IMac - strange message

I have an iMac DV G3 with OS9 and OSX 10.0 was working fine until the other day - it had question mark flashing I started it with software install disc OS9 and didn't realize my daughter had borrowed OSX from school to work on the school newspaper. I bought OSX from the internet and after backing up my photos to a flashdrive last night, installed the OSX 10.0 it said installation was successful then I got this strange message on the screen it starts with "panic(cpu0): unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerMac2,1" bunch of other stuff then ends with panic: We are hanging here...
Can someone please help me with this. Thanks much.

Hi Kenichi & Marie,
It strikes me that a good option at this point, given the OS issues and kernel panics at start-up, may be to beg or borrow another Firewire equipped Mac if possible, to boot the iMac CRT into Target Disc Mode, and to copy across the data from the iMacs HD to a folder on the other computer.
THis might save a lot of time if the kernel panic is actually occurring because of a hardware problem of some kind. Once you had done so you could go on to steps like erasing the HD etc much more safely.
That way the data would be "safe" and people could then try and sort out the other problems with less concern about losing things that matter.
Marie, just about any Mac from the time of the iMac G3 onwards would be able to do this, as long as it has enough free HD space to cope with your data. Know anyone with an iBook or a MacBook or such who would be prepared to help you with such a thing? Is there a local Apple user group, or perhaps a school, who could perhaps help out in this fashion?
Cheers
Rod

  • Strange message when logged in to bpel console

    Hi All!
    I just installed bpel on my linux machine. After starting the bpel server and logging into the console I saw this strange message:
    Cannot find instances.
    An attempt to fetch the instances using the where condition " ( ci_state = 1 OR ci_state = 2 OR ci_state = 3 )order by ci_modify_date desc " from the datastore has failed. The exception reported is: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist.
    Please check that the machine hosting the datasource is physically connected to the network.
    Also I created a pl/sql helloworld webservice, and a bpel process to invoke it through a partnerlink. After deploying it to the default domain I see only name of the bpel process in the deployed processes list unlike both the bple process name and the webservice name.
    The linux flavor I am using is fedora red hat. The database is oracle 10g on the localhost itself. The bpel version is 10.1.2.0.2.
    What could be the cause of these problems. I feel the second problem is because of the first problem that is there. Any suggestions and solutions please.
    Thanking in advance,
    Regards,
    Deepika.

    Hi All!
    Ran the script for the view generation. Found it in domain_oracle.ddl. Granted dba privilege to orabpel to execute the script. Redeployed the bpel process. Now no error is there and the bpel process works fine.I think to successfully install bpel on linux box orabpel needs admin privileges.
    Regards,
    Deepa.

  • Strange message while booting up.

    I get this message while booting and am wondering if anyone knows how to correct the problem.
    Not activating Mandatory Access Control now since /sbin/tomoyo-init doesn't exist.
    I haven't found any solutions or much explanation of what it is using google.

    When I read the message I felt brave enough to try installing this mysterious tomoyo-tools, system boots fine like I didn't have it and it's happened about for a week. I forgot to have installed that.
    Today my machine have had strange message and didn't boot, I've tried the fallback and the first time has worked. From fallback I have reinstalled tomoyo-tools, thinking some upgrade could have broken the package.
    Well, reboot the machine and system still not booting, neither fallback this time. WTH!
    I've used the livecd to move the binary /sbin/tomoyo-init (yes of course I can chroot and pacman -R but moving the binary was enough), booting correctly and pacman -R it.
    The last message written was about kernel start etc, and the system stuck.

  • Unable to sync iPad to iMac. Get message 'iPad can't be synced because not enough free space to hold items in iTunes Library'. Only major content is iTunes U stuff. Deleted this on iPad and unticked iTunes U from syncing on iMac but message remains

    Unable to sync iPad to iMac. Get message 'iPad can't be synced because not enough free space to hold items in iTunes Library'. Only major content is iTunes U stuff (lots of videos). Don't download any music or other videos to iPad.
    Deleted iTunesU content on iPad and unticked iTunes U from syncing on iMac but message remains.
    Very frustrating.

    No longer a problem. After leaving a while and trying again the iPad and iMac successfully synced.

  • Strange messages

    Lately I've been seeing what look like email messages coming across the upper corner of my monitor.
    The only one I was able to remember part of read, "Pioneer working on after market car".
    Couldn't read the rest as it disappears quickly.
    The little box is exactly the same as when an email is coming in.
    I also recall one having to do with iTunes.
    I've looked in my mail box and download folder, but these messages don't appear in either.
    I don't recall these happening in the past, seems as though they started about couple of  weeks ago.
    I have my download preference set to Mac App Store.
    I only change it when I'm downloading an application that requires me to change to Anywhere.
    I then go back to Mac App Store.
    Can anyone shed any light on these strange messages that can't be viewed after they disappear off the screen?
    Thank you.

    It sounds like you are seeing Notifications. In the top right corner of your screen do you see the icon in the graphic below:
    If you click on it it should show the various Notifications you have received. Dragging down from the top of the grey panel allows you to turn it off, if you wish:

  • Strange message when entering the Testing subforum

    As noted by Somali.Pirates in his thread "Hello Claudio", when one enters the Testing subforum, one gets a strange message. This is the version I get in Explorer11/Win7:
    This happens to me in IE/Win, Firefox/Mac and Safari/Mac, but not in Chrome/Win. When I click on the Accept button, I enter the subforum normally. In all cases, there is that misterious "2", buy only in IE I have the option of closing the box, which apparently produces the same effect than the Accept button.
    Yet another new Adobe/Jive "feature"?

    Claudio,
    Fingers (well-chilled fingers) are X'ed for you.
    At least you have not received the dreaded "4" error message...
    Good luck to us all.

  • Starting TNSLSNR strange message

    I am using 10.2.0 under Fedora Core 4

    can anyone explain where this line comes from pls

    More sloppiness, the script doesn't specify what script interpreter to use and doesn't run in Solaris sh because it uses "export VAR=val" and "COUNT=$((COUNT+1))". These can be cured by either rewriting the script or adding "#!/bin/bash" to the script to request the bash shell.
    The dbstart script starts both the database and the listener, but the dbshut script only stops the database.
    It's obvious these scripts were casually tested on vikrkuma's Linux machine and then just put into the distribution without further testing.

  • Strange message on log

    Hi,
    Sorry if this matter was already mentioned in this forums, but I wasn't able to find something about it.
    I have a MacbookPro 13" Mid 2012, with an i7 Processor and 16GB RAM. I think that since I've upgraded it to Mavericks (10.9.x), today I have 10.9.5, I have some strange messages on log with weird characters, like this one:
    25/09/14 12:22:39,000 kernel[0]: Change trust on Pj�+������������p5?�����  �+���� 5?�������u �������+  (pid 671)
    or this one
    25/09/14 12:20:26,000 kernel[0]: Change trust on \.*+���� (pid 667)
    Any clue on this kind of behavior?
    Regards,

    Try running the combo update to see if it will clear the problem.
