Comments on: Tiger confirmed to run on PowerBook G3 Lombard http://www.jonsharp.net/archives/2005/05/07/tiger-confirmed-to-run-on-powerbook-g3-lombard/ Weblog of an IT professional and computer scientist Sat, 19 May 2012 09:00:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 by: admin http://www.jonsharp.net/archives/2005/05/07/tiger-confirmed-to-run-on-powerbook-g3-lombard/#comment-2386 Wed, 01 Jun 2005 05:39:13 +0000 http://www.jonsharp.net/archives/2005/05/07/tiger-confirmed-to-run-on-powerbook-g3-lombard/#comment-2386 Dave, I really am sorry to hear that you're having trouble installing Tiger. I'm afraid I'm really no expert at this, I simply dug around and found a way that worked for me. I really don't have any ideas for you since it sounds like you followed my instructions well enough. There may be something useful to you in the various comments left by other visitors to my blog. As for digging out your HD, I know it's not what you wanted to do, but removing the HD in the Lombard is actually not that hard. In fact, I have a couple of HDs I use for testing and I just swap them out whenever I want a change. Anyway, best of luck and I am sorry I can't be more helpful. Dave,

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? I am new to the world of Macs (been a PC guy) so chances are its a mistake I made somewhere. But I have verified the file on my 'modified' cd and there is no more reference to powerbook1,1 (I have made 2 copies, one modifying the line to powerbook3,1 and one with it removed completely). Any help would be appriciated I would hate to have to dig out my HD from my laptop to do an install.
