[QUOTE="jhelm007, post: 128905, member: 6916"] Here is a guess, (but one that comes from my own experience). The revision 1 Yosimite motherboard really doesn't like having two drives on the built in IDE channel. Try removing one (or both) and booting from your Tiger DVDs (you do have a DVD drive don't you?). If that works use drive setup to reformat the IDE drive. I have one of these machines and it doesn't even work every time I reboot with two IDE drives connected to a PCI ATA host adapter. Good luck let us know if you figure this one out. [/QUOTE]
