Q: Powerbook G4 - Kernel Panic

Please help me.

My Powerbook G4 cannot find the harddrive and goes into Kernel Panic with a grey "no parking-sign" on the screen.

I´ve tried to reset vRam and pRam but with no luck.

Please help me.

Thank You

Best Regards, Jes

PowerBook G4 (12-inch 1.5 GHz), Mac OS 9.2.x

Kernel panics are usually hardware related, often caused by faulty RAM.
