hi. my old new power mac G4 (AGP, with Tiger, 512 Mb RAM) crashed, i.e safari stopped working, and when im restarting the computer it shows this message:
http://db.cs.helsinki.fi/~cbjorksk/i...ash_report.jpg
and does nothing else.
i recently added a third harddrive, replacing the zipdrive, but it worked fine so i dont think it has something to do with that.
could it be a virus or something?
or what?
i don't know.
I guess i could reinstall Tiger, but i'd like to know what the problem is.

No, it's not a virus, it's an old fashion unbuffered kernel panic. Your installation of Tiger looks like it's FUBAR. You could try Disk Warrior (a good idea in general), but in this case I would instead recommend doing an Archive and Install to reinstall the OS.

Hi just wanted to tell you guys that the problem was caused by a memory that was corrupted
it was a 256 Mb Kingston memor so ill get a new from it's lifetime warranty
I tried to reinstall Tiger, but it complained about writing error, so the i removed one memory stick at a time to see which one was corrupted. and when i removed the 256 kingston memoy everything was ok.
so now i'm happy again.
the os x experience has not been damaged by this.
i got all my settings back because i installed (clean) it on another drive an imorted my settings from "another partition" that is the orhter drive.
i also made a RAID system with the two other 10GB drives (for ducuments etc., called it Covenant because 2 became one) and put the system on the 40GB drive
