Weird color issues and Kernel panic!
Okay, so last night I was running tech tool maintenence, and I had repair on. So, it finished scanning my startup volume (I was on my eDrive) and then I shut down and restarted. Now, it tried to start from my startup volume (tiger 4.7, with latest updates) and it says you need to restart your computer (which means there is a kernel panic, am I right?) I try safe mode to no avail, I even reset the PMU and reset the PRAM (but I didnt hear the starup noise again). So, I put in my backup HD, and it starts up, but wait! Now the video is horribly wrong! It is all in TERRIBLE quality and in mostly only greys, I mean it looks like a 4 mb vram video card, there are very few pixels of color( there are some intermitedly) and there is terrible ghosting, and I can barely read anything. so, I checked my display, and universal access settings, and fooled around with those, and nothing happened. So, now I try and start from my eDriveand it start, but now it has the same horrible color problem as my other drive. Oh boy, this is a new computer, and I already have a kernel pnic, and a video problem, what can I do? Thanks for any help. Matthew. I have a sawtooth, a radeon 9200 flashed video card, and the latest tiger.
Since it references com.apple.iokit.IOFireWireFamily, I suspect that some FW device is causing the panic. Disconnect all of them and see if that stops the problem. As for general KP stuff, start with http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

What if you tried running mplayer with the following command :
mplayer -fs -zoom filename
As for the "too pixelish" problem well... you could try increasing the "nice" level (at least in VLC). For the other video players I don't know.

Known issues with CUDA 5.0.17 and 5.0.24 driver (including crashes and kernel panics) on Mac OSX
We have recently learned of some issues with the new CUDA drivers from Nvidia that cause crashes and kernel panics in some circumstances, including when switching between applications that use the GPU.
See this page for details.You are experiencing a page fault (reference to an area outside of what is owned by the software in question) in the AirPort driver, in a Mac OS X kernel that does not have obvious third-party modifications to it.
This should not be happening. Your Mac OS X image may be Bad.
If you do not already have a Trusted Backup, that should be your Top Priority.
If this is a new MacBook, and it is within the first 90 days of ownership, contact telephone support and ask them to help you. They will likely suggest a re-Install, right over the Mac OS X you have in place now. This is intended to do no damage, but you should always have a Backup. -
Known issues with CUDA 5.0.17 driver (including crashes and kernel panics) on Mac OSX
We have recently learned of some issues with the new CUDA drivers from Nvidia that cause crashes and kernel panics in some circumstances, including when switching between applications that use the GPU.
See this page for details.Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software. -
Hard Feezing and Kernel Panics - Early 11 MBP
Hey just wondering if anyone has any insight into this...
I've been experiencing hard freezing and kernel panics on my Early 11 Macbook Pro for several months. The hard freezing only happens when I wake up my system from sleep. I'll open the lid and when it happens, within seconds, everything locks up. No spinning wheel, just frozen machine and I have to do a hard reboot. I also get random kernel panics as well.
I took it in the the Genius Bar a few weeks ago, they ran tests and said the hardware was all fine and that I should reinstall Lion after a clean format. Well I did that and still having issues. Not sure if it's being caused by a 3rd party app...or if I really do have bad hardware after all.
When they did a diagnostic they said that 'soundflower' was showing up in my kernel panic log and that I should find what that is and delete it, so I did. In my most recent and only kernel panic, shown below, I don't see any 3rd party language anywhere.
Anyone have an idea of what might be causing this?

Temp and kernel panic relation?
Is there a relationship between temperature and kernel panic?
I've spent the day restarting the computer trying everything I've found at apple discussions and support to fix the nonstop kernel panic restart requests.
After I Left the thing off for an hour - I gave up after my husband said my ranting caused Ga Tech to lose the Gator Bowl- I was able to get almost through the OS reinstall, which was about step number 45 in my restarts for the day.
so is this a temp problem? Is this chance or related to the cool down? Cannot wait for tomorrow to talk to someone at apple!After you talk to them be sure to post back ...it may very well be related and if so indicates a hardware issue - meaning you may have to send it in for repairs.
When you mention it's a week old then I'm assuming it's a Core2Duo and not just a refurbished orig. Macbook. -
Weird one shot deal kernel panic
hi,
weirdly, I got a kernel panic while downloading iOs 4.2 in iTunes earlier tonight. The computer log file shows what is down below. Does anyone know what the exact problem was. I shut it down and reopened it without any new kernel panic but that's weird.
thanks in advance

