The installer still wont run, I believe it won't run because it is
already a 10.4 server PPC and the installer will only upgrade either
10.4 clients or 10.3 server.
I did try to install the individual packages
BSD.pkg and BaseSystem.pkg then ran the 10.4.8 universal updater
the computer boots then kernel panics with "unable to find driver for
this platform "ACPI" "
I tried running OSInstall.mpkg but that wont run either...
Any ideas as to what component(s) are missing?

I was hoping I could just clone the G4's hard drive to the new
Intel machine then just run the universal 10.4.7 server installer
to get the Intel binaries installed.
OS X server won't let me run the installer because the machine is
running a newer version of OS X. Is there a way to upgrade the
server this way?
I didn't want to migrate everything because we are running
upgraded versions of mySQL, PHP, Spam Assassin etc that I would
have to be reconfigured.
Edit the following two files with pico and change the versions to
10.4.6 then run the 10.4.7 server installer.
/System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
More than likely (depending on how you updated it will depend on
what you need to do) you will have to reinstall your updated
SpamAssassin.
If you configured CPAN properly you can probably get away with a
couple of terminal commands to re-install it.
something like the following should work:
su; # become root
cd ~/.cpan/build/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.7
make
make install
