When I decided to reinstall 9,I erased the disk with 10.3 on
it and installed 9.0. That was the only way I could get 9.0 back. 9.0
was successfully installed.Then I tried to install 10.3
unsucessfully. The error occurred when I rebooted after "installing
" or trying to install 10.3.
It doesn't matter if I put 10.3 or 9.1 in,I still get the
panic error. I never get to the option of erasing a disc or
installing 9.
