octopussy1972 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hi folks, been a while since Ive been on here. I recently purchased a G4 Powermac MDD Dual 1Ghz 2002 machine. It had no harddrive in the systems so I used the 80Gb out of my very old G3 B/W 450. Put it in the machine and started to do a install of Tiger. I got a kernel panic. After many attempts to reinstall still the same problem. I have replaced the memory, Graphics Card, HDD leads, removed the dvd drive and replaced it with another, used a usb dvd drive. I eventually put the hard drive back into the G3 and booted from panther, did a complete 8 pass format and then returned to the G4, I managed to install panther without a kernel panic, then up dates system software.. no problem After about 3 hours, kernel panic again.. Trying to find a hardware test disk and can't find one anywhere. Could this be a logic board problem? or would anyone have any ideas on what to try next? Any advice would be great or where I can get a g4 powermac hardware test disk from. Thanks people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
