My first time having to deal with this, I'd love some assistance.
I have an old 466MHz SE Graphite iBook (the clamshell one). I had 10.1.5 up on the machine and yesterday tried to upgrade to 10.2. The upgrade went through well apparently until time to reboot. Now it "kernel panics".
Following Apple's documentation, I've reset NVRAM & PRAM and tried to boot from the Mac OS X.2 install disc. When this happens, it boots to the gray apple, then I get video problems (once an overly bright screen wash, once lots of verticle gray lines) and a freeze. A soft restart is possible (Apple-ctrl-Power), so I've not reset the PMU.
I've tried to boot from a stray OS 9 boot disc (from my PowerMac g4, BTW). This time I only see a blank gray screen -- no happy Mac. Again a freeze/restart.
Lastly I've tried booting from the old X.1 upgrade disc: I get the happy Mac, spinning beach ball, then "Unresolved kernel trap". And the X.0.3 install disc: the same except this message instead: "The Installer has unexpectedly quit. (error 0) Press Return to restart" which fails to restart, then messages "kmod_destroy: ....etc. etc." Freeze/restart.
Any ideas? I'm out of 'em. Should I pull the hard drive?
Thank you for your help! Adam
