Trying to boot from restore disc causes kernel panic error

Hi I am currently selling my MacBook Pro that is 6 months old. I wanted to pop in the restore disc today and format the drive and install Snow Leopard for the new owner. When I put in the  restore disc that came with the computer it begins the boot process(I can here it spinning up) but then I get a kernel panic error. I have tried testing the ram and putting in different ram but still get the same error every time. I haven't done anything to the hardware and have no issues with the dvd drive previously. I have confirmed this indeed the disc that was shipped with the computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Erasing disks securely 
Start up from your install disc, go to Disk Utility and select the disk and click erase - to securely erase data click Security Options and Erase Free Space which will entirely wipe your disk, overwriting it with zeros so that no data is recoverable.

  • Booting from DW4.0 CD = Kernel Panic on my iMac G5, but not my Desktop DPG5

    Hi,
    I am having a problem. Very strange.
    I tried to start up my iMac G5 using the internal SuperDrive booting from the Alsoft DiskWarrior CD that is the latest v4.0 and supposed to be compatible. Instead of booting, I get a panic screen. I photographed it if anyone could decipher it? Anyway, after 14 back and forth e-mails with Alsoft, the makers of Disk Warrior, and much extensive testing, we concluded...
    1) their DW4.0 Boot CD should work but doesn't on the iMac G5
    2) it's got to be the SuperDrive that is at fault.
    I was able to use the same CD in my desktop G5 computer. I was able to burn a copy of it and boot from the copy also in my Desktop Mac.
    When I try to boot from the iMac Superdrive - kernel panic and no go with all of these CDs.
    What do I do now? I've got AppleCare on this computer?
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks, and so long for now, TOM

    If you can boot your computer using the OS X disc, then then chances are your computer itself is fine (good news!).
    I'd lean on Alsoft a little more to send you a replacement. You have a defective product, and you have demonstrated that your computer's DVD drive is, in all likelihood, functioning properly. Call Alsoft, and if the assistant won't help you, ask to speak to someone senior, who hopefully knows their job a little better.
    If you are in the U.K., you can draw attention to The Sale of Goods Act 1979 section 48b subsection 2 "If the buyer requires the seller to repair or replace the goods, the seller must a) repair or, as the case may be, replace the goods within a reasonable time but without causing significant inconvenience to the buyer; b) bear any necessary costs in doing so..." (Source: Blackstone's statue book on Contract, Tort & Restitution).
    If not from the U.K., I'm sure a little digging will find something of similar use.

  • 1 HFS volume needs repair -- can't boot from OS X Tiger "kernel panic"

    I just searched the support discussions and did find an answer so hopefully someone can help me. Today I ran Disk Utility on both my G4 powerbook and G5 desktop. Both have Tiger 10.4.8 on them and have been running good. To my surprise both came back with a message saying:
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair.
    So I booted off my Tiger start up disk on the laptop first and went to utility and repair disk and all was good. The message came back that the volume was repaired.
    When I tried to do the same thing on my G5 desktop my computer went to a gray screen and gave an error of “kernel panic” with a page long message. I shut the computer down and rebooted normally and all was fine. I then went back to disk utility and clicked on Verify Disk again to see what it said and here is what I got:
    Verifying volume “MacOS250”
    Checking HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.
    Illegal name_
    Illegal name_
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking Catalog hierarchy.
    Checking Extended Attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    The volume MacOS250 needs to be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    So i noticed that under:
    Checking Catalog file.
    Illegal name_
    Illegal name_
    came back twice. I have no idea what this means. At this point I tried to boot from DiskWarrior and the computer just sat in a state of limbo for an hour or so. I know DW can take some time but 1 hour was pushing my patients so I shut it down and rebooted normally and all was fine again except I still get the message above. I then methodically backed up all my docs, movies, photos etc to my second hard drive. I tried to boot again from Tiger and got the same “kernel panic” message. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,

    Maverick922 Before you erase, you might want to try and run fsck first even though it says you are using HFS+
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Another reason is your version of disk utility on the Tiger disk might may not match the newer version of 10.4.8 My Tiger start-up disk utility is 10.5 while the OS X version on my HD is 10.5.6.
    The Finder along with other applications do not like you naming a file with a period in front of it. This turns it into a Unix dotfile and it then becomes hidden.Hence, illegal name.This may have been done by accident or with purpose.
    And a little more to read up on, http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    If these don't help, sherry johnson's suggestion is probably the next step.

