Kernel Panic after 'cold' restart

Hello,

OS 10.3.8, iBook G3 800MHz

When I restart my iBook after it has been switched off for more than a couple of hours I get a kernel panic.

When I then restart (after a couple of minutes), everything is fine.

Any ideas?

It couldn't be anything to do with the PRAM battery could it??????

Over the passed year or so, the laptop has spent most evenings asleep rather than shut-down, could this has bust the PRAM battery? (am I clutching at straws?)

Thanks,




Chops
 
I thought the iBooks don't even _have_ a PRAM battery... They lose track of time, for example, if they're without power for longer than, say, a second.

More often than not, kernel panics are sofware related rather than hardware related. But, yours sound hardware related. Regardless, I would reset your iBook's PMU.
