Kernel Panic when booting from Install Disk

My problem started when I was scanning my hard drive for problems with the Disk Utility.
It notified me that I do have some issues that could be resolved by restarting my computer with the Snow Leopard Installation Disk and running the DIsk Utility from there.
I tried to do that and it starts to boot up from the DVD but after about 30 seconds I get the Kernel Panic messege (You Need To Restart Your Computer...) in various languages and I have to restart again.
I also have the installation USB that comes with the MacBook Air and I get the same messege so I know it's not a problem with the installation disk itself.
Does anyone know what to do? I can't find a solution anywhere online.
Thank.
P.S
I have a Macbook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB of RAM.

I have disconnected all peripherals and I did a Safe Boot and I still get the Kernel Panic message.
I'm using the original Apple supplied RAM and I haven't added anything to the hardware since I bought it 8 months ago.
Eight months ago means you bought it used, yes?
The next step is to reseat the RAM, meaning remove it and put it back in.
If that doesn't work, then remove one module, try booting, move that module to the other slot, try booting, repeat with other module.
If neither RAM module works in either slot, then there are almost certainly other hardware issues (usually the logic board, which covers a plethora of possibilities; unfortunately, the fix for almost any LB issue is to replace the entire LB), as the odds of both RAM modules and/or both slots being faulty are extremely low (but possible).

Kernel Panic When Booting with Install DVD

I get a kernel panic when booting from the OSX 4 (tiger) install DVD. I am using a Quad G-5 with 8 gigs of ram.

Have to ask what version your Quad came with, whether same DVD you are using now. Apple now has Tiger DVDs w/ 10.4.6 for sale.
When booting, or when you get to the screen to select Languages on the initial screen (before you can select DU or Installer etc)?
How about Option booting to Apple Hardware Test and running extended test?
Did you run memtest or anything when you installed RAM (assuming you didn't buy it BTO w/ 8GB).
Any time adding or changing hardware, including memory, it is either a good policy or essential in some cases to boot into Open Firmware (command option of) on startup and type "reset-nvram" and 'reset-all" after installing. Same for PCIe or even swapping out disk drive (where sometimes a drive won't show up or allow you to partition).

Kernel panic when booting from DVD or external drive

Hey Folks,
I have a 13" MBP, seems to run fine for the most part.
However, I can't boot from DVDs or external hard drives. Disk Warrior, my and a tech support buddy of mine's OSX Snow Leopard DVDs, and external boot disks all cause a kernel panic when selected from the alternate boot menu when rebooting with alt.
The DVD/External spins up, the loading spinner goes for about 20-30 seconds, and then BAM - Kernel panic. I'd reinstall OSX... but I can't!
Any suggestions? I'd rather not send the computer to a tech for a week - I need it daily for work.

G5 Grey screen (Kernel Panic) when booting from CD

I know there are a lot of posts with people experiencing issues with the grey screen during boot. Most resolutions point to hardware but all state, including Apple's walk through, to boot from CD and run a validation on the hard drive.
My issue is completely different. I get the grey screen of death when booting from a CD/DVD only. I can boot into the OS just fine from the hard drive. But if I try to install another OS, or just boot from the CD/DVD, I get the grey screen.
What I've done to troubleshoot:
Reduced RAM to original sticks
Removed hard drive
Replaced DVD drive
Tried multiple versions of OS discs (10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.4 server)
Reset the PRAM (Both via keyboard and Open Firmware)
Replaced the video card
Replaced the logic board
Replaced the Processor
Quite litterally the only thing original in this system is the power supply and the memory. However, I only get it when I'm booting from CD so the memory should not be the issue. I've even used a seperate power supply for the DVD drive to see if it was causing an issue.
Any suggestions? I'm looking at possibly replacing the power supply but I'm afraid it's going to give me the same issue.

Thats the thing, I've tried 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.4 server. (CD and DVD) All give me the grey screen. Well 10.2 and 10.3 give me a dark grey square in the middle where the apple should be but then the fans ramp up like it does when you get the grey screen of death.
I've also used two different drives.
It reads the disks fine with no issues. If I boot to the hard drive I can use the system like nothing is wrong. But if I want to boot from CD for any reason I cannot.
If I follow the logic it seems it is something to do with the CD/DVD drive. This is because it works fine when booted to hard drive. If it was the memory or PSU then I'd be getting the problem all of the time and not just when booting from CD/DVD.

Kernel Panic when booting from OS X install CD

Hello,
I have a PowerMac G4 Mirrored Door that used to run 10.4.8 and was acting wonky. I repaired permissions and did the hardware test to no avail so I decided to clear the drive and reinstall the OS.
I reinstalled 10.2.1 with the original CD's and that went smoothly. I then attempted to update to 10.4.8 with the OS 10.4 install CD's that we had purchased. And when the computer tries to boot from the CD I get a Kernel Panic once the apple appears on the grey screen but before the status bar starts turning.
I reset the PRAM and updated to 10.2.8 but still got the panic when I tried again.
Here is the begining of the panic code:
panic cpu 0 caller 0x002E54BC: Unable to find driver for this platform: "PoerMac3,6"
The CD's I used say "For Mac Computers".
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Nick

Unfortunatlly I was not here when the computer was upgraded last (I freelance at a studio with many computers that need constant attention). I was told that these were the CD's that were purchased for the upgrade and I've looked in vain for others.
They are 2 gray Apple CD's. The first install CD says "For Mac Computers" above Mac OS X install Disc 1. They each came in a sleeve with a sticker that says "Common Media Multillingaul"
These are the wrong CD's, aren't they? The correct ones have been lost, haven't they?
I was really hoping that wasn't the case.

