RE: emac with kernel panic?
The 1.25 eMacs were known to have bad capacitors on the Logic board. I had the self same problem with mine and ended cannibalising it for parts and spares for my other eMacs. Short of replacing the logic board or the capacitors (you really dont want to try either. I have and its a nightmare), the machine sounds to me like a dead one. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

IOMEGA HD 320GB
Greetings! Intel iMac -- X 10.6.2 -- HP printers, etc. I have several external HDs (all are USB connected) including an IOMEGA 320 GB. The 320GB power unit died (loose plug-in prongs) and IOMEGA sent me a new power unit. When I re-connect the HD, it is not recognized on the desktop. 'Disk Utility' can't find it; neither can 'Disk Warrior', TechTool Pro', 'Drive Genius' or anything else I can think of. Restart doesn't help. The disk drive is warm and rotating, the blue lamp is on, and the connections are OK (I switched several HDs around to different USB slots.) What should I do next? Is there a terminal script that will scan for HDs? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks and cheers! earle * Earle Jones 501 Portola Road #8008 Portola Valley CA 94028 Home: 650-424-4362 Cell: 650-269-0035 earle.jo...@comcast.net -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

TIA Garth Look on the logic board for swollen/leaking capacitors (those little water tower looking things.) If you see any, they will need to be replaced. Also, check the RAM by putting known-good RAM in. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Boot into openfirmware and do a "listdev" (if the intel ones still have OF) OPT+CMD+O+F Listdev (I think) should show what devices are seen by it. do it with the FW400 port in use, and unused, see what happens.
