10.6.8 Update Reboot causes Kernel Panic

Hi,
After rebooting from updating to 10.6.8 my Unibody MacBook 2.4GHz is having a Kernel Panic.
I swapped the HDD with an older install and it worked fine and I ran diagnostics on my HDD but it found nothing.
So I put it back in and booted in Safe Mode (where I am right now) but nothing seems to be wrong with it.
Here's the Log:

Me too!! MacBook Pro4,1
After running update 10.6.8 I also got a Kernel Panic message (details, see below). I repaired permissions, repaired my harddisk, still kernel panic at start up. Than I decided to reinstall Snow Leopard. It booted up my MBP fine, allowing me to access this forum and reading that others report a similar issue (btw, I don't have Handoff from Metakine, no USB attached devices, just my MBP). Here is the log:

What should I do or not do to run 10.8.6?

Battery Update Causing Kernel Panics?

It seems that ever since I installed the Battery Update it's been causing Kernel Panics on my MBP. Three since yesterday in fact. Has anyone else been experiencing this?
MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1 GB RAM, 80 GB HDD, ATI Radeon X1600

Hmm I have seen multiple posts on the computer not booting the OS (gets to the grey apple with spinning gear screen) but so far I think you are the first I have seen reporting kernel panics.
Can you boot to the install cd? I'd try running the disk utility from the install disk and verify/repair permissions and verify the disk as well. (repair disk if verification fails)
Here is an article that may help ya:

10.7.3 update on SSD, kernel panic

I had my OS and applications installed on SSD drive of my iMac. After updating to 10.7.3 via updater and rebooting, kernel panic occured. The message is something like "unable to find driver for this platform". I then tried to restore from TimeMachine, same message. Doing the update with Combo package, same thing.
I installed the latest OS on my rotational drive with no problem (and that's how I can report this!) but even clean install of the OS on the SSD gives me the same kernel panic with the same message on reboot.
I don't think SSD is the problem because I installed Snow Leopard off my install DVD with no problem. But Lion causes kernel panic every time, with no possibility to restore from TimeMachine.
iMac 27, 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7 x 4, 16 GB 13333 MHz DDR3, 251 GB SSD + 2 TB Rotational

I installed Snow Leopard off my installer DVD. If I now install Mac OS I purchased from App Store (obviously not the update package), do I get kernel panic again?

PS Extended CS6 causing kernel panics

I've been getting one or two a week. Haven't figured out yet what triggers it, but it only happens in CS6. I did recently reinstall the entire OS, so that's clean. Here's the latest panic info the reboot generates to send to Apple. Doesn't mean anything to me, other than the panic notation near the top of the info tells you what it thinks happened.

Only OS bugs, driver bugs, or hardware problems can cause kernel panics.
Yes, that is normally the case. I brought this up here because while working in PS is the only time this happens. I know it doesn't make sense, but there it is.
Not sure why the crash report stated 10.8.0. It's incorrect on two counts. For one, I'm working in Snow Leopard, 10.6.8. I do have Mountain Lion installed on a separate drive for testing, but that already is at 10.8.2. Regardless, it's not the OS I was even in, so I don't know why it reported 10.8.0 as the kernel.
Anyway, I noticed (after posting this of course) that there was a 13.0.1 update for PS CS6. I applied that and we'll see how it goes from there as the update is noted as fixing a number of crashing problems.

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.

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.

Scanner Causing Kernel Panics

I have an old Agfa SnapScan 1212u USB scanner and up until today it has worked fine. Then suddenly it started causing Kernal Panics. It happens about 30% of the time. It scans the first 10% then throws up the Kernel Panic message and I'm forced to restart. I have run the Disk Repair Utility, repaired permissions, reinstalled the Agfa Scanwise driver, deleted all scanner related preferences and disconnected all other USB devices but nothing seems to work. The only software update I've done recently is the August and Java Security updates. Could either of these things be the problem? This is the first time I've had Kernel Panics on my Mac Mini. I doubt it's caused by the ram. It has worked flawlessly since I put in the 1GB module in July.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers
djon

Well, I downloaded Vuescan and set it up but now I have another problem. Vuescan constantly crashes. Sometimes it crashes when I'm changing settings and sometimes is crashes after a scan. I set the memory settings very high so it shouldn't be a memory issue. I've tried just about everything to get this scanner working with Vuescan. I even installed a fresh copy of Panther on my Firewire drive but it only reduced the crashes not eliminate them. I'd like to get Vuescan working because it seems to make better scans than Scanwise did. At least it doesn't cause Kernel Panics. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm beginning to think that it might be a hardware problem with the scanner.

