While my G5 quad is down for a LCS rebuild, I am trying to see if my copy of 10.6 (PPC build) will boot on my dual 2.0. Unfortunately I am running into issues.
When I tried booting off of the SSD from my G5 quad, I initially get a folder with a flashing "?" followed briefly by the happymac. A moment later I get a message saying that I need to restart my Mac. I've restarted several times to no avail.
I've previously had some luck with G5's by popping the RAM and going through stick by stick to see if there is bad RAM - it came with three 1GB sticks and 1x 128MB stick. However, now, no matter what stick I use I have no video and a pulsing power LED every 4 seconds. After being left on for several minutes, I saw the light pulse quickly three times. That occurred exactly once. So I have two issues and I am not really sure how to troubleshoot. Any help would be much appreciated.
