Airport Use = Kernel Panic

Hi there,
Just last night I had my first kernel panic on my MacBook in a long time. After suffering several more, I discovered that my airport connection stops functioning shortly before the kernel panic. The only thing that I can think of that has changed was that I installed an update to Transmission. I reinstalled the old version, but that did not fix it. I read that people were having similar problems when using Azureus, but not Transmission. It could very well be that Transmission is unrelated to my problem, but it's the only thing I can think of. Here's is the log of one of my kernel panics:
Mon Nov 26 16:12:06 2007

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've ran into the same thing a couple of times running Leopard. It's happened with Azureus, and yesterday I was going to upload a file via FTP with Transmit, and it happened again. All network activity stops, and soon after, the KP curtain drops.
It has to be a Leopard bug. I would suggest sending the logs to Apple after the KPs happen, and let them know what you were doing when they happened.

  • Airport causing kernel panics and kp in safe boot.

    Last week I got my first kernel panic in years. It happened while I was asleep and checking an extrenal drive for bad blocks with TechTool. It turns out that the drive indeed had bad blocks and found that the cpu was shut down when I awoke. I started up the computer and it wasn't able to stay on for more than 10 min max before the next kernel panic. I checked here for more advice on kernel panics and started to try to narrow the number of culprits. Everything was unplugged and still kp. Instaled a new drive with a week older system from Time Machine and still kp. Reset NVRAM and replaced pyhsical RAM and still kp. Removed the Airport Extreme card and still kp. Booted into Safe Mode after all of the previously mentioned and still kp. I'm now going to take the drive and swap it into another body that I have to see if the root is actually on the drive on the physical hardware of the cpu.
    I was interested in this thread and read all of the links that jpl posted. Airport causing Kernel Panic (?) Jason then replied that it had been solved due to a "permissions problem" I wish he gave more info on what exactly he did to resolve the problem as it's been almost a week now without any work being done for me.
    I've also noticed this very strange behavior that might shed some light onto the issue. When I open System Prefs and close the window there is a strange colored pattern that will always flash after the window has been closed. I tried to post it to my me page but for somereason it wouldn't play for me so there's that and the YouTube version too.

    In addition when the computer has started up and the system loads. Checking Activity Monitor shows that there are 50 or more threads active for the the kernel_task. Inspecting this doesn't seem to show any useful information.
    Finally here are a few of the recent crashes I hope that someone might be able to shed some light on this extremely frustrating problem for me.

    Thanks in advance,

    My vision is pretty poor, still cant see it, but...
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • RAM Issue = No Airport / Frequent Kernel Panics

    Two months ago, I was having constant Kernel Panics on my PowerBook 1GHz 17" and never manage to make Airport work (the icon isn't showing on the top right corner with the others). My local Apple Authorized Service Provider told me that it was my RAM that wasn't well snapped inside my computer. Of course, everything went smoothly for the month, and I enjoyed wireless Internet for the first time... until yesterday!
    At first I had a Kernel Panic while using Airport. I re booted, only to get another one. I tried booting in single-user mode and "fsck -fy" my drive, then "exit" and everything went well... I enter my login name and password: Kernel Panic!
    I zapped the PRAM, but it didn't help. I opened up my computer, placed my original 512MB DIMM on the other slot, re booted... it works! Now I see my Airport, I connect to my router, I go on the web and 5 minutes later: Kernel Panic!
    I tried the DVD that came with it (choosing the Apple Hardware Test at startup, holding the option key), and it saw EVERYTHING. I did the long test, and everything seems fine! Oddly enough, when I go check under my Hardware tab, it doesn't detect any Bluetooth peripheral; is it not seeing the Bluetooth card or a Bluetooth enabled gadget?
    Anyway, I am thinking about buying new RAM to test if that could help. Right now, it doesn't see Airport again but my computer works fine... until I re boot, THEN it will give me Kernel Panics until I zapped the PRAM or do a "fsck -fy"...
    The only thing that drives me mad is the fact that neither memtest (a command-line tool) nor Apple Hardware Test is telling me that there is something wrong with my RAM...

    couple of issues - if your Macbook is 2010 and under - you're suppose to install 1066MHz RAM not 1333MHz.
    while some Macbooks will run using 1333MHz RAM - your Macbook might not be one of them.
    also note - some Seagate Momentus XT 500GB have issues with Macbooks.
    the first thing you should do is to install your old RAM back and see if your issues stops - if not, then keep your old RAM in and install your old hard drive back and see what happens - if problems stop - install the RAM back in and see if it works with no issues - if problems persists, then you know your RAM is the issue.
    if however, your issues are gone with the 8GB of RAM installed and your old hard drive installed - then your Hard Drive is the one causing you issues.
    good luck - hope you get it sorted out.

