Kernal panic My G4 Quicksilver Mac Tower starts with a black screen and says "kernal panic" then freezes. I've tested each memory chip and reset the PRam. Someone told me to reset the VRam? Sometimes it starts and runs fine. When I try to install the OS (Tiger) again, it won't read the disc? Any ideas? Thanks Jeff

Hello,
To reset nvram,
Press "cmd alt O F" at startup
Then enter:
reset_nvram (press enter)
reset_all (press enter)
A kernel panic can come from a lot of things (peripherals, corrupted file, or damaged hard drive or memory). The best is to check in the log file what caused the kernel panic, or to proceed step by step, checking one thing after the other, until the problem is resolved.
