Q: Can someone help me diagnose this problem with ibook g4?
I have an ibook g4, and I purchased it a couple of months ago. I'm currently running Mac OS X Tiger. I've upgraded the machine to it's maximum ram and hard drive. It's worked well for a couple of months. But, within the last month I've been getting kernel panics. During, that time I went into Disk Utility and it found a HFS format problem. I fixed that with original install discs and I also ran the Apple Hardware Test. After, that everything seemed fine. But, I'm still getting kernel panics. (6 or 7 times booting up with kp's and then it goes into Mac OS X.) I've also checked Disk Utility again. It says the HFS volume is ok. I don't know what the issue is ... It's either the hard drive or airport card? Can someone help diagnose the issue with my ibook g4? I've also included the panic's code from the Console application.
