'New' HD problems
Needless to say, the 60GB disk does not show up on the desktop, but the kernel panic messages always say something about the ATA controller. I'm wondering if one of the buses is shot. I tried booting from an old Jaguar disc (can't find the one for Tiger at the moment) and it kernel panics as soon as I do anything that might constitute input (move the mouse, type) and a Panther disc gets into Disk Utility and sees nothing at all, as does the Quicksilver 10.1 disc. OS 9 bombs, but doesn't say what crashed.
PM G4 QuickSilver, 867MHz, Mac OS X (10.4.3), 120GB Maxtor HD, 640MB RAM
