problem installing JAG

[Thomas Gradwell]

Marty:

I am a couple days behind reading my digests, but I figured I would 
reply to your problem seeing no one has been able to help you as of 
Sunday.

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be RAM related.  A guy at 
work also had a similar problem and it was RAM related.  I pulled 
everything except the 128 that came with my B+W G3 and installed 
without a problem.  The guy at work ended up sending his to a service 
center because the only RAM he had in it was the RAM that came with it. 
  They determined it was defective RAM from Apple.

OSX is a lot pickier about RAM than OS9.  I never had a single problem 
with the RAM I was using in OS9 but I couldn't even get the OSX 
installer to run without kernal panics.  I went through all the things 
you did, reformatting, changing partitions, etc.  Finally I started 
pulling third party hardware and I discovered the problem.

That could also be the reason you were experiencing crashes on OSX.1

Let me know if this helped.
