Hey guys,

So i got a 1GB RAM module for my newly acquired iBook and i wanted to go ahead and install Leopard, so i popped in the disk and booted but it kernel panic'd. This time i booted the disk again but in verbose boot, and the panic seems to be a bootcache error? I may be wrong but heres the first few lines of the panic:

Bootcache: Cache size (135397376 bytes) to large for physical memory (268435456 Bytes)

Unresolved Kernel trap(cpu 0): 0x300.....

The boot cache thing seems to have me thinking its the RAM? Perhaps the 1GB Module isnt working and as a result the system still thinks there's just the built in ram? (hence the "too large for....")

Any information is appreciated :)

Note:
This is an iBook G4 with a 1.2GHz PowerPC G4 Processor.
