My home Mac has been running rock solid for months with only rare software crashes. My system is a DA with the following: OWC Dual 1.2GHz processor 1GB (2 matching 512MB sticks) Radeon 9600 pro with the pin traces cut Firmtek SATA card with 1TB (boot volume) and 500GB 120GB Seagate on main ata All drives have a bootable OS 10.5 install Running 10.5.8 (or whatever the latest is) with all updates.
This morning got the 4 language kernel panic message to restart. Restarted and all was well Came home and tried to start it up and it would not get very far. I have tried with one stick of ram (tried both) in various slots. I have pulled the pram and plug for a few minutes. Hit the cuda with pram in. None of the above helped. Here are the error messages and states that came up on restarts. There does not appear to be a pattern to how they pop up. They are almost in order of how they appeared. Separating each instance with a blank line. System Failure cpu=1 code 00000001 Corrupt stack Backtrace: Backtrace terminated Backtrace not mapped or invalid Bunch of text that ends with We are Hanging here. Includes a message saying invalid pmap. Echoing startup chime. Hear about 4 of them Grey Apple with no spinning daisy-hangs here for a couple of minutes. Four language You need to restart... On restart get a perpetual spinning daisy for a couple of minutes. Disconnect the STA drives to force ata drive to boot. get the following System Failure cpu=0 code 00000001 BSD Process corresponding to current thread kernel_task Panic CPU 0 (Caller 0x000DXE6C) System failure cpu=0 on restart- Grey Apple with no spinning daisy Reconnected SATA drives and hold option key to choose startup drive. See 2 of the 3 drives with a restart arrow on the left and an arrow to the right (for more drives). Mouse is a frozen watch (old OS 9 looking) and does not move. No keyboard response either.
