Can Anyone Help?, Panic ( CPU 0 ) message. Options

[Andy]

Hi all.
I'm currently trying to get a friend's Titanium P/Book G4/550mhz/512ram to boot up using 0S 9.2. However, a couple of seconds after the ' chord ' I am faced with this message:

panic (cpu 0): Unable to find driver for this platform:"Power Book3,3".

Latest stack backtrace for cpu 0:

I can boot from CD with no problem. Also I have run a diagnostics check and all hardware appears OK. I reinstalled the system folder but I still get this message when trying to boot from the drive.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

your laptop attemps to boot into MacOSX and fails. You need to either:

+ Reset the pram (press command-option-P-R at boot time until you hear a SECOND (same) chord
+ boot while pressing "option" and select the icon that correspond your your 9.2 system folder
