I have post it in OS9 but I have been told to have a go with the guys of OSX.
This morning when I start up my Mac Pressin X key to get to OSX instead of OS9 , that is the one that I usually use, it got blocked with this message:
panic(cpu0):Unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerMac3,5"
....
.... (some lines with numbers and mentioning Kernell)
....
panic:we are hanging here.

Now this is what appears everytime I reboot it, any clue , how to solve it?

Thanks and Happy NewYear.

I don't know an easy way to fix your problem, but I suggest that you re-install Mac OS X- that *should* fix it.

Did you add any device/card to your Mac? if so, try to disconnect them... Otherwise a reinstall of OS X should fix the issue...
