Kernal panic after failed Leopard install

Was upgrading a MacMini from the installed 10.4 system to 10.5. The install reported a problem reading the DVD during the first phase of the install (when the DVD and platform was being analyzed) and before any install started.
Rather than removing the DVD, I went ahead and ran the install a second time, this time hitting SKIP during the first phase. This move the install to the actual install which tried to start but stopped after less than a minute again reporting a problem reading the DVD.
Since I wasn't sure how to eject the DVD from within the installer, I decided to boot using the 10.4 installed system. Within seconds (just after the apple logo was displayed) there was a kernal panic. A complete shutdown and reboot of the Mini failed to solve the problem and the panic occurred again at the same location in startup.
I got help on how to remove the DVD and, sure enough, it did have a water spot which I cleaned and re-ran the 10.5 install which was successful. I'm able to boot the new system with any panic.
I ran a repair disk just to make sure there wasn't some other problem that might have been unrelated to the failed install but no errors (other than a couple APL not found messages) were found.
My intent is to migrate from a G4, now also running 10.5 but this experience has left me a little concerned that there may be a problem on the Mini that may not have been resolved through the successful Leopard install.
Are there other tests or utilities I can run to get more comfortable that the panic is gone before I do the migrate?
Thanks
Tom

Use the Apple Hardware Test program that shipped with the machine and then follow up with running Rember. Once that's done, install Leopard and migrate from the G4, make a bootable backup/clone of the new installation, and then apply any subsequent updates.

  • Cannot restart after failed Leopard install

    Attempted to install Leopard on iBook with appropriate processor speed. Installation fails. Reran installer and let DVD be checked. States problem with DVD. When I try to restart the computer, it will not restart. Spinning wheel just keeps spinning. I cannot get the DVD to eject.
    I have already had to pay to have 24" iMac fixed after failed Leopard install, 2-3 hours trying to get through to Apple, and prior to posted comments on installation problems on the web site.
    So far lousy product and very lousy service/support.

    To eject the disc - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50991
    Once you eject the disc, gently clean it before reinserting it. Some dvd drives are very fussy about the media.

  • Kernal Panic after failed 10.5.8 update. Think I have made things worse!

    My daughter clicked the update button without thinking when notified of a 10.5.8 update. 2 hours later the Macbook Intel 12" was still spinning. She cancelled the update, waited for it to close down and went to bed. Next morning Kernal Panic. I have scanned the discussion pages and carried out all suggestions, reset PRAM, single user mode etc but to no effect.
    Originally a second hand purchase about 2 years ago, we dont have the original Leopard installation discs nor some of the apps that came with it (CS3), but have plenty of Time Machine backups on an Iomega firewire drive.
    So I used my 10.5 MacBook Pro discs and got the Disk Utility going. No disc faults and drive was SMART Verified. Hundreds of permission repairs and still Kernal Panic on restart. Using same discs I tried to Restore system from backup but drive not visible. Using Disk Utility I tried to restore using the manual option and it allowed me to drag the Backupdb file to the source drive. Being thorough I asked it to Erase and Restore.
    After 15 min it had read the files, after another 14 it had verified them, then the message Operation Timed Out, could not complete. Now I have a completely wiped MacBook Drive and no way of restoring the data.
    Have checked with local Apple dealer, Leopard 10.5 is no longer marketed and Snow Leopard 10.6 will not allow me to restore an earlier System. He suggested I bought a 2nd hand copy off ebay! This sounds like possibly adding to my problems.
    Q1 : Can I use Snow Leopard to restore an earlier system from Time Machine on a wiped drive?
    Q2 : Can I use a previously registered copy of Leopard legally if original machine scrapped.
    Q3 : Could a third party repairer install a copy of 10.5.6 long enough for me to carry out a System Restore from the Time Machine backup.
    Q4 : Have I completely wrecked this mac and should I start from scatch with Snow Leopard?
    Any suggestions gratefully received. I am afraid to do anything else in case I make recovery even more difficult. Thanks in advance.

