Kernel Problem Upgrading from 9.2.2 to 10.3

[Kev]

Hi!
I'm a new mac user, but I've read a lot of the posts on the site on upgrading a blueberry ibook to OS 10.3, and I have encountered a problem which i can't find a remedy for on the site:

I've upgraded my OS from 9 to 9.1 to 9.2.2... and my firmware is version 4.17 already. However, whenever i try to load the retail version of OS 10.3 into my CDROM and click the installer to restart the computer, upon restart, there is a kernel error which contains the words "Warning: drivers for Powerbook 2,1 not found".

I've done all the necessary upgrades, and I am at a loss. Any suggestions, please? : S

Have you tried simply Restarting from the CD-ROM _before_ clicking on the Installer (i.e. instead of "clicking the installer to restart the computer" ) ?

How much RAM? Do you have sufficient Hard Disk space for the install?

Hey.

I tried restarting from the CDROM by pressing 'C' while the computer was booting up, and I still get a kernel error.

I have 128 MBs of Ram and 6 GB hard disk, of which 5 GB are free.

Whats with the 'Powerbook Drivers 2,1 thing??

It could be your cd, or your CD-ROM.

I'm not so sure about this but it's worth a try.

Your HD could be your problem, Kenn. You have to upgrade it to at least 20GB, afterwhich, you would have to partition it. Make sure that the first partition is a little less than 8GB. There is where you would need to install Mac OS X.

It is also suggested that you up your RAM to at least 256MB to be able to run OS X smoothly.

I'd like to refer you this thread. It might be able to help you.
