Hello, I have a Tibook that crashed on me. So I was going to start fresh and reinstall 10.3. I went to install my upgrade copy of OS 10.3 and it said I couldn't because I already ran later version. I went back to my full copy of 10.2 and tried to install that (figured once I did that I could 'upgrade' to my 10.3 versions disc) and I keep getting a kernal panic when I try to start up from the 10.2 discs. Looked at the panic logs and it said I don't have Powerbook driver 3.5 installed. Which confused me to no end... so now I am stuck not being able to install anything... any thoughts? Oh yeah I no longer can find my restore cd's for the tibook. Alrady tried erasing the HD thought that mught solve the kernal panic.

thanks

If you have another Mac available, hook up your PowerBook via Firewire disk mode to the other Mac and install 10.2/3 to that drive that way.

Also, find your original CD's, or buy a new fresh copy of Panther if you can. It will be worth it.

If you try to boot from a copy of OS X that is older than your machine, you usually get that message. So, this depends on precisely which version of OS X came with your machine.
