Kernal Panic upon boot of Tiger on PPC MacMini.
This Mini has the last PPC supported build of OSX (X.4.11).
Upon boot, machine reports Kernal Panic to wit: "cpu0: unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerMac 10,2"."
*Here is what I have attempted thus far:*
*Everything disconnected except monitor. Still results in Kernal Panic.
*Apple Hardware Test (Extended Test.) All tests passed.
*Zapped Pram.
*Attempted Safe Boot (holding shift.) Never booted, Kernal Panic.
*Attempted fsck (CMD+S). Still Kernal Panic.
*First disk repair (via OSX install disk) failed. Numerous errors reported. But...
*Disk Warrior: Rebuilt Directory structures, ran file scan&hardware scan. Reported numerous errors and subsequently successful repairs.
*Second attempt at Disk Util Disk Repair successful. HFS volume reported as ok. Permissions Repair also successful. Still gets Kernal Panic prior to full boot.
I Can boot The Mini into Firewire Target Mode and access volume via my glorious new MacBook Pro.
Any other ideas/suggestions? I'd like repair rather than re-install if you get my drift.
