Re: Anybody's PB's crashing when removing CD/DVD drive?
Well, it sure does look like the obvious - your hardware (CD/DVD drive) is giving 10.3.4 conniptions. As in - something is not compatible - possibly a software influenced incompatibility. I'm also a Pismo owner and for you (even though you have been a bad boy), I will pop out my CD/DVD drive and test -- I've quit all apps including Classic, then popped the drive - oh, oh, a kernel panic restart. -- Logged into my clean user account (the one without all the crap installed) and no kernel panic on CD/DVD drive removal. -- OK --- logged out then logged back into my usual account. Popped drive and no kernel panic. -- Big ??? If you are getting the kernel panic EVERY time, as you say, then create a new user and see what happens in that account.