    Had I read of your suggestion before I stupidly wiped the drive I would most certainly have given it a try. It would be my first action if i am ever in this situation again. As it is I have managed to find a resolution myself which i include here for any other folk unfortunate enought to find them selves in a similar position.
    My frustration at this problem was made greater by being outbid at the last minute on a copy of Leopard on Ebay. I would never normally buy second hand software and find it incredible that Apple do not continue to sell the original product. If they dropped the price by 20% on recently updated system software they would still have plenty of customers, either in my position or 10.4 non intel users wanting to get up to date.
    Anyway in a more considered moment I bought a copy of Snow Leopard on the basis that it is an upgrade to 10.5 not a complete rebuild. Sure enough after chosing the language I had the option of the Utilities menu and the Restore System From Backup option recognised the various Time Machine backups on the firewire drive. 1 hour later it was identical to the pre kernal panic episode.
    Suffice to say Software Update had now been deactivated on all my Macs.

  • Kernal Panic after attempting to install IOUSBFamily Kernel Extensions

    Wondering if anyone can direct me on how to "Restore" my Original IOUSBFamily files? Tried to install what I thought was "updated" Developer IOUSBFamily from Apple's website but on Re-boot my MBP won't start up at all. Keep getting a message "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button" (black screen with a grey power button behind the text).
    I'm 100% sure of two things; 1st - Yes I'm an idiot for installing something I wasn't sure of 2nd - the cause is the IOUSBFamily drivers I installed.
    Luckily I have my old hard drive here and I can get my MBP booted using it via an external enclosure with USB Cable. The Apple Support article I read indicates "you can use Terminal to restore the original IOUSBFamily kernel extension back into the /system/library/extensions".
    Already tried the obvious - tried copying the "extensions" folder from my old drive to the corrupt drive and no go. Anyone know how on earth I restore the old files?
    Many thanks to any who can offer assistance!

    If all else fails, you can reinstall Snow Leopard using the same installer disc you used to install it originally (or your grey system discs if your Mac came with Snow Leopard installed). This will not erase your user files but you will have to update the OS & Apple-supplied apps after the installation. This isn't as painful as it sounds if you use the Software Update app immediately following the first normal restart after the installation completes. Software Update is smart enough to pick the most appropriate update(s) to get your Mac back to the latest software, including automatically picking the Combo version of the OS updater if the installed version is more than one minor version behind the latest one.
    In fact, given how slow a Time Machine restore can be, if you have a fast high speed Internet connection this could take less time & effort on your part than doing the TM restore. Plus, it guarantees that you get the latest versions of everything & that they are all properly linked.

  • Kernal Panic after mountain lion install

    Tried various solutions on fixing this and its just become annoying and inconvient. Tried doing the Pram reset. Tried reinstalling mountain lion 3 times. This is just crazy. Every time I buy a new OS its always problems. I can't stand it. Next time I'm going to wait a few months before getting another OS from apple. This panic happens on a restart and when I shut down. Also happens to freeze after I close the laptop while its on and refuses to wake up.

    Those files "hack" OS X in order to start it on any PCs. They were designed for OS X Lion but they don't work with Mountain Lion, and that's why you are getting kernel panics.
    As you have a Mac, OS X won't be damaged and it will start properly after deleting them. Your log clearly shows that the SMC and CPU power management extensions are causing the kernel panics, and you also have third-party extensions that belongs to SMC and CPU power management for PCs, so that's the problem

  • HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

    HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
    Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

    Keith,
    I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

  • Have people returned ipods after failing to install itunes?

