Do I didn't. But I grabbed it and, lo, it works! Thx.

I tried it on my 7100/80. No go, sadly. It has the original ROM and needs the v1.1.1 enabler. The Easter Egg dance produces only the regular System 7.5 breakout egg.

What was your partition layout when you started the OSX install? This failure would be consistent with attempting to installl OSX via XPF on a partition on the IDE drive that's beyond the first 8GB. There's an annoying hardware limitation here. I've successfully installed OSX to IDE within 8GB...

You're correct. Panther (10.3) or Tiger (10.4) are required. And with XPF you can install either on any Beige G3. I have both DT and MT. The DT has a reflashed SIL3112 and SATA SSD.

Try forcing a safe boot (by holding the shift key on boot) to rebuild the kext cache. This will ensure the correct driver is pulled from the card’s ROM and cached.

FWIW, at the end of last year, I upgraded my PM7600 with 4 sticks of this stuff: https://www.ebay.com/itm/155726506302

You know, there’s quite a variety of scotchbrite products, which type are you referring to here?

It should run as configured, but I don't how much testing there was originally on these machines. Note that the original kernel in binary form is here: https://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net/nubus-pmac/test/vmlinux-2.4.27-040811.gz

Cross posting from TinkerDifferent: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/powermac-7100-and-linux.4368/ In particular, I've reconstructed kernel source for the linux-2.4.27 that runs both Yellow Dog 3.0 and Debian 3.0 on Nubus Powermacs.

UTsource has the originals.

That C4/5/8/9 combo reeks all sorts of havoc. I’ve recently restored a Classic II and both serial ports didn’t work due to broken traces and blown vias in this area.

Actually, the Console5 kit doesn't include any ceramics - as the quagmirerepair.com page might imply - they're all aluminum electrolytics of decent quality. [Though I'm certainly not a spokesman for Console5 .. see https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/a-mostly-successful-iisi-restoration.3912/...

Here's one list: https://quagmirerepair.com/replacement-capacitor-kit-for-sony-mp-f75w-11g-3-5-floppy-disk-drive.html?srsltid=AfmBOorrqI87XaeDQRt3tdpqK8dkrb9guE_Gsj2Qkx1zj35oHYFdqgHV I got a fairly economical set from Console5.com.

I ran into this panic trying to run Jaguar on a machine (PM7600) with a Sil3112 SATA-PCI card. I've successfully used a reflashed Sil3112 on various G3s running MacOS9, Tiger, etc. I was disappointed that the PM7600 failed. I can run various flavors of Linux and classic Mac on this hardware but...

I've just restored an IIsi and I've also noticed buzzing as the mouse moves. My ADB is connected through a switch (actually an S-video switch). Observations: When the keyboard/mouse is directly connected, there's no buzzing. There'ss no buzzing on my comparable machines - IIci, SE30, LCIII...
