Boot the installer CD/DVD and go to Disk Utility up in the menu bar and run "Repair Disk" and "Repair Permissions". If these check out ok, and it won't boot or still panics during the boot process, I'd suggest reformatting the partition or HD and reinstalling again. If it reinstalls normally, and then panics identically, it could be the install CD/DVD is machine specific and not made for your model Mac? The fact that the disc boots and installs would make this not so likely, so I believe it's something else. If you have to erase/ repartition, I'd "zero all data" and then format HFS+ journalled and reinstall. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
