Getting kernal panic when trying to install OS after HDD install

Question

I just replaced the HD in an iBook G3 I have laying around with a toshiba 40gb. The install went fine and I formatted it in disk utility using mac os x extended (journaled). I ran it for errors and it checked out fine. I also ran the apple hardware test CD and everything checked out there too.
The problem is I am getting a kernal panic no matter what I do. I started off installing 10.3 and the first disc installs fine, but then when it restarts it gets an instant kernal panic. I tried 10.4 with the same results. Then I tried the 10.2 discs that the iBook came with and it would get the very last step of the install on the 1st disc and would not go any farther. It said "one minute remaining" for over an hour.
I have taken a picture of the error log that shows up and you can see it at the following link:
The top line got cut off but it says "panic(cpu 0): Unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerBook4,3"
Like I said, everything checks out hardware wise and i have tried three different versions of OS X. I'm at a loss of what to do so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Did you format the hard drive before attempting the installation(s)?
In order to format the hard drive:
Start up from the Install disc by holding down the c key as the startup chime is ending. Hold down the c key until you see the progress indicator (which looks like a spinning gear).
In Tiger, select the language and continue. (In Panther, click continue, but do not go further.)
In Tiger, go to the Utilities menu (in Panther, the Installer menu) and open Disk Utility.
Click on the top hard drive icon in the left side panel.
Choose the "Partition" tab in order to format the drive to a single partition.
Click the Options button.
For PowerPC Macs, choose "Apple Partition Map." For Intel Macs, choose "GUID Partition Table."
Click OK.
Choose to format as one partition.
Name the hard drive by typing the name in the "Name" field.
Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the Volume Format.
Click on the "Partition" button.
Choose Erase tab.
Select the named volume of your hard drive in the left-side panel. (The hard drive icon which appears under the top hard drive icon.)
Click "Erase."
The hard drive is now ready for the installation of the OS.
Go to First Aid Tab and Repair Disk, then Repair Disk Permissions.
Quit Disk Utility.
Be certain to use either the install discs that came with the iBook or a retail version of the later OS. Installation discs made for other Mac models may not work on the iBook.
Good luck.
