Kernel Panic When Booting with Install DVD

I get a kernel panic when booting from the OSX 4 (tiger) install DVD. I am using a Quad G-5 with 8 gigs of ram.

Have to ask what version your Quad came with, whether same DVD you are using now. Apple now has Tiger DVDs w/ 10.4.6 for sale.
When booting, or when you get to the screen to select Languages on the initial screen (before you can select DU or Installer etc)?
How about Option booting to Apple Hardware Test and running extended test?
Did you run memtest or anything when you installed RAM (assuming you didn't buy it BTO w/ 8GB).
Any time adding or changing hardware, including memory, it is either a good policy or essential in some cases to boot into Open Firmware (command option of) on startup and type "reset-nvram" and 'reset-all" after installing. Same for PCIe or even swapping out disk drive (where sometimes a drive won't show up or allow you to partition).

  • Kernel Panic when booting to Tiger DVD

    Subject line says it all. It's 2x2.5GHz G5 running 10.4.10. When I try to boot to the install DVD, I get a kernel panic. The drive works for things like installing apps, and the HD installation of Tiger boots fine, but no can boot from DVD. Is this a hardware issue?

    I just dropped off my quad at the local Apple Authorized shop. Their tech took a look at my pic http://homepage.mac.com/chadself/.cv/chadself/Sites/.Public/G-MAc%20Kernal%20Pan ic%20200709281906.pdf-zip.zip of the panic screen and feels like it may be the logic board. Maybe it is. The system still will boot to my desktop and runs thoughstill feels slow and is a bit flakey. (Compressor still crashes before it can launch, iTunes occasionally hangs etc)
    The Apple Care tech (very friendly and professional though having to repeat everything three times meant the diagnosis took much longer than necessary) had me remove all cables including power and hold power button for 20 seconds, plus run disk util, eventually gave up and sent me to repair center.
    I'll let you know what they say. I can tell you that running FCP Studio off my laptop (even if it is a MBP with 2GB mem) is not nearly as productive.;)
    Cheers!

  • Kernel Panic when booting from Install Disk

    My problem started when I was scanning my hard drive for problems with the Disk Utility.
    It notified me that I do have some issues that could be resolved by restarting my computer with the Snow Leopard Installation Disk and running the DIsk Utility from there.
    I tried to do that and it starts to boot up from the DVD but after about 30 seconds I get the Kernel Panic messege (You Need To Restart Your Computer...) in various languages and I have to restart again.
    I also have the installation USB that comes with the MacBook Air and I get the same messege so I know it's not a problem with the installation disk itself.
    Does anyone know what to do? I can't find a solution anywhere online.
    Thank.
    P.S
    I have a Macbook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB of RAM.

    I have disconnected all peripherals and I did a Safe Boot and I still get the Kernel Panic message.
    I'm using the original Apple supplied RAM and I haven't added anything to the hardware since I bought it 8 months ago.
    Eight months ago means you bought it used, yes?
    The next step is to reseat the RAM, meaning remove it and put it back in.
    If that doesn't work, then remove one module, try booting, move that module to the other slot, try booting, repeat with other module.
    If neither RAM module works in either slot, then there are almost certainly other hardware issues (usually the logic board, which covers a plethora of possibilities; unfortunately, the fix for almost any LB issue is to replace the entire LB), as the odds of both RAM modules and/or both slots being faulty are extremely low (but possible).

  • Kernel Panic when booting with another HD attached

    I currently boot of my SATA drive. Whenever I try to boot up with an additional IDE or SCSI drive, I get a kernel panic. Anyone have any ideas?

    What's the error message the kernel panics with? Does the sata drive remain at the same device node? You might want to use persistent naming for your hdd's.

  • 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 - Kernel Panic on Boot with Filevault

    My filevaulted systems are having kernel panic on boot with both 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 updates.  I have to connect the time capsule to get it to boot and fix disk permissions before I can pull the firewire out and reboot by itself.
    Anyone else?

