I zapped the PRAM already. It goes like this. I turn it on, the
Apple logo shows up. The grey wheel spins until the Mac OS X window
with a light blue Apple ahows up and says "Loading Mac OS X" and
after the window disappears or is done loading, the screen turns a
darker shade of blue and it says "you newed to restart you computer"
in like 5 different languages with a giant restart button in the
background.
Ok. See, that's important information. You got past the spinning
gear - so the OS is loading and it's happy with the hardware,
including the first DIMM. You got past the full load of the kernel
and Aqua too. Once that progress dialog goes away, the login process
starts. At that point, various daemons are finishing their init and
some memory is getting chewed up. If you've got it set to
auto-login, then your user's login items are also starting to run.
That it panics at that point would indicate a memory problem, most likely.
But again, as I posted before -- the details are in the system and
panic logs. Look at them.
