Panic Screen when try to upgrade to 10.6

Hello
I got a mac mini, which I was trying to upgrade to 10.6 from 10.5.8
looks like installation didnt go through properly and now I have panic screen
also I cant goto target mode or option mode
because I couldn't get to my data (no target mode)I took my HDD out and installed a new one
and I was trying to put fresh copy to 10.5, to my new HDD, but it didnt work!
(some error regarding missing files and folders!)
I think 10.6 upgrade might have messed up the open firmware of my computer (cant get in target mode) is there any way I can reinstall open firmware (BIOS)?
ps: already did PR-RAM reset and pwr reset (no changes)
Thanks for help

My new HDD is seagate.
reason I said firmware because I cant boot in Target Mode or when I hit option key while boot up it wont show me list of HDD or DVD, also when I try to reset PR-RAM it wont do anything (no charms)!
no matter what I do, it just try to boot from my HDD show me the Apple icon and wheel moves then blue screen for 4 secs and then back to wheel moving screen and then panic screen (with original HDD)
any clue whats going on?

  • 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"

  • Blue screen when try to update bios on lenovo w520

    Hello everyone  I'm pretty new here and I bought a new  laptop two days ago 
    my model  of my leptop is lenovo  W520 (4276-37U) / i7-2720QM / Quadro 1000M and my os is win 7 pro 64
    and i want to share with  you the problem that i have  experienced as I tried to update my bios verision 
    the problem with the blue screen start Immediately when you begin the BIOS update and popup window going up
    After reading several articles I tried to solve the problem and thankfully I did it and I solved it ~!
    So if it happens to someone I suggest you read what I did to solved this problem :
    1) first go to your anti virus program and disable it  and turn it off . i have  norton internet security and i have neutralized all options  . (if you have a firewall that came with  the anti virus program turn it off )
    2) after this go to control panel --action center ---change user account control settings -  And put  it to the lowest level
     (never notify ) and click ok
    3) go to windows firewall and turn it off
    4) now locate the lenovo airbag protection utility  open it and go to Configuration tab and Uncheck  the box
      ( turn off)
    "enable active protection system "   and then click apply .
    all done now you can try update your bios Without getting a blue screen !
    Hope I helped them all and everyone who had this annoying problem
    thanks
    shayy

    Interesting. I've never performed any of the steps documented above and all of my BIOS updates (and updates via System Update) have been applied with no issues. Perhaps I'm just living dangerously?
    Several items, however, were omitted:
     Fully charged battery
     Connected to AC supply
     Not in a docking station
    These items have been true from day 1 of ThinkPads.

    Running `pacman -R` without the -n switch will leave all of your configuration files alone and just remove the package files. In this case it might be helpful to remove anything you can without removing packages from the "base" group, to minimize conflicts. After successfully upgrading the remaining packages, run `pacman -S <packages>` to (re)install the newest version of the packages you removed. At least it has worked for me to avoid package conflicts in the past; your mileage may vary. See removing packages and pacman tips.
    If all else fails, in theory you could run something like `pacman -r /mnt -R $(pacman -r /mnt -Q | cut -d ' ' -f 1)` from a live CD to remove all packages, then use pacstrap to reinstall them. Use this as a last resort and make a backup first!

    I upgraded to lion. I now have the spinning wheel on the startup screen when I try to enter my user name and password. I tried shutting down and restarting, no luck

    Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

    Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
    It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
    This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
    Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
    If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
    Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
    Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel.  This may take a while for a large library.
    Can you now see your photos again?
    If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad:            Re: iphoto crashed

  • I am having trouble switching to iCloud. I've upgrade my iPhone software to iOS5, but when I try to upgrade my Macbook software OS 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.2 it says I need "Core 2, Duo, Core i3, i5, i7, or Xeon processor. $$%^

    I need HELP switching to iCloud.  So many obstacles. . I've upgrade my iPhone software to iOS5 (now I have to get the software in my car upgraded because the iPHone won't play music through the system...another subject.) For iCloud on my Macbook, when I try to upgrade my Macbook software OS 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.2 (required for iCloud) it says I need "Core 2, Duo, Core i3, i5, i7, or Xeon processor.  Does this mean I need a new computer!!! I   2 Ghz Intel core duo is what I have (a 2006, really, macbook -- which I use with a large screen).  (How do I find the answer here?  -- any answers there would be SOOOO appreciated)  thank you!

    It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. You should not expect people to email you - this is an open forum.
    I'm afraid your Mac cannot be upgraded to Lion, and thus is not compliant with iCloud. The only option you have there is to set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email, but the other facilities won't work.

  • I tried to install a new hard drive using Snow Leopard to back up with Time Machine. When I installed the new HD I installed Leopard (10.5) on it and tried to use time machine to restore the backup I had made using 10.6. Kernel panic screen occurred.

    I backed up my system using 10.6 Snow Leopard's Time Machine to an external hard drive. I did this because I purchased a new internal hard drive to upgrade my 2007 White Macbook from 80GB to 320GB. When I installed the new hard drive, I installed 10.4 (Tiger) and then 10.5 (Leopard) and once Leopard was in I tried to use Time Machine to restore my backup from 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and received a kernal panic screen directly after the bootup.
    The screen had code asking for 10.6, so does this mean that the computer is searching for Snow Leopard? If so, how can I do this? Will a bootable drive with Snow Leopard on it be able to solve the issue or will I somehow need to find a way to wipe out this new hard drive?
    -Steve

    Booting From Snow Leopard Installer Disc
    1. Insert Snow Leopard Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    2. Restart the computer.
    3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
    Drive Preparation and Installation
    1. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting is complete quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.

    It's likely that the drive is malfunctioning or that there is an internal hardware fault, but to confirm, see below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
