[Ti] powerbook crashing

[Kynan Shook]

What do you see in the file /Library/Logs/panic.log?  Especially if  
you find anything labeled "kernel loadable modules in backtrace...",  
the following lines can show you what part of the system caused the  
panic.  The suggestion of bad RAM is possible (see the rant in my  
previous message today), though I've also seen bad hard drives cause  
panics, though it's quite rare, compared to other causes.

So, let us know if you find anything helpful in there - or post some  
of the log to the list.  The most important lines are anything  
starting "com." in the kernel loadable modules section, and the first  
line which will list a rather vague cause (usually "data access", in  
my experience).  You can cut out all the register values (anything  
0x...), because those aren't usually useful for finding the root cause.
