Well, I have a 333 iMac upgraded to a 600. I installed TIger on my iMac G4 to a firewire drive. Then installed the drive into the old iMac. Got it to work!!!!!. Its unbelievably slow, but it works. I had to boot into verbose mode to get it to work though. Something with the graphics driver loading later helped. Just wondering if anyone else is having luck with some older machines. (the ones apple doesn't list) And if anyone would have some ideas on bringing back the 2d video acceleration.

Neato, pud. Could you tell us what you did at the command line to get the driver to load? No telling when such information may come in handy.

I did nothing except hold down command-v. Like I said the driver need to load later, The message I got during booting is Ati Rage Pro C NDRV is too old, but still loaded.( I wish there was a way to measure fps on my desktop, but if I had to guess it would be 1 frame for every 3 seconds. Its pretty bad, its like using remote desktop. Lots of time to open apps too.) I dont know if it will work on an iMac with and older card though. I have tried taking the ATI Rage Pro driver and the Apple NDRV drivers from 10.3 and updated the kextcache, but still no luck. I dont have any other ideas myself. That is about as far as my knowledge will take me.

Try asking on one of the Apple lists directly, to see if you can get it working properly. If that machine ran Panther, there's no reason it shouldn't run Tiger better unless some hardware drivers have been outright removed from the OS.

The reason they dropped support on older mac, I heard it's there is no enought memory for Tiger to use the graphic acceleration. I think this is also due to QE's requirement.

Now, i worried that if my powerbook g4 w/ 32vram is gonna outupdated on 10.6...