    Hi, Brian. I had only keyboard and mouse plugged into USB. I variously had a pair of LaCie 1TB drives in the FW800 in daisychain.
    It is now working again after running the single-user mode scripts from Leopard Cache Cleaner.
    It may arise again, but the initial cause remains mysterious, the intermediate cause perhaps being a polluted boot cache. I'm hoping I'm good from here. (fingers crossed)

    Help!!! Brand new MBP with Santa Rosa Kernel Panics when started with external HD firewire 800 after 20 sec...
    I don't know what it could be???
    Do you???
    Thanx

    I'm actually having a similar issue and I don't think its related to networking at all.
    I'm currently working in a corporate environment where we deploy pre-built OS X images to machines. I recently upgraded my images to 10.4.10 before we got our first Santa Rosa machine. This image was built on a MacPro and worked on all Intel Macs down to a MacMini CoreSolo. When I deployed my prebuilt image to the SR MBP, it caused a kernel panic immediately.
    Further investigation revealed previous builds of OS X, including 10.4.10 upgraded from any other model Intel Mac will kernel panic the SR MBP. Going backwards the SR Build of OSX will not work on any previous model Mac, as any other build typically does, but causes severe graphical distortion, as if it does not have the display drivers for the other Macs.
    To make a long story short, I think your issue comes from the fact that your external hard drive has an older build of OS X 10.4 than the SR MBP will run (even though you may have upgraded it to 10.4.10). Anyone who can corroborate my story with some more testing, please chime in.
    I haven't found a solution for this issue yet other than keeping a seperate Santa Rosa Core 2 Duo image for my deployments.

  • Kernel panic when booting from Tiger install DVD

    Short version: When I try to boot up from the Tiger installation DVD, my Power Mac G5 gives me a kernel panic. Can anyone help?
    Here's the story:
    I have a Power Mac G5 that I've been running Leopard on for quite some time now. Unfortunately, the software I need to use (Final Cut Studio 1) has some incompatibilities with Leopard, so I was thinking I would put Tiger back on the machine in a separate partition on the second hard drive.
    I tried booting the Power Mac using the retail (black label) Tiger DVD and holding down the "C" key. The Apple logo appears on screen, but is immediately followed by a kernel panic. I'm never able to access the features on the disc. The same thing happens if I try holding down "option" during boot instead: I'm correctly allowed to choose whether to boot from the hard drive or the DVD, but once I choose the DVD, I get the Apple logo and then a kernel panic.
    The same Tiger DVD works fine on other computers, so I know it's not the disc. And the Power Mac itself handles everything else without problem.
    I'm kind of desperate, as I need to finish this project this week. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated!

  • Kernel panic when booting from DVD or external drive

    Hey Folks,
    I have a 13" MBP, seems to run fine for the most part.
    However, I can't boot from DVDs or external hard drives. Disk Warrior, my and a tech support buddy of mine's OSX Snow Leopard DVDs, and external boot disks all cause a kernel panic when selected from the alternate boot menu when rebooting with alt.
    The DVD/External spins up, the loading spinner goes for about 20-30 seconds, and then BAM - Kernel panic. I'd reinstall OSX... but I can't!
    Any suggestions? I'd rather not send the computer to a tech for a week - I need it daily for work.

  • G5 Grey screen (Kernel Panic) when booting from CD

    I know there are a lot of posts with people experiencing issues with the grey screen during boot. Most resolutions point to hardware but all state, including Apple's walk through, to boot from CD and run a validation on the hard drive.
    My issue is completely different. I get the grey screen of death when booting from a CD/DVD only. I can boot into the OS just fine from the hard drive. But if I try to install another OS, or just boot from the CD/DVD, I get the grey screen.
    What I've done to troubleshoot:
    Reduced RAM to original sticks
    Removed hard drive
    Replaced DVD drive
    Tried multiple versions of OS discs (10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.4 server)
    Reset the PRAM (Both via keyboard and Open Firmware)
    Replaced the video card
    Replaced the logic board
    Replaced the Processor
    Quite litterally the only thing original in this system is the power supply and the memory. However, I only get it when I'm booting from CD so the memory should not be the issue. I've even used a seperate power supply for the DVD drive to see if it was causing an issue.
    Any suggestions? I'm looking at possibly replacing the power supply but I'm afraid it's going to give me the same issue.

    Thats the thing, I've tried 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.4 server. (CD and DVD) All give me the grey screen. Well 10.2 and 10.3 give me a dark grey square in the middle where the apple should be but then the fans ramp up like it does when you get the grey screen of death.
    I've also used two different drives.
    It reads the disks fine with no issues. If I boot to the hard drive I can use the system like nothing is wrong. But if I want to boot from CD for any reason I cannot.
    If I follow the logic it seems it is something to do with the CD/DVD drive. This is because it works fine when booted to hard drive. If it was the memory or PSU then I'd be getting the problem all of the time and not just when booting from CD/DVD.

