Hey all i bought a lot of ibooks and need help finding out what the problem is. I know alot about clamshells but not anything about other ibooks. so if anyone can tell me what the heck is going on i'd greatly appreciate it. Ok, well when i went to install an os it went fine, and after it was done it went to reset and froze, so i held down the power button and it turned off and i turned it back on, and the screen came up blank (picture) and then i waited and got frustrated and just turned it off and came back to it and turned it back on to take some pics of and sell but this screen came up (picture) anyone know what the heck is going on? any and all help is greatly apreciated. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

It's a kernel panic (OS crash). Check your RAM - try re-seating it or swapping the modules around. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the OS, on a different drive if possible...
i don't have another drive, i took out the ram and still the panic came up anything else i can try?
This may or may not work but boot into Open Firmware Mode
