Xpostfacto, Mac OS X, and Powermac 9500

Hey, has anyone had any luck installing OS X on a Pmac 9500 with Xpostfacto?



I've successfully installed OS X on an 8500 using XPF, but I'm having major problems with the 9500. It either kernel panics on startup or hangs at "waiting for root device".



Here are the specs: 9500 with 44mhz bus.

Powerlogix G3 upgrade card running at 42.5 mhz bus, 380mhz overall

(I also have a 604e/200 card but it doesn't seem to want to run OS X either).



512MB RAM from Otherworld Computing (just ordered, very high quality RAM)



1 160MB SCSI drive (running OS 9, and it fits, believe it or not)



1 1GB SCSI drive (this is where I'm trying to install OS X; I've successfully installed it in this small of a drive on my 8500)



ATi Rage128 (originally shipped with B&W G3)



Asante Fast Ethernet card



Keyspan USB card



Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
