    Congrats!

    Your first ever kernel panic! :cool:



    Okay, first thing's first. Send a report to Apple.



    Include:

    A detailed hardware description.

    OS versions.

    What you were doing when it happened. (namely, booting up)

    A textual copy of EVERYTHING on the screen. If they get it all including all the hexadecimal address info, they can much easier pinpoint the problem.



    Next, give us the same info and maybe we can help.



    Have you any external peripherals?

    Have you added/removed any RAM lately?

    Did this happen immediately after upgrading to 10.1.3?

    Have you tried booting into single-user mode?

    What Mac are you using?



    Any PCI cards installed?



    Was this Mac running OS X fine before? Or is this a new install?



    Can you boot into 9?



    Can you boot from a CD?



    Try starting up while holding the "S" key (this is called single user mode), you'll get a bunch of code - once started type "fsck". When that is done type "exit". Does that help?



    Sorry, I guess I have more questions than you do.

    Actually, that's not quite right.



    At the prompt, enter the command: /sbin/fsck -y and wait. If you get a message saying **** FILESYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ****, then enter the command again. Kepp doing that until it says your disk is okay. Then you can enter the exit command.

    Thanks for the replies (so soon ) I'll write a mail to Apple with all the numbers etc.



    A few answers:

    My mac: G4 400 Mhz, 320 RAM, SCSI PCI card, nothing added/ removed lately, i didn't upgrade to 10.1.3 (it was the reason i wanted to boot in X). My Mac was running X fine before. I can boot into 9 (luckily it's still my main OS).



    And i will try the things you both suggested tomorrow (i will let you guys know).



    Thanks!

    Try taking out the SCSI card first thing.

    320mb of ram. Is that all from apple or any third party ram? If it is third party I would try removing the non-apple ram and then try restarting.

    I can boot in X again! I first booted from an os9 restore cd and ran first disk aid (or whatever it's called) and it fixed my hd. I'm happy now



    Thanks everybody for the possible other solutions!
