imacs will only accept X on the very first 8 Go.

Alright. I'll go hunt down the Firmware update on the Apple site.

It has a VGA output, but it doesn't display anything on this Dell LCD monitor :-/ I hope the PAV board isn't shot...
