Just upgraded to Leopard now I get constant kernal panics!

I just upgraded my G4 PPC to 10.5.8. I can do things okay on my computer for a while then it does the kernal panic. All updates have been done except the prokit 5 one (I use logic and the last upgrade messed with it). Could this be causing the issue? Here is the info. I hope someone can help so I can start doing more recording!

First, I would disconnect all peripherals except the original Apple keyboard and mouse. Boot the computer into safe mode if possible and do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your currently installed OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Now, you did not indicate if this upgrade to 10.5.8 was from an earlier version of Leopard or if you first upgraded to Leopard then to 10.5.8 using the combo updater. I'm assuming the former, so after you've done the above repairs reinstall the 10.5.8 Combo Updater. If you did not use a Combo Updater, then you can download it from support.apple.com/downloads/.
If the above doesn't help then I would suggest reinstalling OS X as follows:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
And, if the above doesn't help start looking at the probability of bad RAM.

  • Just upgraded to Leopard but unable to log in

    I have  a G5, and I just upgraded to Leopard. It installed fine, however, now I am unable to log in. I had it set with no password, and now when I try to log in the box just shakes and won't do anything. I tried to reinstall the software, and I tried the Archieve and Install optio as well. I tried to start it in 'safe mode'. I also tried resetting the password. None of this has worked. This is my first Mac, so I'm new to this. Any helpful solutions out there?

  • Help! Upgraded Snow Leopard now I can't even log in

    Just upgraded Snow Leopard(I think it was the update from 10.6 -> 10.6.2) on my Macbook pro via the software updater. At the end of the installation I got a message saying that there was an error and the update didn't install correctly. I restarted the mac normally and got a log in screen (which I never had previously). I enter my password correctly and then get a blue screen for a few seconds before it brings up the login page again. I can't find a way around this. I know I have entered the password correctly because the login screen doesn't shake.

    You have a hosed installation. Step one is to try to boot into safe mode. Details in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 If able, then download the 10.6.2 COMBO update and reinstall it. Hopefully, that will fix the issues. If not, boot with your SL install disc and reinstall 10.6.0. Alternatively, restore the bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup of your previous installation. See these for details:

    hi just upgraded to lion, now i cant use "word" help please

    If it's Word 2004 or earlier, it's for real. That is a PPC app and it is no longer supported in Lion. You need an Intel version of Office. You and a lot of others who didn't know are out in the cold.

  • I just upgraded to yosemite, now gimp is not opening.  i downloaded and isnstalled xquartz, restarted my computer and gimp is still not opening.  i click on the icon and nothing happens.

    I was using gimp fine for years with my osx 10 6 8 up until yesterday.  Last night when I downloaded yosemite, gimp has not been working ever since.  I clicked on the icon and it said that x11 wasn't compatible with yosemite and lead me to a link from apple support which said that I need to download xquartz for gimp to work. 

  • Just upgraded Photoshop and now it will not launch

    Just upgraded Photoshop and now it will not launch.

    The rule of thumb I follow says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open.  I have seen the scratch file exceed 300 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.
    As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS.  I also have 16 GB of RAM installed.
    Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.
    The scratch often exceeds 300 GB when working with very large pano shot, for instance; and in one extreme case I've seen it grow to over 800 GB.

  • Where did my I photo library go?  Just upgraded to Leopard on a new Imac

    Where did my iPhoto Library go? I just upgraded to Leopard and went to iPhoto and there is nothing there. I'm on a 2.8 Gh Imac and did a software migration before loading Leopard. When I click media in any of the iWork suite, nothing comes up in the media inspectors. Did I lose them all?

    HI TD - thanks for your response.
    I did the firewire migration from the old imac G5 in Tiger. Then I loaded Leopard. My photos folder is empty on this new one. I've been thinking of uploading from the old computer before giving it over to my husband. But, if there's another way to find those photos on this iMac, that would be great.
    (I had a similar dilemma with iTunes because I didn't know the music wouldn't import on it's own and found a way to make that happen, so I'm assuming that I can do the same with iPhoto, if I can find where the files are!)

  • I'm getting the kernal panic screen when I put in DVD

    My iMac G5, 2 GB has been slow, and occasionally getting the "restart your computer" screen. I ran the Apple Hardware Test on it twice. It passed both times, so I decided it must be software. I proceeded to do a clean install of the OS. Now I'm getting the Kernal Panic screen just as the computer recognizes the disk and is about to launch the installer. I've been reading the forums on Kernal Panic. Could be RAM memory. But could it also be the optical drive if its slow to spin at first?
    What info on the "Panic" screen would tell me where the problem is?

