Kernel Panic for a powerbook driver, but i have an ibook...

I was having trouble with my Finder in 10.2.8 so I was told to get a 10.3 disc to do the Archive and Install feature. I got a hold of the discs and went to do the install and a Kernel Panic popped up. Here's a copy of it:
Panic(cpu 0): Unable to find driver for this platform: “Powerbook2,1”.
Latest stack backtrace ro cpu0:

I went to Dr. Smoke's website and figured out that it's a problem with the System folder. My questions are: a) does this have anything to do with my finder problem in 10.2.8? and b) why does the powerbook divers matter if I have an ibook clamshell?

Mike--
Sounds to me like you got hold of 10.3 discs for a specific PowerBook, not the a universal installer, or the 10.3 discs for your particular iBook.
As a general rule here's how it goes: you can't use the installation/restore discs that came with a particular Macintosh with another model Macintosh. It doesn't have all the drivers. For example, a PowerBooks' disc would have different drivers for fans, etc., than would the disc for an iMac G5. However, if you can find Panther retail discs, then you'd be fine, as the retail versions would have the proper drivers for all compatible Macintoshes that were released before it.
As to why it says "Powerbook2,1", at that low of a level, the kernel sees portables as Powerbooks. They use the same logic more or less on the desktop Macs, where the iMacs and Power Macs are both "PowerMacN,N" with the Ns distinguishing between models. The Rev. A iMac G5 is PowerMac8,1.
This isn't necessarily so, by the way, for the Intel Macs, where so far the strings are a bit more specific...

Kernel Panic: Unable to find driver for this platform

So, my 1 GM RM, 1.5 GHz Powerbook G4 (15 inches) has been behaving wonderfully lately. Until, this morning, it locked up -- as it sometimes does -- after inserting a 3rd party SATA card and waking it from sleep.
This is normally not a problem. A reboot gets things back on track. Not today. The reboot stayed on the grey screen with the white apple logo. I tried booting off of a Disk Warrior CD and an OS X 10.4 install DVD. I go this kernel panic:
Unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerBook5,6".
But...and here's the best part...if I boot into target disk mode and hook the computer up to another similar Powerbook we have, the similar PowerBook boots fine using my drive.
So, it seems to be a hardware problem with my PowerBook. Any ideas on how I narrow it down?
Thanks,
Gary

Glad you found your problem. Our kernel panic on our 15" G4 is a bad logic board. $500+ to fix it. Just found out yesterday.

UCS B-series :enic driver version 2.1.1.41 is causing kernel panic for RHEL5.7

The enic driver version 2.1.1.41 which comes with driver iso ucs-bxxx-drivers.2.1.1a is resulting in Kernel panic for RHEL5.7
When RHEL5.7 OS is installed, the kernel version that gets loaded with the iso that I have is 2.6.18-274.el5 x86_64 whereas the kernel version expected by the enic driver provided by Cisco is 2.6.18-164.el5(supported distribution). The Cisco documentation says : If kernel version does not match, the enic RPM cannot be installed.
The enic driver that comes with OS is ver 2.1.1.9 whereas the one Cisco provides is ver 2.1.1.41 . The system crashes for non-matching distribution after loading the driver version 2.1.1.41 .

Here are some other details:

[SOLVED] Kernel panic for an unknown reason

[Solved] Steps done to solve it:
0. Panic because I couldn't play starcraft2 (this step is sooo important! ;)
1. Updated my mirrorlist.
2. Forced a refresh on the package list from the new mirrorlist. "pacman -Syy"
3. Downgraded the kernel.
4. Deleted the latest kernel package from the pacman cache.
5. Updated the system. (pacman -Syu)
6. Thanked lilsirecho for helping out!
7. Profit
Hi all
I just did a "pacman -Syu" this afternoon and after that I'm getting kernel panics for unknown reasons.
edit: I had kernel 3.0.4 befure syu and I have kernel 3.0.7 now. I tried downgrading wine and the kernel with no success.
It first happened when I tried to run StarCraft2 with wine. I even created a post looking for help because of that.
Later on I tested another game, just in case, and it crashed too.
Looks like a wine problem, right? Or even a graphics driver problem.
That's what I thought too. But then I tried to update with "yaourt -Syu --aur" and in the first package compression it freezed once again. And it does fail everytime I try to update with yaourt during the compression phase.
What do this situations have in common?
My opinion is that they all require a lot of resources. StarCraft 2 puts my PC at 100% almost all the time. The other game is pretty old, but it freezed during an "environment loading" phase, right when the map was loading. The compression phase of yaourt also consumes a lot of resources.
This is my view of this problem, but I could be completely wrong.
What I need is help finding what is the real source of this kernel panics. I don't know where to look for the logs or the error reports when a kernel panic occurs.
I hope someone can help me trace the problem somehow. I think I'm lost
ty in advance.
cheers!

Possibly caused by a mirror download.
Perhaps you need to revert kernel and insure you have the latest mirrorlist and then syu again.
When I saw your response I thought: "Why should that be true? I downgraded the kernel with no success. Doesn't make much sense".
But then I did what you said:
Downgraded the kernel back to 3.0.4.
Moved the latest mirrorlist.pacnew I had to be the mirrorlist in use.
Then did a "pacman -Syyu".
And, miraculously, it works fine now.
How in the world did you know that could be the reason? It would have been the last possibility I would have thought about, no doubt about that
Thank you very much lilsirecho. Your post really helped me.
Not gonna mark this as SOLVED yet. Yesterday I marked my other thread as solved too soon and I regretted my decision.
I will leave a 1week time-frame to be 100% sure that it is fixed, just in case.