Mac freezing and kernel panics
Please help if anyone can. I'm not much of a computer expert.
I apologize in advance if I'm not asking this question in the right forum or topic- I haven't ever posted before today.
I have a PowerMac G5 dual 2 GHz processor machine running 10.4.9. Lately I have had problems with freezing and kernel panics, especially at startup or soon after startup.
I have 1 GB RAM, 150 GB hard drive with 117 GB free space. I have no peripheral devices hooked to my computer- just an Apple USB mouse and keyboard that came with my computer.
Panics occur at startup usually, and require a restart using the power button.
Sometimes the system profiler shows that I have only 1 CPU.
I've run all the Apple hardware diagnostic stuff, Disk Utility, Disk Warrior, etc, and it comes up clean- no problems. I've run fsck -fy, and I've done a full erase and reinstall, then update to 10.4.9. Problem persists.
Sometimes I don't get the startup sound, and then everything freezes.
Sometimes it freezes on the blue screen and shows the prohibitory sign.
Sometimes when it freezes, the fans go wild and just keep increasing in speed until I force restart.
Recent kernel panic log reads as follows:

Thank you very much.
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)Based on that info, it sounds like either the optical or hard drive is beginning to go bad and perhaps the CPU on the logicboard. The fact it mentions iostorage, that typically deals with the storage devices on the computer. The fact that the CPU disappears is not good. Backup your data and try to replace the hard drive. See my FAQ* on backing up:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
A G5 takes SATA hard drives, and won't work with the Parallel ATA drives. SATA drives take the connectors shown here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA
The drive may still be under warranty even if the computer is not. Look on the sticky label on the outside of the drive.

Ever since I updated to 10.7.4 I have been having problems with CrashPlan 3.2 and kernel panics. I use CrashPlan on a MacMini 3,1 w/ 2 GHz Core 2 Duo processor and 8 GB of memory. I have several external drives that contain a large collection of photos and home movies connected to the system. There is also a large external disk that I use as a local CrashPlan backup of other computers on my home lan. The system serves mostly as a backup and file server. There are a total of over 1 million files and over 1.3 TB of data that is backed up from this computer.
After the 10.7.4 upgrade I started getting regular kernel panics when the system was running only CrashPlan. The crash report usually indicated that java was the active process, pointing to CrashPlan as the culprit. To verify that 10.7.4 was the culprit I did clean installs of 10.7.3 and 10.7.4 on an external disk, installed CrashPlan on each of them, and alternately booted from them. I was able to run 10.7.3 for long periods of time (days/months) without crashes while 10.7.4 resulted in a crash, usually within an hour of enabling CrashPlan but never more than a day or so. The crashes seemed to correspond to CrashPlan having high levels of activity. I verified the file systems of all the external drives. In August I finally got around to updating to ML, and by then 10.8.1 was out. I did a clean install on an external drive, installed CrashPlan, crossed my fingers, and, to my disappointement, ..., crashes continued. It may just be my imagination, but I would say if anything the crashes happened sooner.
I had a several month running discussion with CrashPlan support, which by the way was very responsive and gave good suggestions. I tried many things including 32 bit Java instead of 64 bit. All of this was to no avail until this past week. It was suggested that I increase the limit on the memory. Instructions fro doing this are to edit /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.crashplan.engine.plist (need root permissions to do this), search for the line that contains -Xmx512m and increase 512 to something larger. It was suggested that I start with 1024, but since I have a lot of memory on the system I used 2048. Of course CrashPlan has to be stopped and restarted for this to take effect.
Perhaps I am being premature in writing this post, but the backup has been running for over 12 hours and seems to be working fine. I noticed that the java process is using 870 MB of real and 1 GB of virtual memory. So, this could explain why CrashPlan had trouble when it was limited to 512 MB of memory. I do not know why this was not a problem under 10.7.3. I did notice under 10.7.3 that CrashPlan reported using 650 MB of real memory for the same backup set. So, for some reason it uses more under 10.8.1. It may also be that 10.7.4 and 10.8.1 have stronger memory protection, but I am not sure. I am posting this information in the hopes that it will benefit someone else having similar problems.Start with http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106417

