Months ago I burned a 10.3 ppc boot.iso. Today I tried it on a G4 w/ 384M of RAM, starting with the self check of the media, and it failed. Afterward I downloaded the whole 11.0 DVD iso, checked the md5sum, then burned it on 10.2 using K3B. Media self check failed on it too.
/mounts/mp_0001/sbin. Why can't it work? Why don't 'ls -rt' or 'ls -alrt' work, while 'ls -l' does?
As media check failed, your copy of the DVD is bad, thus you should not even have tried the install.
Get a DVD that passes the test.
How many would you burn before you take the position that either the G4 Mac is what is broken in some way, or the test program or installation program on the media is broken? I've now tried 3 different isos (10.3-GM-ppc-mini.iso, 11.0-DVD-ppc.iso & 11.0-NET-ppc.iso), all having passed the md5sum test prior to burn, all burned at half or less of the writer's maximum speed capability, the latter burned directly with wodim directly instead of via K3B, all on a writer that's never before produced any bad burn that I'm aware of. Even with the mini CDs, the test applet reports that the _DVD_ is broken, having failed the checksum. With the DVD, I tried both DVD as source, and HTTP as source, and with the -NET, HTTP as source, and all failed in exactly the same place. I find it really hard to believe the media could really result in the identical problem each time after so many different tries and medias. -- "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry."
