I had two kernel panics yesterday (both related to dial-up *yet again*, and both reported the same information as preceding kernel panics). The one was spectacular in what it did to the display. Here's what I posted to Apple's discussion forum & it describes the second of the k.p.s (the first happened when I had the modem disconnected from phone line but computer kept trying to dialout. After 20 mins or so, k.p.):
I was on the web (but I suspect it was a flakey connection b/c things were transferring slowly) and I command-tabbed between Chimera and Outlook Express Classic. What happened was everything froze solid and ever so slowly the Classic app appeared in view (over-writing the aqua interface ever so slowly). Then, what seemed like "burn" happened (at first I thought I was watching my LCD die) and parts of the screen started going dark and the colours cycled ever so slowly. I think pixels were still changing (i.e. not just colour but also underlying OS X vs Classic). I had to do a three finger salute and when the machine booted back up a kernel panic had been recorded (I'll post it below). Can anyone help? Does anyone know anything about this? Is this a hardware issue and should I take my Pismo (PowerBook G3 Firewire) to an Apple service center (it's still under extended warrantee)? Or, is this an OS X modem dial-up thing? -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