  • Tiger DVD disk cause kernel panic when booting on a new G5

    I was trying to boot a fairly new G5 system, less than 4 months old, using a retail copy of the 10.4 DVD installation disk. The computer could mount the disk and I can see its contents, but when I booted from it using the C key, I get a kernel panic.
    I tried booting from the DVD on an older G5, and it worked without any problems. Assuming that it is not a DVD drive issue, do I need to get an update for the retail Tiger DVD disk to boot newer G5s?
    Regards

    Mac OS X (10.4)
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You can generally only use newer retail disks than the disks which came with the computer to boot and install operating systems, as well as those which came with the computer to boot and install operating systems. If you are missing the disks which came with your computer, call AppleCare to ask for a replacement.
    This article explains that:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
    As for installing operating system updates to your existing system, look here for updates:
    http://www.apple.com/swupdates/
    And if you are on dialup, some authorized service centers may let you bring in a CD to burn the updates. Check with the ones in your area.

  • Kernel Panic when booting from OS X install CD

    Hello,
    I have a PowerMac G4 Mirrored Door that used to run 10.4.8 and was acting wonky. I repaired permissions and did the hardware test to no avail so I decided to clear the drive and reinstall the OS.
    I reinstalled 10.2.1 with the original CD's and that went smoothly. I then attempted to update to 10.4.8 with the OS 10.4 install CD's that we had purchased. And when the computer tries to boot from the CD I get a Kernel Panic once the apple appears on the grey screen but before the status bar starts turning.
    I reset the PRAM and updated to 10.2.8 but still got the panic when I tried again.
    Here is the begining of the panic code:
    panic cpu 0 caller 0x002E54BC: Unable to find driver for this platform: "PoerMac3,6"
    The CD's I used say "For Mac Computers".
    Any ideas would be much appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Nick

    Unfortunatlly I was not here when the computer was upgraded last (I freelance at a studio with many computers that need constant attention). I was told that these were the CD's that were purchased for the upgrade and I've looked in vain for others.
    They are 2 gray Apple CD's. The first install CD says "For Mac Computers" above Mac OS X install Disc 1. They each came in a sleeve with a sticker that says "Common Media Multillingaul"
    These are the wrong CD's, aren't they? The correct ones have been lost, haven't they?
    I was really hoping that wasn't the case.

  • Kernel Panic when booting external USB drive (WD Essential 250GB)

    Greetings...I recently was tasked with setting up three bootable external volumes for a co-worker, so I purchased a Western Digital Essential 250 GB drive.
    Everything worked just fine on my end, I was able to boot into each of the three external volumes continually and then shipped the drive to my co-worker, who when he tries to boot into any of the three drives gets a kernel panic.
    We are using different models of MacBookPro (15 in. 2.16 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) for me and MacBookPro (15 in., 2.2 Ghz dual-processor Intel) for him. We THINK it might have to do with a firmware mismatch from the two machines:
    Mine:
    Boot ROM Version: MBP22.00A5.B07
    SMC Version: 1.12f5
    His:
    Boot ROM Version: MBP31.0070.B07
    SMC Version: 1.16f8
    ...but we've never had these types of problems before, even with mismatched hardware. The OS and kernel versions (10.4.11, Darwin 8.11.1) we're running are identical, according to ASP.
    The only other weird thing is his panic log registers a different kernel version than what ASP reports, though that might be normal since hardware is not my thing:
    Kernel version:
    Darwin Kernel Version 8.9.1: Thu Feb 22 20:55:00 PST 2007; root:xnu-792.18.15~1/RELEASE_I386
    In short, if anyone has any ideas how we can get these drives to boot or can confirm that it is impossible with the mismatched firmware so we can move forward with a plan B, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Yes, sort of.
    I used 10.4.8 disks to install, but used the Apple Software Update to upgrade to 10.4.11 on two of the volumes. I was still able to boot with my machine after that however.
    As an update, my co-worker was able to "fix" one of the drives by upgrading with some 10.4.9 disks he had. He is now able to boot from that drive. That is not an option with the two others since they are already at 10.4.11.

