My 1 GHz eMac froze today and can't be restarted -- every time I restart, it shows a kernel panic almost immediately (no startup sounds). The top of the screen reads: <panic (ch 0): Unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerMac 4,4">
It sounds like a hardware problem. Three days ago I replaced the original 128 MB RAM card with a 512 MB card. The eMac worked well with this 512 MB card for those three days. I tried to fix the kernel panic by restoring the original 128-MB card, but it didn't help. This eMac is the USB 1.1 model, the earlier of the two 1-GHz models that Apple made; it's not the USB 2.0 model (paired with the 1.42-MHz version) which may be subject to faulty capacitors, according to another thread on this list.
