So far i've counted 5 in the past 2 days...

first time was random, downloading a file from camino to my desktop.

so i decided to reformat my mac. Now, every time during the update i get that kernel panic all the time (i've re installed mac os 5 times now, each one with a kernel panic during the update). Oh i forgot to mention, it only happens when the update is optimizing OSX...

is there any way i could tell whats wrong with my computer?

[EDIT]

Specs:

800MHz PowerPC G4

512MB DDR266 (upgraded from the standard 256)

30GB Hard drive <- what i suspect is the problem

Airport Extreme (i added this)

purchased in april 04. also purchased extended applecare warranty with it.

[/EDIT]

Apple Diagnostic cd says theres nothing wrong... with anything

edit: its not the memory, i just ran an extended apple hardware test... memory passed, and i've had that memory in there since the second week i had the iBook... no problems until now, when the hdd started clanking, now it clicks if i touch the case (tap where the hdd is hear 3 small clicks)

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”

      Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