  • Macbook Pro crashes while trying to boot from install disc

    I have a 2.6GHz 17" Intel C2D MacbookPro running 10.6.6
    Over the last few weeks I been experiencing numerous crashes, often while watching flash video. It freezes, the screen distorts and flashes and I have to reboot holding the power button.
    Most times I can't turn it back on, it just won't get past the boot up stage. I generally try and boot from the install disc and/or another computer via firewire target mode, run permissions, disc warrior etc and eventually it will boot on it's own accord.
    Now it won't even boot to the install disc. (the 10.5.2 disc that came with the computer)
    It just crashes, screen dims and the 4 language warning asks me to hold down the power button.
    I do notice that usually when you get these crashes that the background is a solid grey. but these times it's a speckled white and grey?
    Is my graphics card on the way out (or out already)
    Here's the crash logs from the last 2 crashes when I've got it to boot again.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Best regards
    Jesse

    Yes, thus the link to the NVIDIA issue. NVIDIA is the maker of the GPU ("video card").
    The quoted me $1000! I'm pretty bummed I need to spend that much on a 2 yr old machine. You should be able to expect more life than that.
    If you're content to pay the $1000, no need to ask them to run the test for the NVIDIA issue. If you're not content, I would certainly ask them. Provide the link if they're unaware of it.
    My only viable option is to buy the part off eBay and put it in myself.
    Or have them test for NVIDIA issue. Or ask about a depot repair for $310.

  • Booting from external device causes kernal panic

    I am suddenly unable to boot my first generation MacPro 1,1 from any external device. I have tried my Leopard install DVD, a USB thumb drive, and an external hard drive. All of these result in a Kernal Panic. I was able to boot into the hardware test from my original cd that came with the computer. The hardware test reported no problems.

  • Replaced hard drive, now can't boot from install disc to restore backup

    Yesterday, my hard drive died (disk warrior informed me, that HD had irrecoverable errors, and my iMac would shut down unless it was booted from the Disk Warriorr disc).
    Today, I have a new internal HD professionally installed. And when I brought it home, and installed Snow I got an error at the end of the installation "OS could not be installed, restart or choose start up disk" or something to that effect. However, on licking OK I got the snow music, and welcome movie nd eerything seemed to be working fine.
    I can log in normally and have get to my desktop, but on trying to boot from the Snow Leopard disk (10.6), I get to the gray screen with the apple logo and hang. I have tried resetting Pram/firmware and also ran the fdisk command (twice).
    It seems too much of a concidence that my hard drive and now my disc drive would die all in span of two days? I can hear the disc noise, but as I mentioned I cant get beyond the gray screen on trying to boot from the disc.
    Suggestions?
    Late Nov '07 intel iMac. And I did update the OS to 10.6.4. Install disc is 10.4.

    Return it to the repair station.

  • Mac Pro 2008 won't boot from install disc - black screen

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a new hard drive to replace the original that came with my Mac Pro 2008.  I was able to format the new drive using Disk Utility. I am now at the point where I need to install OS X onto the new drive, but the computer refuses to boot from the disc. The disc is recognized by the computer (I can access the disc and am able to use the BootCamp applications, etc.) but I just get a black screen when trying to boot directly from the disc. The computer boots fine otherwise.
    I have tried the following:
    I have tried using both the gray install disc that came with the computer and the Snow Leopard Install DVD disc.
    I have tried booting using the "C" key and the "option" key but still receive a black screen following the chime (I've held these down for several minutes).
    I have tried restarting from either install disc using the Bootcamp Assistant.
    I have tried running the installation software to get it to restart from the disc.
    I have tried a combination of the drives, i.e. trying to boot from the discs with just the new drive installed, just the original drive installed, and with both in bay1 and 2.
    Everything results in the computer starting up, hearing the chime, and then nothing..just black screen. I have the original drive partitioned with BootCamp with OSX Snow Leopard and Windows 7 installed (I don't know that that matters).
    I am at a loss as to what to try next. It doesn't seem like the superdrive because it is recognizing the disc, it just won't boot from it.
    Any help is appreciated, thank you.

