Hi My sons eMac is still playing up - much to his annoyance. I have raised this problem on the group earlier, so pelase don't shoot me if you have already offered advice. He has the 1.25Ghz model, with 1GB of RAM and running Tiger.
It was fine for a while, then it started throwing kernel panics up after about 2 minutes of being turned on as well as just hanging. He has a managed account on it - he is only 6 - so I logged into my account and it did the same thing. I booted to DVD (well my iPod with the Tiger installer on it) and ran Disk Utility and it had some disk errors which I repaired. It all seemed ok for a day or so and then the problems started again. I checked Disk Utility and the disk errors were back. If I put my PowerBook into Target mode, could I boot the eMac from the hard drive in my PowerBook. Would this be a way of checking if the hard drive in the eMac was shot? It is not the stock hard drive - I removed the 40GB and put in a 7200RPM 80GB Seagate.
