I’m so frustrated right now . I came home last night from work and was met w/ a kernel panic. I rebooted and it still happened. I then repaired permissions, repaired the disks, tested the RAM modules, unplugged all non-essential hardware, and did a safe boot and still got a kernel panic. No new software or hardware has been recently added to my machine.

I’m running Tiger OS on a PowerMac G4 (Mirrored Doors) DP1.25 w/ the lasted updates as of Nov 15, 2005. Any assistance would be well appreciated . The kernel panic I received was as follows…

Resetting files and devices
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00102164): jnl transaction too big (1044992 >= 1048064 bytes, bufsize 4096, tr 0x21cbfb0 bp 01e1cd770)

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

Presuming your machine came with an Apple Hardware Test CD or DVD, I'd give that try. Make sure you don't have a hardware fault.

Try booting from your OS install disc and running Disk Utility to verify & repair your HD to make sure you don't have any corrupted files. If your machine runs off the boot CD without crashing, then you may well need to reinstall the OS (try an Archive & Install first to preserve all your settings/apps/documents, etc).

I just went through troubleshooting a Quicksilver dual 1.0 this was happening to. Turned out the fan on the power supply had quit working, and the machine was overheating. You might check the CPU temp on that thing, and see if it's out of the normal range. (not that I know what the normal temp. range for those it-- it's just a thought)
