Ohkay.  So what do the logs say?

If you started up in verbose mode, I think that you get a similarly
verbose kernel panic message.

I started in normal mode and got this bizarre message.

It wasn't a normal panic. Not the dark box with 'you need to restart your 
Mac' written in lots of languages.

It was similar to the text when you start up in verbose mode.

Simon

If it took the whole OS down, it was a kernal panic.

Safari Panic

2009-02-04 Thread Simon Royal

Hi.

My 6 year old son has an eMac 1.25Ghz running 10.4.11. He is free to use it as 
I have set him up with no admin rights and limited Finder (but not Simple 
Finder).

A couple of days he called me upstairs to be greeted with a, what I believe is 
called a verbose panic - white text outlined in black overlaying the desktop.

He had simply booted and opened Safari and then it threw that up. It has never 
crashed before and has been fine since.

Is this just one of those blips or should I be worried?

Simon

verbose panic?  No such thing.

Go into Console and look at the logs.
