iMac 333 and OSX

Post #27,125 by Washing Machine Charlie 2/4/02 1:09:59 AM Reply	iMac 333 and OSX I have been getting a series of kernel panics and buffer overflow errors. Not all the time, but usually when I am in the middle of doing something in OSX. Apple claims that I need to buy a new iMac, that the old one has some issues. But I have heard that some people are able to run OSX on their old iMacs fine. I applied the latest version, yet it still seems to do that. Someone told me that there are Mac Geniuses on here and that you are a group of Geniuses for computers. I need those Dummies books just to use the darn thing. Anyone can help me?

What version of OS 9 (for Classic) What hardware devices do you have attached to your iMac? Do the kernel panic incidents have anything in common? (For example, they happen when you run a certain application or plug in a certain piece of hardware.) Am I right in assuming that the buffer overflows are part of the kernel panics?

You might want to get on Software Update (System Preferences in OS X and Control Panels in 9) to get you up to 10.1.2 and 9.2.1, respectively. There's been several updates since 10.1 came out and they may help. Let me know what happens....

But yeah, a software update is always a good thing - or buy 10.2 if you feel like spending some money. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

OK, my kernel panics went away after I upgraded to (and I'll actually think this time) 10.1.2. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.