  • Airport Causing Kernel Panics

    I have been experiencing the odd kernel panic for the past few weeks. Yesterday the situation got much worse when after a KP the PB would not not start up with a Kernel Panic happening during boot up. After many hours the following conclusion has been reahed.
    1) PB passes all tests in extended hardware test.
    2). Crash log points to Airport
    3). Archive and Install to 10.4.6 resulted in a single boot up, accessiong internet via Airport results in immediate KP.
    4). Updates to 10.4.10 give same result KP on boot up, can run in safe boot.
    5). Removing Airport related extensions allow the PB to boot and run normally.
    THis all seems to point to the Airport card and I have read many posts about checking to see if has come loose. How do you do this on a PB 17? I can't seem to find any info about accessing the card.
    Any and all help very much appreciated.

  • Airport problem, kernel panic. I'm tired of it !!!

    hi I HAVE A NEW MAC BOOK PRO IT JUST HAS 1 MONTH AND I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRPORT BECAUSE WHEN I START NAVIGATING IN INTERNET BY WIRELESS TO A MODEM 2700 HG OF TELMEX IT CONNECTS BUT IN 10 MINUTES LATER IT SHOWS A PROBLEM THAT I HAVE TO RESTART THE MAC. I AM VERY ANGRY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I HAVE TAKE THE MAC 3 TIMES TO THE SERVICE PROVIDER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE LOGIC MEMORY, THEY CHANGED IT BUT NOW MY MAC DOESN'T POWER ON SO I AM VERY TIRED OF TAKE IT TO THE SERVICE PROVIDER EVERY 3 DAYS.
    I POST THIS HERE BECAUSE NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I JUST WANT TO CHANGE THE MAC BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO CHANGE ME IT.
    I LIVE IN CANCUN, MEXICO AND I HAVE CALLED TO MEXICO CITY TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO BUT THEY JUST TELL ME THE SAME THING ("TAKE IT TO THE SERVICE PROVIDER") I'M TIRED OF THAT, SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A SOLUTION OR TELL ME WHAT CAN I DO TO CHANGE MY MAC FOR A NEW ONE PLEASE HELP ME!!

    jaja THERE IN USA IS EASY TO RESOLVE THAT TYPE OF PROBLEMS, THE SEND YOU A NEW ONE BUT HERE IN MEXICO THEY DON'T DO THAT THEY JUST TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE MAC TO THE SERVICE PROVIDER ALL THE TIMES THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, I REALLY WANT TO CONTACT WITH SOMEONE IN USA THAT CAN TELL ME EHAT CAN I DO HERE TO CHANGE MY MAC FOR A NEW ONE.

  • Kernel Panics (AFPFS) when using airport discs AND user switching!

    Ok,
    I would love to see if anyone else has had this happen;
    I can replicate this on 2 Mac Pro's we use:
    We have airports discs (in accounts mode) connected, all works fine. However, IF one user does not log out, and another logs on (user switching) we will invariably get a Kernel Panic after some time (sometimes when putting to sleep or logging on, sometimes 'just'. This has not happened when airport discs are NOT MOUNTED, or befure using them (we are using the latest, just-updated software patch). Any suggestions?
    The Panic log (with the memory dump removed) is below:

