Panic Kernal - can't load

Hi,
I've just bought a re-furbed mac book pro (2GHz, 512Mb) and I can't start OS X 10.4.9, i get the same error message
'panic(cpu 0 caller 0x0039BC83): unable to find driver for this platform: "ACPI"' and then a series of code.
Worked OK when I first started up, issue started when I selected software update. Followed the instructions on the firmware update and restarted as prompted.
I've only used if for about a day and I've run out out of options, I've tried the following:
Start in safe mode: Doesn't seem to work, still get through to the same error message.
Reset the the PRAM: no difference
Pressed command + S after launch: still get through to same error message
Hold down c at start up and boot from OS X Dvd: no difference, still get through to same error message.
Are there any options to re-install from the install CD (retail version)
Error message comes on after the Grey apple icon appears and then freezes about 2 seconds later.
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
What probably happened is that you either installed some PowerPC drivers on there, or are booting off a PowerPC disk. Neither is supported. So if you used the migration assistent to import from PowerPC, backup your data off target disk mode:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
to another Mac using the principles shown here:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1872713
And then reimport only that data known to work with your MacBook Pro after erasing and restoring from the system restore disks that came with the MacBook Pro.
If your MacBook Pro didn't come with restore disks, ask the seller to provide them.
If the seller doesn't have them, ask them to contact AppleCare to get them. They are not his to keep, and belong to the machine, and are the only things that can boot them, other than a clone backup, or a disk utility written for Intel Macs such as Techtool Pro 4.5, or Disk Warrior 4.0.

  • Panic Kernal: You need to restart your computer, Help please...

    Yesterday I installed an update on my MacBook and everything went haywire. I installed the Apple updates
    that were recommended for my computer when it did it's weekly update
    check. After the install I quit all open applications and did a
    restart per the on screen prompt. Finder closed and the computer just
    sat for over a half hour and never would finish shutting down. No key
    strokes or commands would do anything. As a last ditch effort I held
    the power key down until it shut down. I waited a minute then powered
    back up. The gray screen with the apple logo comes up then the spinning wheel. Then a
    panic kernal saying the computer needs to be restarted. I tried ten
    times then I reset the PRAM then I did two hardware checks. First the
    short check then the long one. Both tests showed all hardware to be
    fine.Then I called Apple. They told me to reset the PRAM, told me to
    do a hardware check then told me to boot in safe mode. Then told me to
    try an archive reinstall by inserting disc one, power on, then hold
    the C key after the startup chime sounds. One of two things happen
    when this is done, it either goes to a blank blue screen or the "You
    need to restart the computer" message comes up. If I power on with the
    disc in and hold the option key the hard drive and the disc shows on
    the screen. If I click on the hard drive the "restart message comes up. If I
    click on the disc the blank blue screen usually comes up but twice the
    "restart" message came up. I have tried all of the start-up key strokes, Once I got into safe mode but I can't get into it anymore, it now gives the you need to restart message. I can get into Verbose and Single user mode but I don't know of anything to try once I'm in either of those modes.I tried to boot system from single user mode by typing in the command sh /etc/rc but a long list of code just comes up and says something about the panic kernal which I believe is telling me that the same problem
    I have trying a normal boot is keeping it from booting in single user mode also. I can do a hardware test(I've done this 3 times and everything shows to be OK). The main problem I have now is it won't boot normally and it won't boot from the install disc so I am truly stuck. I am at a loss as to what I should try next
    since I can't even reinstall the software. Any help will be greatly
    appreciated especially since my free phone help ended 2 days ago and
    today was the first time I ever needed it!!
    thanks, Jason

    Thanks for replying, I have no peripherals attached, I am booting from the MacBook Tiger DVD one that came with the machine. I get the panic kernal with or without the disc installed. All hardware checks out fine in the three hardware checks I've done. I am almost positive the problem is stemming from the Apple updates performed since this is exactly when my problems began(trying to restart after the Apple updates). I just can't get the machine to boot from the disc no matter what I try so I can reinstall the operating system. I even tried using an external DVD-ROM once to see if it would boot from it but it did the exact same thing as when I try booting from the internal drive. Yes my files are backed up to an external hard drive. I've got no problem doing a Nuke and Repave if I must but since it won't boot from the disc I don't know how I can even do this. I know it is under warranty but since the hard ware checks OK it looks like there would be a way to get it running again without sending it in for repairs. However I am starting to think that's what I'm gonna have to do. I'm just glad I still have an old clamshell iBook to work with so I can access the internet to seek help. Thanks for your input, can you think of anything else I could try?

