G4 Quicksilver running OS 10.3.9. Every few startups this Mac goes
neurotic and I get the green kernel panic screen with the "You must
restart your Mac" message. Restarting from that nearly always results
in a normal startup, and I am not noticing any problems during use. So
what's going on?
I have repeatedly repaired permissions and done the fsck -fy thing, and
get reports that all is normal. There are three internal and three
external drives connected to this Mac, and I have run Disk Utility
repairs on all of them. Remembering the OS-9 days of dumping prefs, I
also threw out the finder.plist. and restarted.
Nevertheless, every few startups, I still get that kernal panic screen:
"You must restart your Mac."
I'm thinking now about an Archive and Install. Would that be a good
idea?
Or, does anyone have any other ideas how I can cure this neurotic
computer of its panic attacks on startup?
Any help much appreciated,
Tom