    I don't have any solutions, but I had been reading about some folks having airport related kernel panics in the MacBook discussion forum. As a matter of fact, I had a kernel panic a little while back on my MacBook, and the crash log pointed to some issues with airport drivers. Here is what Macfixit says about these drivers and I quote:
    "Bad built-in hardware (including hard drives) Repeated kernel panics can be the result of incompatible, damaged or misconfigured built-in hardware. This includes built in AirPort, Bluetooth and other networking hardware, corrupt or damaged hard drives, faulty processors and more. Examine your crash log (as discussed in our tutorial "An introduction to reading Mac OS X crash reports") for clues as to which device is implicated.
    Sometimes the fix is as simple as re-seating built-in hardware. Make sure any PCI, PCI Express, AirPort and other expansion-type hardware is firmly and properly seated in its appropriate port.
    In other cases, the fix involves attacking the problem at a driver or kernel extension level. Again, examine your crash reports and look for components specifically linked to certain hardware. For instance, the following Mac OS X components are all used by Apple AirPort hardware, and can be implicated (by crash logs) in kernel panics:
    com.apple.driver.AirPortAtheros5424(100.21)
    com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily(1.5.0)
    com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(1.9)
    com.apple.iokit.IO80211Family(110.19)
    After determining device-specific components, you can try re-installing them -- either by performing an "Archive and Install" of Mac OS X, or downloading and manually placing items."

  • Kernel Panics when using Airport Extreme Card...I think

    So I have been to the Apple store 7 times in the last three days...here are the problems I've been having and what they've done. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
    All of a sudden I started having Kernel Panic crashes (a least 5 a day.) Seemed to mostly happen when I was browsing (using Firefox.) Also I would usually experience an intermittent connection to the internet before a crash. (i.e. I would be browsing, then the connection would be lost...I'd turn off Airport...turn back on...then a few minutes later while browsing...crash)
    Here is what I've done:
    - At first we thought it was software...after two erase/install, that wasn't it.
    - Maybe the new RAM from OWC...re-sat the RAM, took RAM out and replaced with factory RAM...had OWC send new RAM, that wasn't it.
    - Maybe it is logic board, factory RAM, or Airport Extreme card...Apple replaced today...and THAT wasn't it.
    - Got home after all these new parts and it crashed again while browsing wirelessly. So, I thought, "Could my Qwest wireless network be doing this!?!?!"
    Have tried some different settings with Qwest and am awaiting another crash.
    Does anyone have any idea what else I could try? (2 erase and installs, a new logic board, new RAM, new AE card, didn't do it!)
    I so appreciate any help or advice. I'm in the middle of a couple of major projects and cannot bear to go back to the Apple store for an 8th time!

  • Mountain lion kernel panic using wifi

    I have a very repeatable kernel panic running the latest mountain lion build 10.8.1 (occured in 10.8.0 as well, but I couldn't trace it to a certain behavior yet)
    - enable Wifi, connects to home network (close, excellent connection)
    - start iTunes (latest), run music over Airplay (doesn't run well at all, i.e. stops after the 0.5s of music)
    - open airport utility => kernel panic, always a division error, always called by the atheros driver
    anyone experiencing a similar issue?
    if I disable WiFi and do the same over ethernet -> no problem.
    here the panic report excerpt .... reported to apple as well.
    thanks

    You have far too many third-party system modifications. There's no way that setup is going to be stable.
    Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with a mirroring tool such as Carbon Copy Cloner. Preferably both. You must be certain that you can restore everything to the state it's in now.
    Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup), and reinstall OS X. Test. If the problem is gone, you're done.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
    If the problem persists, boot into Recovery again, launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume with the default options. This operation will destroy all data on the volume, so you had be better be sure of your backups. Quit Disk Utility and install the OS again. When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you import the data from one of your backups. For details of how this works, see here:
    Using Setup Assistant
    Import only "Users" and "Settings" – not "Applications" or "Other files." Don't import the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system. Test. If the problem is still there, you have a hardware fault. Take the machine to an Apple Store for diagnosis.
    If the problem is resolved, reinstall your third-party software cautiously. Self-contained applications that install into the Applications folder by drag-and-drop or download from the App Store are safe. Anything that comes packaged as an installer or that prompts for an administrator password is suspect, and you must test thoroughly after reinstalling each such item to make sure you haven't restored the problem.

