Cannot upgrade 10.1.5 to 10.2 on Power Mac G4

[doublereed]

On a power mac G4 500mz dual processor. The 10.2 installer does not recognize hard drive at select volume (nothing shows up). I have updated firmware and the disk space is 2gb above recommended amount. The only HW change on this machine has been a memory upgrade. Any idea what the problem may be? Thanks.

Is it a SCSI hard drive? Does disk utility see it? (Quit the installer after booting from the cd)

Thanks for your response. The drive is an ATA. I do have a SCSI card installed but only a scanner is attached to it. Could it still cause a problem?

Yes, remove the scsi card! Make sure you download the latest drivers before installing the card after you upgrade. My DP G4 refused to boot with my scsi card installed until after I downloaded new drivers.
