Power Mac G4: panic kernel (cpu caller…. Unable to find driver

[Ratters1971]

Hi there. I’ve booted my old power Mac g4 (owned since new) up and it has always worked. Until now.

I was copying some files from an external disk to another external disk when it crashed.

And it’s now showing the attached screen.

I’ve held the power button down and forced it to start the firmware where it asks you to type Mac-boot …. It then it fails also.

Any advice welcome.

Forced a reboot and pressed option and P and it solved itself. Not sure why.

It could be died stuff on CU and it might be over heating! You should lower iff off and get some silver past and cleaning stuff to cleaning of the very old stuff and after the clan use the Siler paste in small section then put all the stuff back and button it up and bot it 24 hours later and then it run better again!