  • Santa Rosa MBPro 2.4 - starts, but then only kernel panics

    Trying to solve this problem, appeared suddenly, now every time I start up the MBPro, I get a kernel panic and the Restart Your Mac message. Appears 10-20 seconds after the little wheel starts spinning under the Apple.
    Anyway, I couldn't get any farther, even though I tried different RAM, put in a new hard disk, tried 3 different operating systems. Re. the OS, both Tiger and Snow Leopard seemed to work a little bit, i.e., maybe a half hour or so. Then the kernel panics started again at boot. Now I can't even install an OS. Current OS is Snow Leo, which I installed from an external hard disk.
    Anyway, I checked with Apple Hardware Test. I booted from the Apple Hardware Test (original disks were 10.4, don't think that should matter if I have 10.6 installed now, right?). I did the Extended Testing, which took just under an hour, including 25-30 minutes just for the memory test. But everything checked out, including memory.
    The suggestion the test provided was "if the test results determine that a hardware problem does not exist, consult the manual or Help system that came with your computer for further troubleshooting".
    Obviously can't use Help, as I can't boot the computer.
    The manual is pretty concise too, not much help there.
    Could this be a software problem? If so, what? I've had the kernel panics with 3 different OS.
    What about Airport? I've found a couple threads where people report "airport-enduced kernel panics in Santa Rosa Macbook Pros". Pretty specific.
    They referred to a kext in the Airport software causing the kernel panics, maybe a kext specifically for Atheros.
    My problem is, I wouldn't be able to go in an remove the kext, as I can't boot the computer.
    Does this sound plausible? If so, would it help at all to remove the Airport card? i.e., if there's a conflict between it and the kext? I could always use a USB key for wifi, if that helped solve the problem.
    I could try to boot in Firewire disk mode and remove the kext.
    Any suggestions?

    N.B. interesting to note that the last time I ran AHT this same memory module checked out okay.
    RAM has so many circuits, and millions of varying combinations of what's being used at one time, that it is far from uncommon for bad RAM not to be detected, especially by testing software available to most end-users.
    I have swapped the 1 RAM bank that was installed with another, and am now running AHT in Extended mode, with Looping enabled.
    Good plan.
    Does that code seem to show a MEMORY problem?
    Yes.
    Have there been any problems with the memory SLOTS on the Macbook Pro?
    Yes. There have been at least some problems with every part of every electronic/mechanical device ever made, and MBPs are no exception.
    ie., like with the Powerbook G4s a few years ago.
    I have not seen anywhere near that number of incidents posted here.
    I think the RAM tested out okay on another Mac, but I've done so many tests and changes recently that I can't remember. I've got a few 1GB RAM banks for the MBPro and will try those one by one.
    Not to state the obvious, but you need to do this in an organized manner, otherwise your results will not be valid (you may test the same module in the same memory bank or not test one at all, in which case you'd be wasting your time). You've got the right idea for testing, but you're going to need to label things/and or organize the results. And sometimes two RAM modules work fine independently, but don't play well together, so stick with the one-module-at-a-time approach until you find one that works over a period of time and with all the apps you normally use. After that you can get into combinations and see what works and/or what doesn't.

  • Kernel Panic when using AppleTalk via AirPort Express

    I thought that the issues pertaining to kernel panics when using AppleTalk to connect via AirPort to remote server were solved in the latest (10.5) version of MacOSX - but they are unfortunately not solved.
    ok, so I connect to the remote (macosx) server via the "Connect to..." menu item in Finder. i have a working internet connection up and running via AirPort {AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x87) Firmware: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.46.9)}
    i log in and all is fine - until midway through copying some files - kernel panic. the panics can occur even while doing stuff locally, while the AppleTalk connection is just sitting idle in the background.
    i am on MacOSX 10.5.4, iMac 2.16 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM.
    the kernel panics have been occuring since the Leopard upgrade - never before (on either this machine or my older iMac G5).
    any suggestions?
    thanks in advance,
    tobias

  • Ram related kernel panics on a MBP (ram used to work, hardware errors-)