Kernel panic when booting from Tiger install DVD

Short version: When I try to boot up from the Tiger installation DVD, my Power Mac G5 gives me a kernel panic. Can anyone help?
Here's the story:
I have a Power Mac G5 that I've been running Leopard on for quite some time now. Unfortunately, the software I need to use (Final Cut Studio 1) has some incompatibilities with Leopard, so I was thinking I would put Tiger back on the machine in a separate partition on the second hard drive.
I tried booting the Power Mac using the retail (black label) Tiger DVD and holding down the "C" key. The Apple logo appears on screen, but is immediately followed by a kernel panic. I'm never able to access the features on the disc. The same thing happens if I try holding down "option" during boot instead: I'm correctly allowed to choose whether to boot from the hard drive or the DVD, but once I choose the DVD, I get the Apple logo and then a kernel panic.
The same Tiger DVD works fine on other computers, so I know it's not the disc. And the Power Mac itself handles everything else without problem.
I'm kind of desperate, as I need to finish this project this week. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated!

Mac Pro Kernel Panic while booted on install disk

I have a Mac Pro with 1 year and 2 weeks on the clock. No Apple Care.
Started getting intermittent Kernel Panics about 2 weeks ago, which are becoming a real problem now. Happening every time I use the machine.
I’m running 10.6.4 and just have the original ram etc.
Having searched here for related topics, I have been trying to troubleshoot the situation.
Was looking at recent software installs or likely culprits...
Ran the normal Apple Hardware Test and passed ok.
Ran an extended test and got this error: "4HDD/11/40000004:SATA(4,0)
Repaired all internal disks as far as possible, while started up on the installation disk, and when finished I got another Kernel Panic, while still running on the disk.
Can someone confirm if this means the issue if definitely hardware rather than software?
If so is it possible to tell which hard drive is at fault - ie. which Bay number corresponds to the SATA error above, if it is the hard drives at fault?
Need to get this fixed asap, so if anyone has any thoughts on how I should best proceed, that would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Hi experiencing simular issues
Initially I thought the error was related to too many different things on the machine, but have since done a clean install to 10.6 with FCP and CS4 only and the and the errors continue.
6 error-reporting banks referred to 6 of the ram chips, but i see that your report
states 9, ( you don't have 9 ram slots do you?)
Upgraded this of a volume disc so I don't have the hardware diagnostic for this machine on a disc, and would have to go back to the tiger hardware diagnostics which should not make a difference but I see on forums people claiming this is an error only with leopard and that their systems were fine under tiger. The ram has a life time warrantee (non apple) but I need to get it to fail a test other than this apple problem report.
The machine crashes are not software specific, I was hand writing with just a browser open and it requested that I would have to restart the machine. If would be easier to test any solution I I know that combo would crash the machine other than time.
I expect the next steps
are to reseat the ram
reset the p-ram

Kernel panic when booting from USB

Hi guys, I'm trying to install arch on a cd-less HW (www.linutop.com) but during boot from USB
I get this kernel panic:

This happens with both images archlinux-2009.02-2-ftp-i686.img and archlinux-2009.02-core-i686.img.
Have checked md5's of the downloaded files and they were correct, have also tried to double write it
to the usb stick but still the same kernel panic message.
(I can play play space invaders from the grub menu though :-) )
Many thanks for any info on this.
UPDATE:
Ups, it uses AMD Geode processor and google doesn't suggest it's i686 compatible. Can this be the reason? Please confirm and I'll mark this as solved.

Kernal panic when booting from tiger disk

My friend just called me with a computer issue. She just got a used computer and it had a password setup. i told her how you can boot from the tiger install disk and reset it. She put the disk in and started holding down C before she turned it on. It sits there and thinks for a while and then she gets a kernal panic with the prohibitory sign before it gets anywhere (to the install screen). I have no idea what to tell her and she's 3 hours away so I can't really go over there easily.
Could the fact that she started holding down C before she turned it on make a difference?
Any help is appreciated.

The correct procedure for booting from the DVD is:
Start the computer and immediately after hearing the chime press and hold down the "C" key with one hand while inserting the DVD into the optical drive quickly with the other. Continue holding the "C" key down until the computer starts up from the DVD.
If the computer is already turned on, then insert the DVD into the optical drive. Restart the computer and immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key until the computer starts up from the DVD.
If the computer continues to panic despite the above procedure, then there's likely a major hardware problem.

