Hi All,
Have read nearly all the posting on Kernal Panic.
My iMac will not boot up keep getting the Kernal Panic message.
Have tried starting in Safe Mode - but stills refuses to boot
Tried booting with Install disc (Snow Leopard) pressing C while starting but will not read the disc.
Tried booting while pressing Alt key selecting disc, but will not boot from disc.
Reset PRAM but still doesn't help.
Have tried Hardware Test with orig Install Disc 1 Pressing D while booting up this time it reads and conducting the test shows no errors even with an extended test.
Also tried resetting RAM in slots -no joy
Also booted up in single user mode and did fsck -fy showing an error in the catalogue but cannot fix it.
Have a MacBook Pro which I am using now - can I somehow get into the iMac from this machine to work on the iMac??
Any ideas as to what else I can do to get the machine to boot from the disc to use disc utility, or do I need to take it into a shop?
Have done some of the above with help from Apple tel support and reading posts on this forum - but they have no more suggestions except take it to my nearest service shop.
thanks
