While this may not be a lot of help, I was told by--I believe it was
Bruce Johnson--that kernel panics are induced by hardware issues not
by software issues. Anything changed recently hardware-wise? I had
a B&W that was giving me panics intermittently at first, then after a
few months it became consistent. It was the Rev 1 board's IDE
controller, best as I could determine. I know yours is a QS, so it
could be a different issue. But look to your hardware. HTH

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?