    Clone should be a must  and easy to do and learn (learn by doing! 2)
    6800 would 'qualify' as 5x70 series flashed etc and same rule: 10.6.5
    In the past there was 10.4.6, 10.5.6, but not 10.6.6 - even though strong need for such a DVD.
    10.6.8 DVD would  be excellent
    Lion or ML - buy, download, make an installer flash card would be what I would do at this point.
    Then keep both - dual boot as you learn and test and see what ML does and waht you had that required Rosetta to support PowerPC. See www.roaringapps.com about that.
    With Carbon Coyp Cloner - was share, now commercial, great utility been around since 10.2.2 at least - this time 2003. 10 yrs.
    You can clone the system folders, you can even selectively choose. You can skip copy of most of your home account and do that separately to another drive if  you want.
    Clone Windows with Paragon or WinClone and use Windows 7 or 8 DVD to do a system repair (automatic) or to edit the BCD file. It can and should - and all you do is boot Windows 7 DVD w/ only the one drive present and go at it. Piece of cake. But yes, Windows gets fussy if you change or remove or move. BCD to the rescue. A proper program for cloning like Paragon's "Clone OS" meant for going from disk drives to SSDs, knows that and how to do it.
    Back to how to clone etc:
    Clone
    Disk utility has RESTORE which will also clone your system but not the Lion Recovery partition. Oddly  Apple did not 'endorse' making bootable clone of the system which works too but most choose Carbon Copy Cloner - it works more consistently; it allows for smart update of the backup volume. Both can backup to a sparse disk image if desired.

    The DVD is dependent on your hardware. And your hardware changed. The drivers for the 5780 and 6xxx are bundled in the OS and lacking. Minimum build thing.
    Put the new drive anywhere you want. Does not matter. Can move it later. Can be drive bay 0-3 or a Firewire external or under the DVD drive.
    When you clone pull the old drive and boot from the newly cloned.
    After that keep a backup clone around all the time. Takes less than 10 minutes to do a smart update to copy just the changes to keep it current. So you have working copy of the system. I keep Clone "A" that I keep "as was" the system as of last month or whatever (like 10.7.4 before upgrade to 7.5).
    Comes easier after doing it once and have all your ducks in a row.

  • Macbook Pro hangs when trying to boot from disc

    I'm attempting to reinstall OS 10.6, and normally it works just fine. However, I got this computer, it reads the Leopard disc just fine, I restart, hold down C and it just hangs out on the apple logo for hours on end and won't boot to disc.
    Any ideas?

    Spinning gear? Never in my mac years have I seen a spinning gear when booting from the disc.
    You should see what is variously described as a spinner, a spinning gear, or spinning clock appear below the Apple logo during startup any time you start up your Mac, whether from a DVD or HD. The spinner looks like a radial set of lines rotating in a clockwise direction, & indicates the kernel is loading, as described in Intel-based Mac: Startup sequence and error codes, symbols.
    Booting from the original snow leopard cd; I don't believe I possess the original restore disc anymore.
    In your first post & in your current profile info you indicate this is an MacBook Pro 17" Core i7 model; in your second post here the "Core i7" part is missing. This makes it hard to guess which 17" MBP model you are talking about. Note that each model has a minimum OS build version requirement & cannot start up from a lower version than that. Use the chart in Mac OS X versions (builds) included with Intel-based Macs to identify which version this is for your MBP & make sure your Snow Leopard DVD runs that version or later.
    For instance, if this is a Core i7 MBP, it must be a Mid 2010 model & requires at least version 10.6.3, build 10D2063a, 10D2094, or 10D2101a. An original Snow Leopard DVD has version 10.6 & will not work with it.

    So what you want is to be able to boot from OS X and retrieve your files

    "Recovery HD" is a partition on your boot drive which you option or commnad r key held at boot time to get into and then repair the Macintish HD partition.
    If you have this on a external USB thumb drive, then that's all it is, no OS X, programs or files.
    If your talking a USB external drive, it has to be a OS X bootable clone made with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and the option key held at boot time gives you that boot option.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    So what your saying is you have a external clone and by holding the option key down at boot all you get is it directly going to Recovery HD?
    There is no Startup Manager option to choose what to boot from?
    This could mean Apple changed something, or your external bootable clone isn't one, or the wrong software used so it's not being recognized by Startup Manager as a bootable option.
    What did you use to make the external OS X USB bootable drive?

