Hi,
I get something equivalent to the windows blue screen of death on 10.2.6--the "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button" halt. I got it for the first time when in the Printing utility I selected Apple Talk. Now on bootup, after the Welcome screen, the system halts with the same screen. Once this halt happened on the Loading Apple Talk moment, once just before it, and the last two times right at Welcome to Macintosh. Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions? Is there some way to "safe boot" to disable Apple Talk?
Thanks!
Anthony

i get the halt on bootup. in the kernel panic screen, there were six hex pairs. The first time the crash happened, they looked like a mac address. Now, they're just FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

Try holding down the shift key.

Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

I was able to boot with Safe Mode, which strongly suggested to me that neworking was causing problems.
I wasn't able to modify airport settings in safemode, so i restarted again. the pb halted once again, so I decided to turn off the Linksys BEFW11S4 V.2 access point and try booting again.
The pb didn't halt this time. i went into AppleTalk settings under Airport, and disabled AppleTalk. I turned on the AP and was able to get on the network. I restarted without the halt.
I'm not sure why 10.2.6 kernel panicks when AppleTalk is enabled with this AP. I wonder if anyone has had problems like this? I haven't verified this problem by restarting AppleTalk after all the power ups and downs I had to do.
