There was a time (Tue, Sep 14, 2004 at 2:33 PM) when John C. Swanson said this thing:

I don't think I have any drive diagnostics to run other than that provided by Disk Warrior. I started with installing Jaguar on another partition as a clean install. It went through okay but in trying to install the Developer Tools, I had 3 kernel panics. I also tried three times to upgrade that install to Panther and each time received a message saying an error occurred during installation and I had to restart. Very discouraging. Restarting without the Panther install disk (I'm assuming it was trying to use the most recent install described above as the startup disk) brought on more kernel panics, until I used the command-option-shift- delete key combo to restart from my other, original startup disk. So I keep coming back to the same question: hardware or OS problems? Should I try installing the most recent security update? I'm about ready to buy two 256 MB PC100 RAM to get me going again--if that will indeed get me going again. Vendors and brand suggestions are welcome. Another question: is it possible for me to delete OS files on my original Startup disk (Panther) so I can install Jaguar and then upgrade to Panther or am I just asking for more trouble as if I didn't have enough already?
