Hi all,
A while ago, I started getting kernel panics with my QuickSilver Power Mac G4. Now, I get the prohibitory icon on startup. I tried booting off an iBook G4's hard drive with the iBook in target mode with the same result. I then tried booting the iBook off the Power Mac's hard drive with the Power Mac in target mode and met with success. I am currently backing up the Power Mac's files to the iBook using the ditto command.
Where should I start trouble shooting? The only external peripherals I have besides my Acer monitor are a Goldtouch KeyOvation keyboard, a Microsoft mouse, but unplugging them has no effect.
I can try removing one of the two memory sticks or disconnecting the optical drive once the backup is complete and booting up the Power Mac on its own.
Thanks!