  • G4 that will not boot from any disc EXCEPT the Apple Hardware Test CD

    We have a DP 1ghz Quicksilver PowerMac G4 that will not boot from any disc EXCEPT the Apple Hardware Test CD that came with the machine.
    We were in the process of installing 10.4 Tiger before placing it for sale.
    The Mac was originally OSX Server 10.1 that we later converted to a worksation running 10.3 Panther.
    It has 1 GB of memory, 80GB hardrive, 250MB Zip Drive and a Radeon 7500 video card.
    Since this machine only has a CD-R drive and not a DVD-R, we installed Tiger using another Mac via Target Disk Mode. The installation process went well, but when I tried to reboot I got a Kernel Panic right after startup screen with the grey Apple logo.
    On some reboots we get to the blue startup screen, others it stops at the grey Apple logo, others a black box like the a Kernel Panic - but with no text. Twice it went directly into Open Firmware.
    We have done the following during our troubleshooting:
    - Reseat RAM, Video Card, Hard Drive, Zip & CD-R connections
    - Remove RAM 1 stick at a time and reboot
    - Replace RAM with RAM from another working Quicksilver
    - Replace Video Card with one from another working Quicksilver
    - Zap PRAM
    - Reset CUDA switch
    - Unplug the MAC and remove everything (RAM, Battery, etc) for 30 minutes and try to reboot
    - Tried booting from the Macintosh Server G4 Software Restore CD
    - Tried booting from Mac OS X Server CD
    - Tried booting from AppleCare Protection Plan CD with TechTool
    - Tried booting from Diskwarrior CD
    - Tried booting from an external FireWire drive with a disk image of Tiger OS Install
    - Tried booting with the hard drive disconnected
    The Mac WILL boot from the Apple Hardware Test CD and will pass ALL of the extended tests.

    Conventional wisdom says that any Mac that will not boot up from a System/Install CD OS 9 or an Install CD Mac OS X, has a Hardware problem.
    The diagnostic CD is a red herring because it uses a very primitive method of reading the CD, and so does not properly represent the machines general ability to read CDs.
    I would look at the CD drive cables, etc, and see if another drive gives different results.
    You have not mentioned using the Startup Manager (option key at Startup) to do any checking:

  • G5 freezes on boot up, won't boot from startup disc- freezes

    Hello,
    I'm looking for any clues as to what has apparently killed my much beloved G5. I was converting a very large video file and maxing out my RAM when computer froze and would not restart. I then did a very dumb thing and tried to start it up from my old Panther install disc b/c I couldn't locate my Tiger install disc. (I know- STUPID!)
    Anyhow, Panther tried to fix the problem but was unable. I later located my Tiger disc and tried to boot from it but computer still froze about 1/2 way through the boot up process. If I let the computer sit for about 24 hours and try the install disc again, it gets further along in the boot up process but has never successfully completed a "repair disc" command without freezing up shortly after beginning. If I continue to try the install disc it freezes up earlier and earlier in the process.
    Took my baby to the local Apple Store and after over a week in the shop, they explained that they didn't know what was causing the problem. (Although they still took my money for the 'diagnostic fee'. <g>) The logic board, the processor and the HD all passed the Apple diagnostic tests(ASD) but the unit still froze up during boot up. The tried replacing each part (MLB, CPU, HD) individually but unit still froze. The only way they were able to successfully boot up was when they replaced ALL 3 parts... about a $1,500 repair. They couldn't explain why this was the case, it was just the only thing that worked.
    I did notice in the "repair" notes that when they replaced the processor the unit netbooted past the usual spot were it was freezing and worked but then in my OS it froze during the screen saver. They also noted that it failed the thermal calibration test the first time through but calibrated on the second try. Don't know if this infomation is of any use...
    Does anyone have any idea what could possibly cause this? Why would the MLB, CPU, & HD each pass the ASD tests but still not allow boot up?? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
    Bummer about your machine. I have heard of service facilities using what we call "the shotgun approach" when repairing a G5. I am not convinced it is necessary.
    The cheapest, easiest, and potentially good investment fix is to add a second internal hard drive and try to set that up as your boot drive. If it still doesn't work, you have a spare drive that you might be able to use again with another machine.
    G5 repairs do tend to be very expensive. You an also try another service facility for a second opinion.