  • Mac Pro Kernel Panic while booted on install disk

    I have a Mac Pro with 1 year and 2 weeks on the clock. No Apple Care.
    Started getting intermittent Kernel Panics about 2 weeks ago, which are becoming a real problem now. Happening every time I use the machine.
    I’m running 10.6.4 and just have the original ram etc.
    Having searched here for related topics, I have been trying to troubleshoot the situation.
    Was looking at recent software installs or likely culprits...
    Ran the normal Apple Hardware Test and passed ok.
    Ran an extended test and got this error: "4HDD/11/40000004:SATA(4,0)
    Repaired all internal disks as far as possible, while started up on the installation disk, and when finished I got another Kernel Panic, while still running on the disk.
    Can someone confirm if this means the issue if definitely hardware rather than software?
    If so is it possible to tell which hard drive is at fault - ie. which Bay number corresponds to the SATA error above, if it is the hard drives at fault?
    Need to get this fixed asap, so if anyone has any thoughts on how I should best proceed, that would be really appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi experiencing simular issues
    Initially I thought the error was related to too many different things on the machine, but have since done a clean install to 10.6 with FCP and CS4 only and the and the errors continue.
    6 error-reporting banks referred to 6 of the ram chips, but i see that your report
    states 9, ( you don't have 9 ram slots do you?)
    Upgraded this of a volume disc so I don't have the hardware diagnostic for this machine on a disc, and would have to go back to the tiger hardware diagnostics which should not make a difference but I see on forums people claiming this is an error only with leopard and that their systems were fine under tiger. The ram has a life time warrantee (non apple) but I need to get it to fail a test other than this apple problem report.
    The machine crashes are not software specific, I was hand writing with just a browser open and it requested that I would have to restart the machine. If would be easier to test any solution I I know that combo would crash the machine other than time.
    I expect the next steps
    are to reseat the ram
    reset the p-ram
    Regards
    Colm

  • G5 Black & white video when booted from install DVD

    It has been years since I installed 10.5 on our G5 so I can not remember if this happened back then but think it did.
    When I boot from an install DVD (both the original G5 DVD with Tiger and the MacOS Leopard DVD) the video output drops to 1-bit (dithered black & white) which makes it very hard to discern the text on the shaded buttons in the GUI. The video card is fine - when I hold down the Option key on boot to select the DVD the video is full-color, but as soon as it switches to running from the DVD the video becomes low-rez dithered b&w.
    Anyone else see this issue and suggestions on resolving it? The display is a Dell 17" wide model. I don't have another display that is easily swappable to see if it's a problem with it or the Apple DVI-to-VGA adapter.
    The G5 tower is a first-generation 2x2 (2CPUs, 2GHz) with 2 DVI ports on the video card (can't recall which card I ordered back then).

    Great to hear, thanks for the report!
    I suspect what happened, was that the Install also changed some PRAM or NVRAM setting, those are where number of colors are held.
    Some earlier Macs store these settings in PRAM:
    Status of AppleTalk
    Serial Port Configuration and Port definition
    Alarm clock setting
    Application font
    Serial printer location
    Autokey rate
    Autokey delay
    Speaker volume
    Attention (beep) sound
    Double-click time
    Caret blink time (insertion point rate)
    Mouse scaling (mouse speed)
    Startup disk
    Menu blink count
    Monitor depth
    32-bit addressing
    Virtual memory
    RAM disk

  • Kernel Panic when boot MacBook Pro (related to ACPI driver)

    Hi,
    since the first day that I received my MacBook Pro I have a kernel panic sometimes (not always). When it occurs i have to hard reset the computer, and normally it comes another kernel panic (a second). Finally, in the third boot, it boots and all is ok, the system goes very well.
    I only see one reference to this problem, a flickr photo at http://www.flickr.com/photos/christophermar/108747167/
    The kernel panic is like this:
    panic (cup 0 caller 0×0039AE87): Unable to find driver for this platform : “ACPI”.
    Debugger called : <panic>

    I have an actualized firmware and OS.
    Any idea?
    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Well, finally I phoned Apple to change for new
    MacBook Pro (less than 14 days).
    I hope that new MacBook don't have this problem
    because I fall in love with this "laptop"
    Glad you are getting this taken care, and also glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I had kernel panics with my MBP, so I sent it back to amazon for a refund. It was my only real problem with the machine, though, which I loved otherwise. But kernel panics are a serious defect.
