[Ti] Kernal Panics

[David]

Paul,

Thanks for the great advice. I'm in a similar pickle. Over the last 
week, I've started getting kernal panics, the first since getting the 
powerbook in December. Today I had three alone (2 under 10.2.4, one 
under 10.2.6). Things start up fine. All happened as the powerbook was 
running a while, and out of the clear blue, panicked.

panic.log says they are "unresolved kernel trap" usually followed by 
0x300, once by 0x700. I suspect it's because I have not been practicing 
safe computing (using a lot of betas and software from suspicious 
sources.)

Looks like I'm going to have to erase the drive, reinstall OS X and 
apps, and restore my documents. If anyone has something better to try, 
let me know.

Another problem, about 2 weeks ago I tried to reboot into OS 9 and it 
said it could find a bootable system folder. Reinstalled OS-X, twice 
(!). At this point, I'm hesitant to try booting into OS 9 again.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Dave Schlicher