    hello all
    i have a 2.2GHZ intel core duo 2007 MBP, which once ran Tiger and is now running 10.6.3
    I had the NVDIA graphic card break down associated with such models, and it was replaced thanks to the extended care plan, here in Paris, so the logicboard is new- I also got a (technician installed) new HDD, and snowleopard
    I originally had the 2 1Gig ram, but 1st got an extra 2Gb of danelec ram, and finally another 2GB- it ran fine for a couple year or so-
    then, a few months back I recently started getting kernel panics, on tiger- I fist thought they were HDD related, got a new drive installed by a technician, switched to snow leopard-
    yet they continue, and they're apparently RAM related, yet what is odd is that they can be reproduced with any RAM combination involving 2 sticks- the original apple 1Gb + any of the two GB ram sticks, the 2GB ram sticks together in any slot-- it's all the same, the screen goes grey and i'm told to shut down the computer
    with one ram stick it works, this avoids the issue- but not always
    i've moved the ram around, checked the slots, reset the PRAM,yet the issue is still there.
    now i know that I should be using paired ram, and will do so in the next coming months when I can afford it- yet what has happened to make the make the MBP seemingly refuse two sticks of RAM when it didn't before ? are the two sticks dead ? or is there an issue with the slot ?
    I'd also need to know that this is not a logicboard issue if it's possible- the logic board was changed due to the NVDIA bug, so it's a year old or so-
    I'm running it on the 2GB danelec as I type, no issue, the samsung ram works as well, and so does the 1GB apple ram, in any slot, yet two slots of ram causes the kernel panic crash- the area near the ram slot also seems to get very hot-
    I ran the hardware test yesterday, booting from the tiger dvd, which was difficult (possible drive issue)
    finally managed to boot into hardware test mode (must be a superdrive issue)
    running an extended test with the 4GB of ram in there
    first pass found an error :
    4MEM/9/40 000 000 : bc13950
    running the extended testing
    extended testing (1h39 min)
    no errors found
    ran another quick test
    error
    4MEM/9/40 000 000 : 6b506C4
    another quick test :
    no trouble found
    another : no trouble found
    and a last pass : no trouble found
    but i did have two errors...
    looking the errors up online didn't give anything so far, any clue as to what might be wrong here ? the RAM used to work fine (i've been using these two sticks for over two years), the kernel panics started happening on tiger- got a new HD drive a month ago, installed snow leopard, - used disk warrior and disk utilities, reset the PRAM and did the other tests and it continues- wether i'm running the computer from the internal drive or an external firewire drive-
    running the hardware test, i also got two error messages, but on some passes only
    if i look into the RAM status through about this mac, it says it's ok - what's odd is that the hardware test found errors, but not systematically----- I'd really like to know what the error message mean, can anyone help ?
    i'm getting more and more kernel panics, unfortunately i live in France, so things are slightly less simple than they would be in other places customer servicewise- ie it might not be as simple as showing up at the new apple stores with this 2007 machine--
    I need a stable machine to work on and really can't afford repairs at the moment
    i'm really stuck with this, my finances got sucked into the last HDD upgrade (got it done by an official apple retailer, ICLG here in Paris, cost me 300 euros), and I thought things would be stable for a while since the logic board was changed (free of charge, which was a great relief) less than a year ago due to the nvdia bug- and now here I am with this--
    anyway, here's the last kernel panic report i got, thanks in advance for your help

  • Kernel panic / Internet access with a bad AirPort card

    My iBook G4 started suffering kernel panics just over a week ago. They have rapidly increased in frequency to the extent that it can take several attempts to boot up because they have started occurring during the boot up process (originally they occurred after the iBook had been on for a while).
    I've looked through the forum and have seen that there seem to be some common causes -RAM, AirPort card, or something to do with the HD. I ran disk utility on the HD and it didn't find any problems and I also successfully ran the 'repair disk permissions'. I have tried taking out the RAM -that didn't do anything. The kernel panic does frequently occur when I am either using Mail or Safari, but as I've said, it also occurs when I'm booting up -does the fact that it happens when I boot up mean that it cannot be the AirPort card (which incidentally is not under the keyboard -so it must be inside)?
    Earlier today I switched off AirPort and was able to work on the computer for almost three hours without any kernel panic (but also without internet access). Less than a minute after switching it back on, it froze again.
    If this does mean that the problem is with the AirPort card, I have a question about internet access. I use the iBook on a wireless network that stems from a modem with a Mac downstairs and I do not have any internet cables, or a phone line, in the room where the iBook is used. Is it possible to use something like AirPort Express even with a bad AirPort card? And does AirPort Express connect to the iBook, or to the main modem downstairs?
    Apologies for so many questions and many thanks for any help you are able to give -this has been driving me around the bend for the past week?

