I'm working on a friend's G4 Powerbook. Last week we upgraded him to 10.3. However during the course of the week he realized his main app Pro Tools wouldn't work without an update and of course he didn't have the serial number available....it was at the office. So his buddy has the bright idea to just install 10.2 over it to get Pro Tools working again. I know, I thought the same thing...what an idiot. Anyway after he did that it would boot but about the only thing he could get to run was iTunes. Completely trashed his machine. Anyway today I went over and did an archive and install of 10.2. It booted after install but after downloading and installing combined updater and other updates it gives me a kernel panick every time. I'm able to boot off other drives, so I figure it's not hardware related.
I'm guessing there were remnants of 10.3 still on the drive causing problems, so I'm in the process of zeroing data on the drive and then I'm going to do a new install of 10.2 so we can get him 'back to where he was.'
Does anyone have any thoughts or other suggestions/recommendations as to what I should do?
Thanks!
