Hi all.

After a kernel panic, I can not start up rightly my 17" Al PowerBook. Just after the APPLE logo, kernel panic. I have tried all sort of things with NO LUCK, that includes remove the RAM modules, reset PRAM, boot from cd, safe and verbose mode, PowerBook as FireWire Target Disk Mode (that even produces a kernel in the attached Mac !!)...

I have no idea what is going wrong

Any clue?

Thanks in advance.

Im no expert but if you have tried to repair the OS by booting off the CD and you cant fix it that way i would suggest its a hardware fault. I would phone Apple care asap and maybe pop along to an Apple Store to see what they say. sounds like you have a very broken PB there.

Thanks, dodo, I fear that (hard fault)
