[G4] My huge problems in upgrading to Panther

[CJ Scaminaci]

My Sawtooth didn't live through the upgrade. It was working for a few 
minutes, but after I installed Firewalk X the machine was completely 
broken. So, I'm back at 10.2.8 on that machine. It was the old 450Mhz 
Sawtooth but I upgraded it with a PowerLogix 1Ghz upgrade. Starting to 
think that might be the problem, just can't figure out why.
