Kernal Panics

[Keith Parker]

Gerry,

This may or may not help but it took me a year to figure out.  I added 
a 128 mb ram stick to my 800Mhz iBook dual USB about a year ago, and 
started getting kernel panics but it took time (2 weeks - 2 months) 
after going to "sleep".  I was using a "PNY" memory 133 MhZ DIMM, it 
turns out that the  faster iBook's are VERY sensitive to correct 
memory. I had to complain to  the New Jersey BBB (Parsippany NJ) to get 
attention and get the right memory module. If you have AppleCare, boot 
from the "TechTools" CD and run the memory tests (press CNTL L) to loop 
the tests overnight !