  • Booting from Install disc Stalls at strange Mouse & Batteries Screen

    Any thoughts/suggestions/answers would be greatly appreciated...
    I have my hands on a friends iBook G4 purchased in April 2006. They were having problems with it and decided to wipe the drive and re-install the OS etc.
    They got it wiped but could not get thru the installation process due to errors. They assumed it was a scratched install disc, and gave it to me to fix.
    Upon receipt, I put in my Tiger (retail, not computer specific version) disc and booted via holding down the 'C' key. Got thru the first grey screen, then thru the grey screen with the grey Apple logo on it, and then up pops a screen I've never seen before; and the process stalls here.
    This screen looks like two outline images of the Mighty Mouse from its underbelly. Image one is showing you where to install the batteries, and image two is showing you where to turn it on. And on image two, where the laser is, it's flashing red.
    Here's a picture of it @ http://adairnet.com/ss-mac-install-stall-screen.jpg
    I couldn't get past this screen so I booted it in Firewire Target Disk Mode into my other computer and used Disk Utility to fully wipe the drive (thinking there may have been some odd file on it causing this issue). That didn't help; when I booted from the Tiger disc again, I stalled at the same spot.
    Then I discovered a way past it - it was only by plugging in an old single-button USB clear Apple mouse into the USB port, that caused that screen to go away and proceed to the Tiger installation screen.
    I tried this several times, and consistenly, the screen would always come up if no mouse was plugged in, but as soon as I plugged the mouse in, immediately it went away and continued on as normal.
    I was able to complete the installation process and everything seems to be working as it should now. I'm just dying to know what this screen was for and why it came up.
    Other things to note - even after I have a successful/working OS on the iBook, if I try to boot from any disc containing an OS, I get this same screen/situation.
    I did discover the reason the initial install failed was due to bad RAM, which I've replaced and checked and is working fine now.
    I've also checked the system with TechTool Protege and found no errors.
    Also note that the iBook owner never uses any external or wireless mouse - just the trackpad, and has never experienced any issues with it.
    And lastly, to let you know, I did reset/zap the PRAM, did the Open-Firmware resettings, and reset the battery/power-management too without any affect.
    Could it be a faulty (or soon to go out) trackpad, disc drive, or USB port? Or something else? Any thoughts?
    After searching over 30 pages of search results here, I found a few more posts with similar issues, but as of today (1/2/07), none were resolved...

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3394741
    TIA!

    i actually had this same issue and called and talked to tech support about it, they transferred me to a product specialist and told me the reason it would do this is the install disk is most likely not the original one that came with the computer
    he said that if the install disk is different, it may not recognize the specific trackpad the unit is running since it could be a different build, and will than assume that the computer is using an external mouse. If it than doesnt register the external mouse, it will assume that the mouse just doesnt have any battery power.
    it makes sense to me, i also was able to bypass the "error" by using an external USB mouse, and i know my install disks were just the family pack that came from the apple store, so i can only assume thats what could be going on.

  • Airport causing kernel panics and kp in safe boot.

    Last week I got my first kernel panic in years. It happened while I was asleep and checking an extrenal drive for bad blocks with TechTool. It turns out that the drive indeed had bad blocks and found that the cpu was shut down when I awoke. I started up the computer and it wasn't able to stay on for more than 10 min max before the next kernel panic. I checked here for more advice on kernel panics and started to try to narrow the number of culprits. Everything was unplugged and still kp. Instaled a new drive with a week older system from Time Machine and still kp. Reset NVRAM and replaced pyhsical RAM and still kp. Removed the Airport Extreme card and still kp. Booted into Safe Mode after all of the previously mentioned and still kp. I'm now going to take the drive and swap it into another body that I have to see if the root is actually on the drive on the physical hardware of the cpu.
    I was interested in this thread and read all of the links that jpl posted. Airport causing Kernel Panic (?) Jason then replied that it had been solved due to a "permissions problem" I wish he gave more info on what exactly he did to resolve the problem as it's been almost a week now without any work being done for me.
    I've also noticed this very strange behavior that might shed some light onto the issue. When I open System Prefs and close the window there is a strange colored pattern that will always flash after the window has been closed. I tried to post it to my me page but for somereason it wouldn't play for me so there's that and the YouTube version too.

    In addition when the computer has started up and the system loads. Checking Activity Monitor shows that there are 50 or more threads active for the the kernel_task. Inspecting this doesn't seem to show any useful information.
    Finally here are a few of the recent crashes I hope that someone might be able to shed some light on this extremely frustrating problem for me.

    My vision is pretty poor, still cant see it, but...
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • 2007 iMac won't boot from startup disc

    My brother passed away and I inherited his Mid 2007 iMac. Works fine, but all accounts are still in his name and I do not have his passwords. Trying to wipe the hard drive and do a clean start, but unable to boot from startup disc. It was purchased with Snow Leopard, but has been updated to Lion 10.8.3. It appears that there may be a security feature that rejects any attempt to boot from startup disc. Is there another way to wipe hard drive and start clean?

    Sorry for your loss ...
    The original startup disc will not work on a Mac running v10.8.3.
    The fact that you do not have the admin password is a problem because you will need it to repair the startup or restore OS X using OS X Recovery
