Help Please

The one thing I would try is, in the Utilities folder, using Disk Utility. Verify and Repair Permissions ok both the hard drive itself, and the part (that it considers) your operating system is on. Then Restart your computer. Sometimes, Repairing Permissions helps. It's worth a shot. Wish I could help you more though - I'm not a Kernel Panic expert. Good luck at any rate.

 

To be able to help you need to give more details such as the kernel panic report from your console application.

Cheers

 

Also - check the SMART status of the HDD (- This is to be found in System Profiler) if its new enough (Depends on which PowerBook G4 you have - for instance its present on my late-generation one, not so sure about earlier models though)