    Update:
    An acquaintance who works for Apple suggested that before assuming that the problem was the AirPort card / buying further equipment, I should boot up with the original installation disk in and use the disk utility function to 'repair disk'. I did that and got a 'Volume Header needs minor repair' message. It repaired that & I restarted the iBook. I was able to do an update back-up to my external hard drive & all was fine until I switched AirPort back on -there was an instant kernel panic.
    I figured that it couldn't hurt to run the Apple Hardware Test -did that and restarted again. Was able to open Mail (AirPort was on) but then the AirPort connection disappeared and the pointer froze, but there was no kernel panic screen. I had to force quit -restarted again. This time I was able to use Mail, downloaded a song on iTunes, and was on the internet for about 45mins before the connection disappeared and the pointer froze again. I could force quit the app but with a frozen pointer I ended up having to force quit again.
    I waited a while and then booted up again (without problem) but this time I was told that there was no Airport card present! Shut down and reran the Hardware Test (which said that AirPort 'Passed'). When I restarted AirPort was briefly there but disappeared when I opened AirPort Utility and at this point the pointer also froze. I did force quit to get out of the app and then there was a kernel panic. Is this now pretty conclusive that the AirPort card is the problem?
    I would appreciate any feedback -I've had a very frustrating week with this.
    Thanks.

  • Can using a Macbook Pro Drive in a Mac Pro cause kernel panic?

    Is there any inherent problem/conflict with running a Mac Pro off an OSX drive that was used, for a Macbook Pro? Is there MP firmware installed that is incompatible with a MBP drive?
    The drive is a 2.5" duplicate of my MBP that was created not by installation, but by clone, (SuperDuper), that I have booted from, and used before, as a backup for my MBP.
    In as brief as possible...
    On Nov. 1, my MBP's fans started making horrible noises. I made a genius appt for the afternoon, and I backed up my MBP external clone and brought the Macbook Pro in to Apple. They kept if for repair, (3-5 days.)
    I also have a Mac Pro, which is exclusively a workstation machine. I do not use it for personal purposes. That's what the MBP is for. But meanwhile I have personal purposes to attend to, so I was planning to use the MBP clone as a startup disk on the MP.
    Rather than use the MBP clone as a startup disk through fw800, I had the bright idea of plugging the clone into the MP drive bay directly.
    The first time I booted, I was not connected to the internet, (both MP and MBP use the same Airport Extreme.) My network, nor any other, were visible in the airport menu (bar), and from that pulldown I tried to toggle airport off, and it was unresponsive. I went into Sys Pref Network, and instantly a pop up announced a new network interface was detected, (called Airport 2), and when I hit apply suddenly I was connected again to the network and the internet.
    I was downloading some large files overnight, went tot sleep late, and all was good. That was until morning, when I discovered the kernel panic screen. I rebooted in single user, ran fsck twice, (first time the sys was modified), rebooted and was back up again.
    All was good until tonight, when downloading again, I had another kernel panic, second in 14 hours.
    I restarted again in Single User, ran fsck twice, same as before, and am back up and running again.
    I would have called Apple support, but they were already closed. I will call them in the morning.
    Is there any long term damage to my machine that can be cause by these kernel panics?
    I have had kernel panics before, but not in the last three years.
    Thanks in advance. I appreciate the help. This problem may be above most of our "pay grades," so I will understand if there are no responses at all. ( I usually have problems that get no responses, because I know how to fix all the little stuff!)
    Also, if you need me to post logs from Console, let me know.
    Best,
    Richard

    It comes down to two issues:
    1) whether the image on that disk was created from a set of MacBook-specific DVDs, such as the ones that shipped with with the MacBook when new. If so, it does not have the required Drivers for certain Mac Pro Hardware.
    2) whether your Mac Pro was shipped with a System later than the one for the MacBook Pro. If so, it does not have some of the Updates for Mac Pro Hardware.
    No one has the patience to debug such an Installation unless and until you can demonstrate that the System you are running is the correct one for the Mac Pro you are running it on.