  • 10.5.5 update hangs panic msg. can not find driver for 7,2,5 system dualG5

    Down loaded 10.5.5 and ran it, loaded software and rebooted on G5 Dual 2Ghz system.
    10.5.4 worked no problem.
    Got back panic saying can not find driver for platform 7,2,5
    Anybody know how to back this update back to 10.5.4?
    or fix this to get 10.5.5 working.
    Thanks

    I am experiencing something very similar. After downloading the update, it closes all app's and attempts to install. I've been looking at a stalled progress bar for 30 minutes.... No error messages yet, but my prospects don't look good. Any advice?

  • Panic kernal attack when upgrading OS

    The last 4 times I have attempted to update from Lion to Mountain Lon and 1 try on Mavericks, I have gotten a panic kernal attack on the initial reboot.  I then have to rebuild my Mac from Lion.  Apple support has been unable to help me and I really don't want to do a complete clean install.  The last time there must have been some damage of some type done as my MacBook Pro now runs quite slow even after Disk & Permissions were checked and corrected.  Can anyone give me some help on this?  I am currently at 10.7.5 on 2.53Ghz Intel Core i5 with 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.

    Boot with the D key and run the hardware test.
    You should backup your data before upgrading anything.  Once backed up we can isolate your problem further.

  • Panic Kernal... is all lost?

    So I am getting the classic Panic Kernal Screen that tells me I must restart my computer. I have done so many times, however, I cannot get it past the startup gray screen with the white apple. I have looked at all trouble shooting ideas in forums and on the web and they all say to boot from the start-up disc and do an archived re-install. I have tried holding down "C", and holding down "X" and also holding down "OPTN" and still it locks up and tells me to re-start. is there another way to boot from the disc and re-install OS 10.4?
    Thanks so much!

    HI Eric,
    When you hold down the C key are you booting from your install disk?
    *"is there another way to boot from the disc and re-install OS 10.4?"*
    Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5: About installation options
    You can try booting from your Tiger disk and do an erase and install.
    Try booting with only the keyboard and mouse connected. Disconnect any other peripherals.
    Try booting in Safe Mode

  • How can I load my data faster?  Is there a SQL solution instead of PL/SQL?

    11.2.0.2
    Solaris 10 sparc
    I need to backfill invoices from a customer. The raw data has 3.1 million records. I have used pl/sql to load these invoices into our system (dev), however, our issue is the amount of time it's taking to run the load - effectively running at approx 4 hours. (Raw data has been loaded into a staging table)
    My research keeps coming back to one concept: sql is faster than pl/sql. Where I'm stuck is the need to programmatically load the data. The invoice table has a sequence on it (primary key = invoice_id)...the invoice_header and invoice_address tables use the invoice_id as a foreign key. So my script takes advantage of knowing the primary key and uses that on the subsequent inserts to the subordinate invoice_header and invoice_address tables, respectively.
    My script is below. What I'm asking is if there are other ideas on the quickest way to load this data...what am I not considering? I have to load the data in dev, qa, then production so the sequences and such change between the environments. I've dummied down the code to protect the customer; syntax and correctness of the code posted here (on the forum) is moot...it's only posted to give the framework for what I currently have.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated; how can I load the data faster knowing that I need to know sequence values for inserts into other tables?

    1. Don't commit in a loop - you only add to the run time and load on the box ultimately reducing scalability and removing transactional integrity. Commit once at the end of the job.
    2. Make sure you specify the list of columns you are inserting into as well as the values or columns you are selecting. This is good practice as it protects your code from compilation issues in the event of new columns being added to tables. Also it makes it very clear what you are inserting where.
    3. If you use WHEN OTHERS THEN... to log something, make sure you either rollback or raise the exception. What you have done in your code is say - I don't care what the problem is, just commit whatever has been done. This is not good practice.

  • Can we load data using .xls in user define format(without using default template)

    Hi All,
    I'm new bee to FDM. Part of HFM support i use FDM to load flatfile data. Just has a bit more knowledge than end user.
    Requirement is that i need to load data from MS excel to Planning application via FDM.
    Previously application is in Excel(Macro driven) and upstream(data) is also in Excel(multi tab).
    As of my knowledge data can be loaded from .csv file(Excel save as CSV) with single tab.
    Could you please let me know possibilities to load data from .xls(.xlsx) to FDM.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you want to load data using Excel, utilising FDM's out-of-the-box functionality you will have to use one of the templates supplied i.e. Excel Trial Balance or Excel Multi-load template.