    I have exhausted all the information on here to try and install itunes after receiving errors 1305 & 1603. Just wanted to know if people have returned their ipods after failing to install itunes?
    I think it is very poor that you are unable to contact apple and speak to someone if you are having these problems.
    I am very disappointed by my first experience of owing an ipod.
    Louis

    Error 1305 is usualy something to do with the CD drive or the media.
    Are you trying to install from the CD?
    You can download iTunes here -> http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605.html
    Error 1603 is usually a disk space problem. See here -> http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q111019

  • Kernal panic after installing LR3- now after re-install,no privileges

    imac
    2.4 gHz
    300 HDD
    3G ram
    I installed Lightroom 3 and in 64 bit mode it crashed the system with 'kernal panic'.
    Managed to get it working in 32 bit (slowly) but was advised to re-install 10.5.8 as I was getting ACL found but not expected errors when I tried to repair permissions.
    I re-installed but now find I have no administrator privileges - so can't do any updates etc;
    managed to do: Installer>Utilities>reset password - but it still says password is wrong.
    I also had used Time Machine to back up my system : when I tried to restore, the restore button is greyed out - I can select on various items, but that is as far as I can get.
    Am at my wits end - don't see why the re-install has caused this problem

    If all else fails, you can reinstall Snow Leopard using the same installer disc you used to install it originally (or your grey system discs if your Mac came with Snow Leopard installed). This will not erase your user files but you will have to update the OS & Apple-supplied apps after the installation. This isn't as painful as it sounds if you use the Software Update app immediately following the first normal restart after the installation completes. Software Update is smart enough to pick the most appropriate update(s) to get your Mac back to the latest software, including automatically picking the Combo version of the OS updater if the installed version is more than one minor version behind the latest one.
    In fact, given how slow a Time Machine restore can be, if you have a fast high speed Internet connection this could take less time & effort on your part than doing the TM restore. Plus, it guarantees that you get the latest versions of everything & that they are all properly linked.

  • Leopard and kernal panic after starting up external hard drive

    Hi,
    After upgrading to Leopard, everytime I turn on my external hard drive after my Powerbook G4 starts up, I get a kernal panic and it says that I need to shutdown. So I do and when it restarts the disk is mounted fine with no problems. Why would it have a kernal panic? I don't need to access the external all the time so I don't need to have it on. What should I do?
    Thanks,
    Mary

    Hi,
    The drive is connected via firewire through the back of my Apple Cinema Display firewire hub. Out of curiosity, when I disconnect the drive from the ACD hub and connect it directly to my Powerbook Firewire connection, I found that I did not get a kernel panic when I turn on the drive. It mounts without a problem. It may be the ACD firewire connection.
    This is the panic log that I get.

  • Kernal panics after installing AIRPORT EXTREME PCI 54M WIFI CARD

    hi all - after reading around the forums - i bought this off ebay
    AIRPORT EXTREME PCI 54M WIFI CARD /APPLE POWERMAC G3&G4
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=37 0157697386#ht1341wt892
    but when i boot up i all i get is the screen of death - kernal panic - and need to reboot to another kernal panic
    i have tried it in slots 2-5 and the result is the same - i have now taken it out and the machine boots fine.
    I am keen to use it as a media streamer for appletv - have i bought the wrong card or is there something i can try/do?
    as always - thanks in advance
    darren, lockerbie, uk

    Hi-
    I would consider the problem to possibly be incompatibility with Leopard.
    The seller states 10.2/10.3/10.4 "and above", but does this include 10.5x? Leopard is not specifically mentioned. "And above" could mean up to 10.4.11.......
    If you have a drive with OS 10.4x on it, try booting to that volume with the card.
    If it works, then it's an OS incompatibility.
    If it doesn't, then the card is the problem.
    Biggest problem, is it looks like some generic brand. Not knowing the maker really makes trouble shooting difficult.
    Is is a Broadcom chipset?
    While generic Broadcom chipset cards worked well up through 10.4.11, Leopard seems to have "broken" that generic support that was previously enjoyed, for at least some of those chips. Seems to be an "era" related thing......
    If the chipset is Atheros, the previously successful Orangeware driver also doesn't work in Leopard.

  • Getting kernal panic when trying to install OS after HDD install

    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!

    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.

