[QUOTE="zahadum, post: 194941"] [b]ram errors vs bad installer -> disk errors?[/b] yes, it does seem strange that a mem err should produce a side-ffect like a disk error! disk util can not repair this msg - "reserved fields in the catalog record have incorrect data". on the other hand, i cant understand how a defective installer (disk) could possibly effect any system files that would work OK with one set of mem chips but suddenly not work OK for other ram chips!? ... only way i can imagine this idea is if there are special logical addresses that the kernel uses that suddenly get 'touched' when the physical location of that address is (re)mapped - is that what a good service tech told you? .... and btw: the installer extensively checks the media, so how is it even possible that the dvd installer could have ever made a corruption/mistake in the first place? note: hw disagnostic reports same err msg as this fellow had with his 1GB part ... the kernel panic msg reports 'invalid memory access' -- %SRR0: (various addresses - eg 000768a8) %SRR1: 00003030 config: 10.4.5 (errs only occured after the upgrade from 10.4.4) on a ppc MINI with 1GB ram [/QUOTE]