  • Can we load data for all levels in ASO?

    Thanks

    In an ASO cube you can only load to level zero
    The consider all levels if used for aggregation hints. It allows you to tell the aggregation optimizer to look at all levels when deciding if aggregation needs to be done on the dimension

  • Can we load data for all levels in ASO cube

    Hi All,
    Can we load data for all levels of members in ASO cube in 9.3.1.
    Regards

    Yes you can load data for all levels in an ASO cube in any version HOWEVER, none of the upper level data in any cube will be there when you look for it. You will get a warning message in the load because ASO cubes don't store data at upper levels. It is the same as loading data into dynamic calc members in BSO cube. It will do the load without compalints, but there will be no data there (At least you get the warning in ASO)

  • HT4623 Please help I I have updated pc win 8, update itunes and i can open and access all in icould but my reminders will not load error message can't load reminders

    I can not open my reminders in icloud, error message can't load reminders.  Have hp win 8 and all has been fine until today for over a year. win updates are done and itune updates done, what should I do?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • I am running 10.5.8, and just updated my java to java 5 update10. Now my firefox is missing the Java plugin, and I can't load any Java applet at all. When I try it with Safari, it hangs when certain Java applet loads. HELP!!!

    Suddenly my Java plugin is missing and i can't load any Java with Firefox at all, even though i have it enabled in the browser! i've tried loading in java embedding plugin, but it doesn't work. what should i do???

    It's not in Tools> Add-ons >plugins?  Should be Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI browsers 13.5.0. What are you seeing there? I don't think it's called the embedding plugin any longer.
    Might try getting the Firefox 5 standalone application. Trash the current one and replace it. Doing this won't affect your Profile or any settings.

    If it's enabled, how can it be missing?
    If this doesn't work, ask here. No need to register. Make sure you put (Mac) in the title.

    EDIT. Oops, may be different for 10.5.8. Was thinking recent Java update for 10.6. But try installing a new app anyway. In the past, this got me the latest Java plugin.

  • How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's inside other movie clip?

    Hi.
    I creating my first flash (actionscript 3.0) website but I'm
    stuck with a visual effect I want to create.
    I have a window on my website called contentWindow. Every
    time you click a button this window is supposed to leave the stage,
    load the requested content and return to the stage.
    The sliding window is a movie clip with 83 frames, 21 to
    enter the stage, 21 to leave the stage again, 20 for nothing (its
    just to simulate the loading time) and 21 to return to the stage.
    Now my goal is, when the user clicks on a navigation button,
    the window exits the stage, loads an external SWF with the content,
    and then returns to the stage.
    I've the "window" movie clip with an instance name of
    "contentWindow". Inside there is another movie clip with an
    instance name of "contentLoader". The content that the user
    requested should appear inside the "contentLoader".
    Now, when the contentWindow leaves the stage, I get this
    error message:
    quote:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
    a null object reference.
    at rwd_fla::MainTimeline/trigger()
    If I switch
    "contentWindow.contentLoader.addChild(navLoader);" for
    "contentWindow.addChild(navLoader);" it works fine, but the
    external SWF doesn't move with the window.
    How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's
    inside other movie clip?

    Hi,
    Recently, I have been putting together a flash presentation.
    And I am just wondering if the following might help you, in your
    communication with the said swf file:
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
    onComplete);
    function onComplete(event:Event):void
    event.target.content.thinggy_mc.y -= 100;
    Not the best example, but this allows you to target a mc
    within an external swf file. I think if you look up this code, you
    will have an answer ;)
    Kind Regards,

  • After upgrading to Solaris 10 "Can't load the root filesystem" on V245

    I have a Sunfire V245 that was running on Solaris 9 (very stable). I upgraded to Solaris 10 (6/06) this morning and everything seemed to go smoothly. After the upgrade the system rebooted, but will not boot. I get the following uptput;

    It seems like the driver for that device does not exist. Since the system installed successfully it means that it S10 did find a disk. I wonder if that was a different disk than the default disk. Please boot to the miniroot and check the disk info.
