I lost roughly three hours today. I was copying some files from my old PowerMac (AKA: the Smurf) to my MacBook, when the connection suddenly dropped. Turns out the Smurf had a kernel panic. D’oh! “No problem,” I thought, “I’ll turn it off and on again, and then carry on where I left off.” But no.

Kernel panic on reboot. Every time. Even when trying to boot from a DiskWarrior DVD. Hmm.