  • Constant kernel panics while using iPhoto 11

    I'm hopeful that someone can help me sort this out....it's getting very frustrating. It doesn't "just work"....not anymore.
    First off, I'm using an early 2009 (unibody) 17" MBP, 2.93 GHz, fully loaded (for this model) with 8GB RAM, 750 GB HDD with plenty of room left, running the latest Mountain Lion and iPhoto versions/updates. Everything is stock - I haven't done anything funky hardware or software wise, except add more RAM and a bigger HDD, which I did well over a year ago.
    I've been trying to do a large project in iPhoto 11 - manually selecting photos from my huge photo database into a specific album, from which I'll order a hard copy photo album book from Apple - at least that was the plan. Even if I'm ever allowed to get this done, I may wind up so frustrated with Apple that I go somewhere else...
    So I'll be working along, listening to iTunes, with maybe Mail open in the background - really nothing else - and, wham, black screen. It doesn't even panic error message (grey screen) on me....it just quits. The song being listened to in iTunes stutters for a couple of seconds before it quits.
    This happened to me 2 days ago, then earlier today, and again just now. The 2 earlier times left behind a kernel panic log file (both shown below), but this last one didn't even leave that. The computer reboots, tells me it suffered an unexpected shutdown, can it send the data to Apple (the 2 earlier episodes), etc. And of course, when I restart iPhoto it wants to verify my database. Each time I'm afraid it'll tell me the dbase got corrupted beyond repair by the unexpected shut down. So far I've been lucky enough not to have that happen.
    After the first episode, I ran a disk check and permissions check from my recovery partition, then ran an extended AHT - all of these came up fine.
    After the episode earlier today, I ran disk check from the recovery partition, rebooted into safe mode (I saw a blog where someone suggested that potentially corrective diagnostics were ran when booting into safe mode), then rebooted into AHT and looped it (the routine check, not the extended check) 11 times - all of these tests were again negative. On a hunch, I changed my battery-saving video mode (System Preferences / Energy Saver ...) to "high performance" to see if using the stronger video card would make a difference. No such luck.
    This time I rebooted into safe mode (from the same blog I read before - a guy with a similar problem said that in his case it hadn't happened to him again while in SM). My iPhoto dbase is still being "checked" as I write this, so I have no idea yet if running in SM will allow me to work uninterrupted.
    This ONLY happens while I'm running iPhoto, and in each of the 3 cases, was actively using the app. I've had no kernel panics outside of using iPhoto.
    And, the last 2 kernel panics (which left logs behind), showed all com.apple kexts except for a single one associated with AirParrot. Since I never use AirParrot, I uninstalled it using their supplied uninstaller. I then followed up with Find Any File to make sure all AirParrot traces were gone, which they were. So, even with the one 3rd party kext gone, this problem happened again, just now.
    I don't think it's hardware - a lot of AHT negative testing doesn't support that. There isn't any 3rd party junk swimming around. That leaves Apple software. And if I'm reading the crash logs correctly, it all has something to do with the graphics system. But that's about as far as my knowledge can take me. Searching the net for similar experiences has landed with with many references to similar experiences - but none matching mine, really. A lot of calls for hardware replacements, trips to the genius bar, etc. But again, my case doesn't seem hardware.
    Sorry for the long description - it doesn't seem like a straightforward problem.
    Very grateful for any helpful advice I can get - I've got to get this project done.
    Thanks!

    As I had mentioned, I had removed AirParrot in its entirety, and that followed the two panics which generated the logs I showed. The third panic, which prompted me to post here, generated no log, and AirParrot was gone by that time.
    As it so happens, the thing had a fourth panic - log shown below. AirParrot is clearly gone.
    It is an iPhoto problem - what else could it possibly be? iPhoto is the only thing (and I use my computer quite a bit) that incites it, and repeated AHT's have failed to show anything.
    I'm just hopeful that someone has experienced this and knows a solution, or that Apple is watching, and would like to fix their software.
    Failing that, I'll have to let Apple have my money for nothing, and will need to look for another photo manager, and I'm happy to take suggestions in that area as well.
    Thank you!

  • Kernel Panic when I use Serial Port

    Hello,
    I have a macbook pro 15" 2.66 Ghz 2009 running Mountain Lion.
    I use Serial Ports for communicate with instruments via Matlab or CoolTerm, using bluetooth or USB. After some minute of work, my computer crash for kernel panic.
    This is the log file about a crash with matlab and bluetooth, someone can help me?
    Thanks in advance
