Surprised lilshawn or ed12 have not replied yet.

Anyway, My first guess would be hard drive related. It could be that the files on the hard drive are corrupted. Or the hard drive developed bad sectors and the files that are trying to load that are located in those sectors are damaged (corrupted). This would explain why its trying to load but fails with a kernel panic. Think if it like a music cd that skips at certain times of a song. Thats usually because theres a scratch or smudge on the cd. Thats similar to bad sectors on a hard driver. Hope that helps explain your issue.

Now things you can try to fix it:
1. buy a Sapphire hard drive.
2. try to reinstall sapphire software onto problem hard drive.

1. is most easy, but expensive.
2. is cheap, but time consuming.

If you try 2. theres a slight chance that a reinstall will copy the data onto good sectors and not the bad sectors. Think of this like windows feature reallocating hard drive.

That's what I was leaning towards. Just did not want to spend wasted money on not bad parts.  I do not have the disks to re flash my hard drive. Will most likely search eBay for a "good" used one