Kernel panics with 10.6.6 but only on Mac Mini??

Have looked through all the posts regarding kernel panics after upgrading to 10.6.6 (I skipped 10.6.5 and used combo update). All is well on my Macbook, although a few wifi drops (but may not be connected with upgrade). BUT my Mac Mac mini is having frequent kernel panics, was daily after waking from sleep, but have repaired disk (directory wrong) and repaired permissions but still having panics every few days, always after waking from sleep.
Has anybody found any sure answers to this problem? Anything else I can try. Otherwise I am going back to 10.6.4.
On this note can I run the installer disk and downgrade - do I need to do erase and install, or will it just downgrade with a normal install
Any help gratefully received....

Reinstall the OS from the disc automatically takes you to whatever version's on the disc. No need to erase and reinstall. Additionally, see

1 Kernel Panic Fix - Downgrade Motu Driver

Just wanted to add a topic to the forums to let people know about an issue I've discovered with the audio drivers from MOTU.
It seems as though their latest driver update (1.4.7) for any of the firewire consoles (entitled - *MOTU 828/896/828mk2/896HD/Traveler - 1.4.7*) is not compatible with OS 10.4.x Tiger. After installing this driver the system may have a classic kernel panic after a restart.
All you need to do is un-install version 1.4.7 of the driver and download + install version 1.4.1 available here
Hope this helps anyone with a similar issue. It seems a common cause for kernel panics is an incompatible driver for 3rd party hardware.

Thanks for the tip.

If I'm in LIghtroom 5, and try to Edit in Photoshop CS6, I always get the following message: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility." But I have updated to 8.6 and have no remaining updates. How can I fix this?
If I click "Open Anyway" or "Render using Lightroom", I get the following message:
"Adobe Photoshop CS6 cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
Please tell me what to do so I can edit from Lightroom to Photoshop.

In Photoshop, if you choose Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw, does it say 8.6?
Seems to me there was some hiccup they found in the update process, which prompted this:
Camera Raw updates cannot be applied
I honestly don't know if the problem could apply to 8.6 as well, which is why I asked you to check to make very sure you really got it.

Be aware, you go that route & every time you try to update or restore, it will error out, leaving your phone unusable. Not to mention, you void all warranty/support.
Sell it & use the proceeds towards an officially unlocked iPhone bought directly from Apple.
Good luck.

Kernel panic after replacing hard drive in Powerbook 17"

I need help with a kernel panic that won't even let me start up. Here's a detailed account of what happened:
The hard drive in my Powerbook 17" recently failed. Since it is out of warranty anyway, I decided to try to replace it myself. I found a good tutorial with photos online and was careful to rehook everything appropriately. After the replacement, I immediately installed OS 10.2 from my Apple Software Restore CD. It seemed to successfully install on the new HD.
After installing OS X, I restarted. I got the Apple logo on the grey screen but as soon as the "gear" started spinning, I got a kernel panic. I tried resetting the PRAM and the PMU but still got the panic message so I fired up Apple Hardware Test CD. Without even running the test, it gave me the message that errors were detected with my RAM upon startup. In the Hardware Profile tab, under Memory Overview, it showed:
768/1024
SODIMM0/J20STANDARD512/512
SODIMM1/J23REVERSED256/516
The last line "SODIMM1..." was red. It appeared that one of the sticks of RAM was damaged. However, when I swapped the sticks, I still got the kernel panic, but the Hardware Profile no longer listed either of the sticks in red and the full 1024/1024 MB was shown.
Does anyone have any idea why I am still getting a panic message? Could I have damaged the RAM itself or the RAM slot? (I was very careful when pulling it out.) Any help would be much appreciated. This has been a great computer for about 6 years and I hope to get another few out of it!
Peter

For anyone interested: I experimented with this a little more last night. By switching the RAM sticks, the memory problem seems to be resolved. I was still getting the kernel panic though so I put the original hard drive (which is on the verge of crashing) back in the machine and everything booted up just fine. It seems like the problem may actually be with the new hard drive. I don't need to do anything to the drive other than pop it in the machine, right?

It seems to me that the problem is somewhere in the ATI kernel module. I've run Disk Utility, fsck, and AppleJack, and all come back with no problems. I also ran the Apple Hardware Test and everything came back OK. I haven't added anything to the computer application-wise. In fact, the only thing that changed was the 10.4.8 update.
I don't really want to archive and install if I don't have to. Does anyone know what may be causing this?

Hi, cygnus8595. Welcome to the Discussions.
Each of your panic logs begins with one of the following lines:
Unresolved kernel trap(cpu 0): 0x300 - Data access
or
panic(cpu 0 caller 0xFFFF0003): 0x300 - Data access
These indicate an 0x300 trap (error). The 0x300 (Data Access) exception indicates the processor could not perform a data memory access. Potential causes, in general terms, include RAM problems, hard disk corruption, and programming errors.
"Programming errors" in this case can include invalid instructions and violations of protected memory, however it is often difficult to differentiate a programming error from a RAM or hard disk problem since the latter two issues can cause a valid instruction to appear invalid.
As you noted, the Backtrace section of the panic logs flag your graphics card and related subsystems:<pre>Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):
com.apple.ATIRadeon(4.1.8)@0x7ce000
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(1.7)@0x45f000
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(1.4.1)@0x6ab000
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(1.4.1)@0x6cf000</pre>This may indicate a problem with the graphics card, such as bad VRAM (video RAM), but further testing is required.
See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics.
My FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work through to the end, following the instruction in the order specified, including the "If all else fails..." section if a cause or resolution is not found in an earlier troubleshooting step therein.
Good luck!
