@daanvdl's BOM has them all as 1N5234B (https://github.com/daanvdl/Macintosh-Analogboard) and all the other info I have agrees with him, fwiw.

These are bang on and wonderful.

Agreed, that looks like a software issue, and the software issue is that your software is knackered

Yes, the problem is that the SCSI driver is not the same software as the IDE driver. I don't know much about the Apple IDE driver but the Apple SCSI driver has never been any good at multiple Mac partitions. So you need to use a third party driver.

Drive Setup will not reliably help you here. Nor will HD SC Setup. Use a third-party formatter and driver. FWB HD Toolkit has been repeatedly suggested upthread as one that works. It's available on the Garden.

OK so you are ID-constrained. Use FWB HD toolkit or something, then.

I think you'll need to use something like Hard Disk Toolkit or Lido or Silverlining or something for SCSI: IIRC Apple's driver doesn't play very nicely with partitions. Either that or just create four smaller images on your SD card, though that will eat 4 SCSI IDs.

I didn't even try Intel, heh. Went straight to 'get the G4 out'. Yes, that would be a good idea. I think the trick for me was 'losing my temper after trying to get darwinbuild working for an hour and deciding there must be a better way of doing this'. Which somehow led me to this document...

Well done! That sounds like a very nice tool indeed.

Yes, I think that's supported out of the box: you don't need a patched kernel for that.

Oh, well, if I'd found that before it would have saved me a certain amount of time and mucking about. Oh well! Never mind. It was educational.

That's good news!

Yeah, it is a shame - it'd be fun to have it use all the CPUs in this thing. The only period thing that does is BeOS.

It's been known for a long time that 10.4 "requires" a G3 or G4 in a rather loose sense; it won't boot on one, but the reason it won't boot on one is because the kernel checks what processor it's on and refuses to play pre-G3. This check can be patched out, and it will boot. Most of the rest...

Both of those are on the same computer? That's rather less than ideal. Ignore me, I can't read. Those patterns are generally 'No code is running, this is the default contents of the video RAM'. Different patterns on different models of computer come from different ways the video RAM is wired...

I don't know, I've only got one PCI machine with it on! But it was totally consistent for me across multiple installations on that hardware. Since the network driver abstraction layer is pretty decent, I'd expect it to be true across multiple hardware platforms.

Indications: Fresh install of Mac OS X Server 1.x ("Rhapsody"). This does not apply to 10.x. When you try to run NetworkManager or HDNamer, they just die and dump you back to Workspace Manager. In the console (from the Workspace manager's Tools menu), you see these are from bus errors. During...
