Hi! I am getiing continous kernel panics on my Quicksilver dual 800. My specs are as follows:

Powermac Dual 800
Mac OS 10.3.5
1 GB RAM
2 x 80 GB HDD's Connected to the G4 Motherboard
2 x 160 GB HDD's Connected to Acard PCI IDE Card
M-Audio Revolution with 1.2.9 drivers
Pioneer DVR-A06 DVD Writer
ATI Radeon 9800 Retail AGP Card
Generic USB 2.0 PCI Card
HP Laserjet 3030 connected to the USB Card

No idea, but have you repaired permissions?

[addiecool]

Yeah I tried repairing permissions, running disk utility to check for errors. nothing helped. I have removed my wacom drivers and also upgraded logitech drivers to see if they were the culprits. Also removed some unneeded softwares. i will post my results after a few hours

[Nacente]

And Apple Hardware Test?

[cpac]

I can't read kernal panics (hopefully somebody here who can will read yours) but in the meantime it might be worth disconnecting as many of your peripherals as possible, seeing if the problem is still around, and (if it's not) adding them back one at a time until you've isolated the cause...

Have you installed any new software?

[addiecool]

I did not install any new softwares. And the Apple Hardware Test CD? Well I cant seem to find it so cant do the test

Anyway after un-installing wacom drivers and upgrading logitech drivers things seem to be running fine now for 4 hrs. I am waiting to see if the problem returns.

Also I noticed that 4 out of the five times I was running DVDSP 3. It was building a DVD. Also I noticed that while DVDsP is running thw whole sytem slows down quite a bit. It becomes jerky as hell. DVDSP 3 seems to take up a lot of resources.

I'll get back with my reports

[Superchicken]

I think this update works great if installed straight from OS X.3.0, aside from that I think it's screwed.

[addiecool]

do you mean the 10.3.5 upgrade?

Did you also unplug the Wacom tablet? I had some difficulties with it... (well, at least that's what I thought, but now it appears it actually is the AirPort card driver and my new WPA networks that's causing my olde TiBook to kernel-crash on startup�)

What?

[Superchicken]

Scratch last comment, I've downgraded, or upgraded to X.3.3 deppending on how you look at it.

At least things are stable again. I'm gona wait till 3.6, either that or Tiger haha, but yah things are working again! It's enjoyable. But yeah it seems though Wacom tablets enjoy crashing my PowerBook on start up. But it seems soon after start up 70% of the time if the tablet is plugged in I get a KP, that said I've still gotten a few KPs now and again with 3.5, ultimately I'm down to the last update that felt good, and I shall stay here while I'm at school unless I hear from EVERYONE that 3.6 is working well.

I would recommend you download and run the 10.3.5 combo updater (88MB). That usually fixes problems like yours.

I installed 10.3.5 with the combo updater only. I found my Apple hardware Test CD and cheked with that. It showed that one of my Memory Dimms was bad. I replaced it. But still got KP's. I then unplugged my Wacom Tablet. Since then I have not had a KP since last 24 hrs. Lets see how long it holds.
