Hi,

 

I have a PowerBook G4 (1,5Ghz/ gigabit edition) (Powerbook5,6).

OSX 10.3 is installed and I want to install 10.4 but I can't boot from the retail DVD :-( .

I can boot from 10.3 DVD (grey disk).

I tested the dvd on a imac and it booted, so dvd is fine.

I can see the disk in osx and selected to boot from it.

In Firmware (hold down alt while boot) I can't select/see the dvd, only my hdd.

 

I really don't find the solution.... would please somebody help me?

Are you sure your PowerBook actually has a DVD drive in it?
