I have a iMac Core Duo 20" 2.0 that did a kernel panic and I couldn't get it to boot any external drives I tried a 10.5 DVD installer and I could hear it spinning but the keyboard wasn't responding due to the dead ports. All the ports had no power but some times after trying to zap PRAM the Apple would come on and then back to the kernel panic it wouldn't chime and I got no lights on the keyboard. When I pressed the power button it would light up then fade away.

So I had to get this thing back on line fast so I replaced the logic board. Then someone told me it may have been the RAM. In the past a RAM issue seems to give some warning flashes to indicate the problem. Did I jump the gun here? Another funny thing is when I got it apart and got the HDD out to do a CCC for safety, the CCC failed every time I tried to get the copy. And yes I did put in another drive before I pulled the MOBO just in case but no change.