Kernel panic when booting from CD

Hi all,
I've just tried to boot from a CD on my relatively new (4 months old) - i think this is the first time i have needed to boot off a CD.
My Panther CD boots as far as the apple logo, then it looks like a few pixels in the centre of the screen get jumbled around - and the computer does not load any further.
If I boot off a DiskWarrior CD (latest version 3.03) I get a black Darwin screen with lots of text and a Kernel Panic "we are hanging here" error, as well as a small box saying that I need to hold down the power button.
My hard disk boots OK - but I am wanting to boot from CD to repair a couple of disk errors that the drive has.
Any ideas? Faulty CD drive?

If you system is only 4 months old you very likely need a version of the OS on CD that is newer than what you are using. I had a problem with my 1.5GHz PB 17" a while back (just before Tiger came out) and I tried to boot it from a Panther 10.3.0 retail CD and it started okay then bombed - and I thought it was the somethign serious - turns out that I should have used the CD that came with it originally which had verison 10.3.3 or so - then everything was okay.

Kernel Panic when waking from sleep mode., Kernel Panic when waking from sleep mode.

Hi,
I have an Imac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo desktop which I have upgraded to lion.
Recently I keep getting kernel panics when waking from sleep mode and I cannot figure out what it is.
I am not very computer savy - I.e. I use a computer but don't know programming etc.
The computer then asks me to shut down and restart.
Any help would be much appreciated as this is driving me crazy.

Thank you very much !!

Hi, for other peoples information - I finally figured out the problem. It was actually a faulty RAM module which I had bought. I had upgraded from 2 to 4 gb of RAM using an approved type of RAM for my particular computer. Finally I removed one module of RAM (after doing nearly everything else under the sun including trying to reinstall the operating system and wipe the computer etc) and the computer worked fine.

Kernel panic when waking from sleep

My eMac (1Ghz, 256 Mb RAM, dual boot OS 9.2.2/OS X 10.2.8(upgraded from 10.2.4)) has a recurring but intermittent issue where it suffers from a kernel panic when waking from sleep.
In the past I managed to fix the issue by resetting PRAM and NVRAM, but this doesn't seem to work anymore.
Things I've found out until now:
- Apple Hardware Test and Techtool Deluxe can't find anything wrong (all tests are passed).
- No kernel panic log is written - apparently the kernel panic occurs before the log can be written.
- Crash appears to be network-related. My IP address and network card address are shown at the bottom of the panic window.
- After restarting, Finder windows revert to a state from two or three days ago...
- Login items aren't the problem. I removed them all - this doesn't make any difference.
- no weird things in the startup items folders, AFAIK.
I'm on the verge of reinstalling OS X, but I think I already did this a couple of years ago, and it didn't help.
Please help.
Thomas

Nominally, you'd download the OS X Update Combo 10.2.8 after reinstalling 10.2.4, then use Software Update to identify any additional security and other software updates. There was an issue with early builds of 10.2 failing the 10.2.8 udate if done directly, but working fine if one first updated to an intermediate version such as 10.2.6; I think that problem affected 10.2 through 10.2.3 and your 10.2.4 should be good to go directly to 10.2.8, but if there are any problems, you can go back to 10.2.4, then search the Apple Downloads link for 10.2.6, then 10.2.8
With 10.2.x, it's prudent to run Repair Permissions after each OS and security update before moving on to the next.

Cannot boot from installed disk on Intel Xserve

I have an Intel Xserve.
I have had it for some months,it has been working fine, it is a standby backup machine to others and is used as a testbed.
I have just installed from the supplied DVD 10.4.8.
The installation goes smoothly, however after the first reboot. The system is trying to install from dvd again.
I have tried installing a known working Intel boot disk, and this just gives a folder with the flashing question mark.
I have tried formatting the disk and partitioning making sure to use GUID partition and it doesn't boot.
I can however boot from a external FW drive with 10.4.10 installed.
I can then go into Startup disk and set the boot disk as on of the installed drives, but this has No effect.
I am currently trying to Clone from the FW drive to an installed drive.
Has anyone seen this behaviour?
Can someone tell me what I can try to resolve this.
All I have read regarding Flashing Question Marks is to ensure disks are using GUID partion and when booting from another disk to set the boot disk in the System Prefences.

Welcome to the forum!
You're missing the first disk which is "Rescue and Recovery", followed by CDs 1-7.
Make sure to re-align the partitions before or after OS installation in order to get the proper utilization of that SSD.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Ibook g4 won't boot from install disks

Got an ibook g4 1.33 ghz combo drive from original owner w/install disks. I want to reinstall original system but it won't boot from install disk 1. Tried starting holding down c but ignores disk. Holding down option just gives me the HD. Install disk shows up on desktop and opens. Tried disk utility from install disk but it doesn't allow me to erase the hd. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks.

OK, so let us suppose that you have the correct disk, the possibilities are:
• the optical drive is not functioning properly. However, since the disk shows up on the desktop the drive is apparently reading it.
• the disk itself is the issue. It could the wrong disk, but let us assume it is not. It could be damaged so that it is no longer bootable, or it could dirty. I would begin by giving the disk a good buffing and see if that will encourage it to boot the computer.
Good luck.
