new install of ssd on g5 booting kernel attack

[eyeleica]

I have a Samsung SATA II ssd and used Super Duper to ghost os x 10.8.5 onto the ssd. At boot up with the SSD I get kernel attacks. When I remove the SSD and boot from the old hard drive, all is well. I really don't know how to read the information on the page that appears with the kernel attack.
Any suggestions?

Are you trying to boot it on the G5? 10.8.5 Mountain Lion won't run on the G5, as it's an Intel-only OS. The last version of Mac OS X that'll run on the G5 is 10.5.8 Leopard.

Or did you mean 10.5.8, and get the numbers mixed up?

If I were you I'd look in to doing a clean install of OSX leopard on the SSD, sometimes things can go a bit funny when you clone an OS to an SSD.

Sorry, I did get the numbers wrong. Installing on os x 10.5.8.
I am atm doing a clean install of leopard on the ssd to see how it goes.
Thanks,

How do you access the Panic Logs if the system won't boot? I've read that panic logs are in HD >Library > Panic logs.
If the OS won't boot but goes into panic mode, how can you access the panic logs?

This is confusing. Did it start to boot and then panic or did the system refuse to boot? You can take a picture of the KP screen and post it here so we can see where the panic happened or just try booting up in verbose mode (Cmd+V at the chime until the Apple logo appears) and see where exactly the boot process halted.

Holding down cmd+v til apple log and kernel attack info appears, here is some I think might be pertinent:

Unresolved kernel trap (cpu0)
Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies): com.apple.driver. Apple PMIC (1.5.3)
dependency: com.apple.iokit.10PC Family
panic (cpu 0 caller 0xFFFF0004)

hope this helps

Try holding cmd-s on boot for single user mode, then

/sbin/fsck -fy

Once the file system check finishes, type ‘exit’ and see if it boots from there.

You could also try booting into safe mode by holding the shift key.

[doublepost=1510962243][/doublepost]Neither the cmd-s nor safe mode changes anything. The message needing to restart the computer
and the page of panic attack appears.

I wonder if this has to do with the fussiness of G5s and SSDs...

Maybe try the other drive bay...?

thanks for the link
thought i was onto something because my ssd is a samsung 840 Evo and though I had tried the lower b ay, I tried it again but the same result.

Has anyone been successful putting a ssd drive in a g5?

I had a KingSpec 256GB mSATA SSD installed and running beautifully in my late ‘05 Dual Core G5 (it was in lower bay).

I have since moved that SSD into an iMac late 2009 as it’s HDD died, but the SSD ran fast and fault-free in the G5 under both Leopard and Tiger.