  • I had 2 sucessive kernal panic after down loading the 10.6.8 update Combo V1.1

    Can some one tell me if mine has updated the above.
    I reinstalled my Snow Leopard on my Mac Book Air 2.1 [128 GB SSD, 2GB RAM, 2.13GHz Intel] using Disk 1 that came with my computer.
    I did not look at the Snow Leopard Version after this step.
    Then checked for Software Update..which has few one among them was Mac OS X 10.6.8 update combo V1.1
    After the download and took me to restart now...which I choose took all 2 third of the way and had a kernal panic.
    Restarted in safe mode, ok. Started normally and screen shows a kernal panic log.
    Now I could see a change when go to Goole mail that I can log on to my e-mail.(I could not do it just after the Disk 1 installation except on basic HTML)
    Also checked on the Apple top corner about this apple where it shows 10.6.8.
    Does that mean the install is complete.
    Why am I getting these lock up screens?
    Regards

    Hello QuickTimeKirk, Thank you for your assistance greatly appreciated. Here is my Kernel Panic logs. mine started having lock up screens and hence thought re-install will resolve but I still getting it while trying to install my Snow Leopard. Does it suggest failing SDD on my Mac Book air 2.1? What do you think?

  • Failed Leopard Install - Not Booting

    I apologize in advance for the redundancy of my problem. But I've read all other post surrounding my problem but nothing has seemed to work.
    After failing a Leopard Install, I tried to restore my HD using the boot disc. But it gets stuck on the grey apple screen. Then it asks for a restart manually. I believe it is related to a kernel panic, but I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with what that exactly is. Am I going to have to get more RAM or even take it in for service?
    P.S.
    I've tried reseting PRAM.
    Holding (option) key during restart.
    Pulling power cord, then reinserting and rebooting
    rebooting with boot disc.
    holding (C) key during restart.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    How old is the G5?
    When you are getting a restart screen is it the one described on my FAQ*:

  • 24" iMac refurb - kernal panic after apple logo

    I received a refurbished 24" C2D iMac on Friday and it seemed to be in perfect condition. Everything worked, and all of the updates were applied.
    Upon returning to the office on Monday, there was a kernal panic when awakening it. It also consistently panics at the blue screen before "Loading Mac OS X..." and after the gray apple logo screen.
    Starting in safe mode works fine. Starting from CD works fine.
    I have wiped the drive and reloaded OS X 10.4.7, with no change, and have updated to 10.4.8 and all the latest updates (including airport 2007_002), with no change.
    Apple Hardware Test from the install CD shows that everything checks out ok. The hard drive also passed all tests. I have tried each RAM module separately.
    The panic.log file indicates that there may be an issue with the video card:
    "invalid frame pointer" and
    "Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependecies):
    com.apple.GeForce(4.3.8)@0x2c0e6000"
    Is there anything I can to single out the video card? Should I just put it back in the box and return it?

    First, I'd check this to see if the firmware is actually updated:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imacefifirmwareupdate11.html
    If not, read the read-me information available. It may be that upon restart you didn't hold down the button long enough for the indicator light to start flashing, which is the beginning of the actual installation (separate matter from the download). Remember that AirPort is an application, and preferably should be turned off post-download, pre-installation, for installation to be trouble-free.

  • New Kernal Panics after 10.4.3 Update

    I have just upgraded to 10.4.3. The computer has kernal panic'd with carbon copy cloner, installation of Logic Audio (plus content disc), and just now, as it was accessing a firewire drive.
    The apple hardware test shows up no problems. I have cleaned the cache. Repaired permissions hundreds of times. Reset the pram.
    The front firewire port failed a few months ago but with the old os this never caused a problem. (Installing logic audio doesn't use the firewire port)
    I understand I could be looking at a hardware problem, but it seems suspicious that this has started to be a problem with a fresh new install. Is it worth any kindly soul out there looking at either the last panic.log or crash report to ascertain whether it is definitely a hardware or software problem.
    Or does anybody know of any firewire test or testing utilities I could run?
    cheers
