Trying to install panther on a blue and white. Boots from cd to a point, then the spinning wheel stops. I have tried a new cd drive, new ram, new hard drives.

What gives?
Forget the curveball Rickey, give 'im the heater.

rhansen_x,

I know someone who has Panther running on a BW, no problem.

Battery is all I can think of. Zap PRAM?

Runs on my B+W G3 350 MHz without a problem.

Have you tried removing all peripherals and reverting to original RAM?

Might help.

Could it simply be a bad Install CD?
