The big question is: did you use the 6GB disk image, or did you use one not formatted for use with PearPC? If the second... well, there's your problem.

Hi,

Start with changing two config file entries:
prom_bootmethod = "select"
prom_env_machargs = "-v"

The first one will allow you to see which partitions are available on your hard disk image and dvd image.
The second one will allow you to see the actual boot process, so you know whether the dvd image is bootable at all.

Have you tried using the actual install disk? If you set ide0_slave to use the cd/dvd drive in your machine, you "should" be able to boot from the disk itself, without making an image:
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "e:\" #enter your cd/dvd drive letter
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

Best,
Cat_7

Finally I reached Tiger!
The problem was the .iso image but as you can see in these 2 photoes:

it stops working.
I need some help again.

Thank you all

Hi,

Those errors have been around in pearpc for a long time. When you move the mouse too much, the errors in the command window scroll by until pearpc locks up.
First try to set redraw_interval_msec = to lower number. 10 or 15 might be good.
If that doesn't help, try different versions of pearpc from here: http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/downloads.html

There is also a version from someone named redscorp, perhaps that version solves the issue. His version, however, uses some different entries in the config file, so you would need to find out how to configure it correctly.
http://pearpc.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5523 (use the 2008 version)

Best,