    Your title is a little confusing; are you getting the message ONLY when you put a DVD in, or does it also happen when starting the computer up?
    If it's the DVD, is it the OS DVD? Are you sure you are using a PPC DVD and not an Intel DVD? I recall the same panic screen on my own G5 1st gen when I mixed up my Intel DVD with my PPC DVD.
    The first line of your panic (panic(cpu 0 caller 0x002DEC28): Unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerMac12.1") was very similar to mine, except mine had "panic(cpu 0 caller 0x002DEC28): Unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerMac8.2"

  • Brand new MBP Retina constant kernal panics

    I have a new MBP Retina with Mavericks 10.9.4 installed. I have received constant kernal panics since a few days into it. It seemed as though they were being cause by the io/logic boards, but those have both been replaced now. OS has been reinstalled multiple times to no avail. BSD and kernals blamed are all over the place (Dock, WindowsServer, mds; filesystems, AppleSMBusController, IOAcceleratorFamily)

    I've got many more where that came from. I just don't want to post a wall of text.

    An update on my situation.
    I had my macbook pro replaced with a brand new one by Apple, which was brilliant customer service.
    Before giving back the old macbook, I decided to copy all my essential documents over to a usb stick. I also formatted my time machine external drive so it was blank.
    Rather than restore this new macbook using my time machine backup, I set it up as a new machine and copied just my documents from my usb stick. I then proceeded to carry out fresh installs of software I regularly use but nothing non-essential (namely Spotify, Firefox, Chrome, xCode, Adobe CS5, Squidman, MAMP and Office 2011).
    For three days everything worked beautifully - until last night when I had my first kernel panic on this machine. Nothing was running apart from firefox when this panic occured. The report is below and states the process which was running was 'plugin-container' which is part of firefox.
    Below is the log output:

    I'm running the latest OS X Mavericks - all updated to date.
    I've tested the thunderbolt display with a friends MacBook Air and I see no problems there.
    Any clues what is going on? Or it this latest Kernel Panic just a coincidence compared to my previous macbook?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Constant Kernal Panics

    I have a faithful iMac G4 that will now now longer boot up.
    Usually my computer is turned on constantly, occasionally every few weeks or so I restart it due to software updates or just because I hadn't done it for a while. All these problems started after I turned the computer off and unplugged it for an hour or so while some electrical work was done in the bathroom (new switch for the shower).
    The only other thing different about the machine is that about 4 months back we installed a new dvd burner as my superdrive had given up the ghost. An engineer friend who knows his stuff did it for me (with me watching, wincing as he pried apart my machine, It is my baby after all ) and all went fine.
    Now after turning the computer off for a few hours, I'm constantly getting Kernal panics during the boot up process, but in differing places. Sometimes it's while the grey apple is on screen, sometimes when the screen has gone blue just after. Once in a blue moon it actually loads the operating system only to kernal panic a minute or two later.
    So I booted into single user (after looking on the web) and ran fsck -f and it said there was a segmentation error, I then ran /sbin/fsck –fy after reading official apple support documents and looking around a bit more and found that this is apparently what your supposed to type (i'm not a command line guy) and it said all was ok. Each time I ran it it said the HD appears to be ok.
    So I booted up with the Tiger install dvd and it kept kernal panicing again and again (at this point i'm thinking - **** it it's going to be hardware related) finally the dvd booted and I ran disk utility to verify the disk and it said the HD was ok. I decided to do a repair permissions and then went to the bathroom (I was getting ready for work) only to come back to a kernal panic.
    I've reset pram multiple times, I've removed 3rd party RAM I had installed when I got the machine a few years ago. That I thought has fixed it until the next day it started Kernal panicing again.
    I ran the extended hardware check and there was no problems, I then ran the quick check and it got an error with text coming down the screen about memory address's (i think, I know I should have paid more attention) and the option to type reboot.
    So I did and tried again, this time I did the quick test first, and it passed, then I tried the extended and I got the same error.
    So I turned it all off, I booted up fine till it got to the desktop where it kernal paniced again.
    Now I did a pram resett during boot and when it gets to the grey apple I get a kernal panic and a screen full of text.
    So I booted the tiger install disk and wiped the HD (it was all backed up), Hoping that this would help...
    Nope I now have a completly blank HD and an iMac that will not install an operating system.
    It's just got to be hardware hasn't it? From things I've read it looks to be a logic board problem, any idea how much this would cost me to fix in the UK?
    So anyone have any idea's about what I can do?

    Hello, 
    Those don't sound like Kernel Panics to me. Here are some things to try:
    1. Reset the PRAM.
    2. Boot from your Tiger Install DVD. From the Menu Bar choose Disk Utility select Macintosh HD on the left hand pane and run Repair Disk and Repair Permissions. Try booting again.
    3. Try holding down the shift key after the start-up chime (or there abouts if you still don't have a chime). This boots the iMac in to safe-mode. Go into Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and remove all the log-in items. If you've added any fonts recently remove those too.
    It's probably best if you start a new thread as this will attract more attention from the real experts.
    good luck and let us know how you get on.