PCIe USB 3.0 - WIFI Reception and Kernel Panic Issues
I have been running Arch as a router on an Asrock E350M1 with shorewall and hostapd. I used to have one USB3 gigabit ethernet adapter plugged into a USB2 port connecting to my modem and the onboard gigabit ethernet connected to an 8 port switch. I bought a 5 port USB3 PCIe card and another 2 adapters and now have everything running off of the E350 with the modem going into the onboard ethernet and the USB adapters going to the LAN. However, I get occasional kernel panics and my WIFI range is now terrible compared to what it was before. The last few lines before the kernel panic line is "kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt".
- The WIFI adapter is a USB2 802.11n adapter here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6833381004
- The USB adapters are 2x Logitec LAN-GTJU3 and 1x Plugable USB 3.0 Gigabit LAN Adapter
- The PCIe card is a weird one.. http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B008 … UTF8&psc=1 (in japanese)
On the card are both a VL811-Q8P chip and a FL1100-1Q0 chip. It looks like the top four connectors to go the VL811+ and the bottom one and the header pins go to the FL1100.
Picture of the card: http://i.imgur.com/KVwyyXq.jpg?1
So, basically.. does anyone have any ideas? Is there some kernel module somewhere that I have to compile myself? Everything was recognized automatically.
Last edited by vinneh (2014-01-20 04:51:52)Since it references com.apple.iokit.IOFireWireFamily, I suspect that some FW device is causing the panic. Disconnect all of them and see if that stops the problem. As for general KP stuff, start with http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

Panic.log and Kernel Panic issues
Can anyone help me out with deciphering this kernel panic log. I've had about 4 KP's in the last couple months. I only have one in my log because I think that is the only one I have had since I did an erase and install. I checked it in for repair at an Apple Store where they ran a high load test on it and found no hardware problems nor could they determine the source of the KP's.
I have plently of disk space and a third party graphics card bought and installed at the Apple Store. The computer was used in a professional creative environment every day, 10 hours a day for a year and a half and was rarely shut down overnight. It was pushed pretty hard, was kept in an area that allowed for dust accumulation and the area below the desk where it was kept had pretty poor air flow. It was probably moved around a bit while running. All a recipe for disaster, but I figure it's better to be up front about it's condition before one were to help me out.
Beside the couple KP's I've had, it will occasionally hang up while switching into a different user while using "Fast User Switching". Aside from distinguishing what this log might mean, I am also curious to what degree a KP can have on further corruption of data. Data corruption concerns me more than the occasional KP that would force me to revert to my last save.
Here is the log file. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

[SOLVED] Device not found and kernel panic
Hi,
I'm having an issue with the kernel. I get this weird error while booting:
Booting the kernel.
:: running early hook [udev]
:: running hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents...
ERROR: device '' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR: Unable to find root device ''.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
[rootfs /]# _
I don't have the slightest idea what to type in that shell, so I exit (^D) and get an error with its shell, another one and finally a kernel panic. Do I have to report the other two error as well? I think this might be related to a recent change in my syslinux.cfg. I wanted to add hibernation cabability to my arch, so I added "resume=/dev/sda2" (my swap) to kernel options. It should not yield such a result though. As a matter of fact, I get it even if I remove that parameter at runtime. For now, I managed to boot with Fallback Initramfs.
Here is syslinux.cfg, as well:

Launching apps make screen temperature tone change in Mountain Lion, and kernel panics to
I have a mid-2010 MBP. After installing ML I began experiencing kernel panics after a day or so. The system kept rebooting and couldn't stay on for longer than 2 minutes. It made the loud beeps indicating RAM issues, and the screen sometimes flashed weirdly. I could boot from an external clone, so the problem was the hard drive in the end.
I installed a new SSD (Samsung 830) and 8GB of RAM from Kingston. Everything went fine for a day, them kernel panics started again, with those beeps, 3 beeps and other beeps at different frequencies. I think this time was a problem with the new RAM as switching to the old ones let's the computer work fine.
Installing the old ones again worked fine, but moving the computer makes it freeze, so they're probably defective. When it booted, though, I noticed a strange issue, which is the topic of this question:
Launching apps like Byword, Espresso or AppZapper made the color temperature change for, an hot to a cold tone. Quitting returned it to normal. Other apps, like apple's or Reeder worked fine. Launching these after one of the "cold" ones didn't restore it to normal. Rebooting sometimes solved the issue, it's not a consistent problem. Booting from an external clone of the current setup or an old one doesn't show the issue
With the old original RAM this is less evident, but there's still a slight change with the said apps.
I should try again with the clone to see if the change is slight and I didn't notice it, it may alway have been there from the start actually.
Could it be a video card problem as the Apple Support guy told me? Am I this unlucky and my Kac is falling apart all the way?
There is to say that I cannot afford to send it to Apple to check (which would take a couple of weeks) for a couple of months, as I need the computer.
Have anyone seen this too?

