Ok folks, I'm up a certain creek without a certain implement.
Last week the display failed on my PowerBook G4 - for the third time. No matter, I have my Power Mac.....
....Or maybe I don't. This week, my Digital Audio G4 started to KP often and seemingly at random. Today the machine has become unusable...it won't even boot every time, it KPs at the login screen. Several times it happened while trying to run a VIDEO_TS folder. A few times it happened using Sherlock. Other times while running Firefox, and still others happened while the machine was idle...I've done all sorts of cleaning and repairing of disks and I'm sure it must be a hardware failure.
I've copied the crash log below. It seems the failure may be related to my SATA controller, which is an SIIG product...can anyone more versed in this confirm it for me?
I've got some deadlines coming up and unless I can get this fixed today I'm going to have to get a new machine - but a new SATA controller is an easy fix if that is the problem...any and all help is warmly appreciated.
