Have bought this machine to join the wifes macbook, but the drive has been wiped.
Every time I try to install I get Kernal panic: unable to find driver for this platform.
Is there a solution to this problem I read that I might need OS 9 to get some system files.
Really desperate to get this Ibook working.
Could it be another problem
I am not that great with Macs yet, but should be able to pick it up quickly.
 
I have 10.4.8 that came with this, but I cant see these being the origional restore disks from a 2004 1.2ghz 12" Ibook.
There are two of these and they are genuine. have also tried my wifes copy of tiger that came with her 2007 macbook, they are a little later version 10.4.10
I also have leapard but that is an upgrade disk.
 
Yep but I also have the ones that came with the ibook, but I think they might be an upgrade to the OS that would have been on the ibook.
so what do I buy the full retail version.
 
I found these are these the right ones, I think they are.