Macbook pro 2009 unibody with white screen and kernel panics
I upgrade to Lion a month or two ago and things have been working fine. A few days ago, I try to wake my computer from sleep and it freezes on a white screen. I reboot only to continue to find the white screen. I hear the chime every time on boot. From then on, I am having different responses on startup.
Initially I could boot to single user mode no problem, but would continue to get white screen on regular boot. I tried to reinstall lion, and on restart midway through install I got the half-gray "you need to restart" kernel panic screen.
Yesterday at apple store, it would not boot to single user, OS select, verbose, etc. modes. They told me it was logic board or hard drive.
Bough a SSD, successfully installed Snow Leopard, and then continued to have similar kernel panics.
Now, replaced originaly harddrive and successfully reinstalled Lion, although got a kernel panic on the halfway reboot (log posted below). Install finished, and now up and running for about an hour. Decided to reboot to check, and big surprise, one more kernel panic. (2nd log posted below).
Is this a logic board? Seems like the HD is not the problem since same issue with a SSD.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated, apply was very unhelpful (I am out of warranty, no applecare). Thanks

How to run hardware diagnostics for an Intel Mac
Boot from your original OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer. After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears. Run the extended tests for a minimum of two or three hours. If any error messages appear note them down as you will need to report them to the service tech when you take the computer in for repair.
Some "common" error indicators:
SNS - sensor error
MEM - memory error
HDD - hard disk drive error
MOT - fan error
Cannot guarantee that it will reveal anything. As for using the other GPU all I say is you can try switching to it in Energy Saver preferences. -
Repeated iMac Problems, Display Issues now Kernel Panics
I’m lost on what’s wrong with my 2008 iMac and I think I just have to bring it back into Apple for a third time to have it repaired. But something is obviously not working that is causing these issues.
About a month ago, my computer began showing heavy pixilation, flickering images and the on-screen graphics. The computer appeared to keep working in the background from what I could tell so I came to conclusion that it must be the graphics card that’s failing and I’ll need to have it looked at.
My 2008 iMac was custom-built by Apple with the Nvidia GeForce 8800GS that was offered as an upgrade option. There have been several posts on the display and graphics discussion board about that graphics card along with other postings other places about the problems the Nvidia GeForce 8-series had.
The display problems I mention above would not happen immediately, it would happen as the computer warmed up and was used for 3-5 minutes.
Anyway I brought my computer into Apple explained to them what I believed was the problem and the Apple Store technician agreed with me. Because I did not purchase AppleCare, it cost me $400 and a week without my iMac to have that card replaced.
I got the computer back two weeks ago and everything seemed fine. It was working as it always had. I even was running SMC Fan Control in order to keep the computer as cool as I could (the Nvidia problem was related to overheating).
But this morning, this is what I woke up to:
http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/7436/photoijr.jpg
The computer now has a semi-permanent pixilation when it starts up (as suppose to the pixilation 3-5 minutes into use). But more worrisome now is I cannot start up the computer without it going into a kernel panic. I tried resetting the PRAM, I tried starting in safe mode. The only thing I haven’t tried yet is booting from an external HD which I will try this evening (to hopefully isolate it if it’s hardware or a software problem).
The Apple Hardware Test has been unhelpful. When it originally failed three weeks ago, the test showed nothing and this morning when I ran it (permanent pixilation and all), it showed nothing. I feel like if it was a software issue the pixilation would have disappeared during the hardware test because that’s not an OS-X based program.
Here are my specs on this computer:
2008 iMac 24" 2.8ghz Intel Core Duo, 4 gigs of RAM (Crucial Purchased, I have original sticks somewhere), 1 TB HD, Nvidia GeForce 8800GS.Hi, just to update you, I came home today and did a few things that didn't seem to solve my Mac's problems:
- I booted up from my firewire "safe" drive that I keep a copy os x on to see if I had a corrupted hard drive or something. It booted into the kernel panic I described above.
- I also swapped out the crucial RAM for Apple's factory RAM. It also booted into the Kernel Panic.
In both incidents, the display issues didn't go away. Now instead of pixelization i have vertical bars running in a pattern across my screen.
I'm currently trying to boot onto the OS X CD at this point to see if I could do a reinstall. It's taking quite awhile to boot into that.
With that in mind, I think we're still having graphics card issues or more seriously some logic board problem.
