My pismo has just got back from being repaired. They had put a new HD in, and installed OS 9.2. So I dig out my old copies of MacOS X, and painstakingly install 10.0. Then I upgrade to 10.1. Then I'm in the middle of upgrading to 10.2 when a problem happens.

I leave the machine installing, and come back a bit later to find a kernal panic splashed over the happy mac. Having a happy mac is a bit strange, because it was only on CD 1 and if I'm not mistaken it should have asked for CD 2 before rebooting. Anyway, this kernal panic appears each time I boot, whether it's off a CD or the hard disk.

I've not tried booting from a 9 disk, I will when I find one. If I hold the option key down, I get the disk select screen, but as soon as I select the disk the same thing happens.

Any help? I think I'm just going to persuade the insurance company to buy me a new 12" powerbook if this isn't easily fixable...

What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.