Using 2 memory modules causes kernel panic

In early 2009 I upgraded my memory from 512 to 2 GB, 2 modules of 1GB each. This past January (just shy of 2 years later) I got a kernel panic. I tested running with a single module, and one module caused panic, the other was fine. Both slots function with the good module. So I got two new matched replacement chips from OWC, put them in and got kernel panics during the boot process. Yesterday I spent testing memory configurations and found this:
1. chip 1 alone runs fine and passes all Rember memory tests in slot 1.
2. chip 2 alone runs fine in slot 1 and 2, passes all memory tests in slot 2.
3. chips 1 and 2 together, in either slot, cause kernel panics before the OS is loaded.
Has anyone seen this problem? Will it go away if I use top of the line (Apple) memory chips?
When the kernel panics started back in January, an AppleCare advanced advisor said he had the same problem and he had to remove one module to stop the kernel panics. Running on 1GB doesn't work for me because I tend to max out the memory and programs like Mail, Safari, Photoshop, etc. become unreponsive all together.
thanks -

I have spent more time on the phone with OWC about this than I care to remember. Their latest request is that I use an eraser to clean the metal contacts on the chips; if that fails, I get to send the chips back. Whether I get a refund or yet another set of replacement chips, I don't know. They are not experts on Apple machines, that is clear.

RAID mirror with software utility caused kernel panic every time

Using disc utility to make a mirror of 2 drives, click create and i get kernel panic and have to power off machine. if i try to start the machine with either of the two disks in it (together or individually) i get same kernel panic and have to power off.
The disks are in an external storage array (sonnet d500). I have a second storage array with raided disks in and i have raided disk inside the mac too. these all work fine..
originally 2 weeks ago i had the 2 disks working in a group of 4 disks set as a mirror of 2 striped disks. One disk in this setup failed and with this config you can never 'recover'or rebuild it - you get a degraded mirror and you can backup the data, but you must completely rebuild the raid again as the mirror of stripes never lets you add a new disk in again.period. not good.
I replaced the failed disk and rebuilt the mirror of stripes. this lasted a day until a second disk failed (all 4 were bought at same time so i was kind of expecting that to happen once one failed).
i replaced the second faulty hdd and thought about my disk usage and decided i would not make another mirror of stripes and i would make 2 mirrors instead for safe-ish storage and then transfer data to a striped raid set for editing from instead of direct from the mirror of stripes volume.
i tried to delete the raid but got a kernel panic
if i started the machine with any of the 4 disks i would get a kernel panic.
i moved the disks one by one into an older G5 running Tiger and managed to erase the raid info on 2 of them. The two new ones had some strange raid info and the Tiger machien thought there was an extra disk in the machine and would not erase or partition or allow me to destroy the raid whatever i tried.
I will be moving these now into an old XP PC to try to erase the boot records etc and erase them to be able to use them again in either mac pro or G5. painful..
so.. i ended up with 2 erased drives and have 2 new drives with dodgy raid info that causes kernel panics on the leopard machine and wont go in the Tiger machine.
The two erased drives are what ive now been trying to use in the mac pro to create a mirror - this now caused kernel panics when creating the mirror to start with and when installed in the machine at all. so i will be erasing them again in the tiger machine soon (its busy erasing with zeros another new disk that i added to the Tiger machine 2 weeks ago which seems to have some fault when raided!!! but thats another story).
so.. is anyone else having problems with creating basic mirror in 10.5.4 or is it just me??
i have a sonnet tempo e4p card with 2 external sata disk enclosures, latest firmware for the e4p card. all other previously existing raid volumes are working fine. i have one set of 2 striped disks, one set of 3 striped disks and one set of 2 stripes which are mirrored - all happy and working fine. but i cant make a new mirror of 2 disks...
I phoned Apple support and they said all raid info was kept on the disk itself and nothing on the actual machine and suggested i take the machine to an apple care centre for some tlc (although its disk i am having a problem with). since all my other disk arrays work fine i don't really want to rebuild the whole machine from scratch if i can avoid it.
Any suggestions of what i can try ??

well it turns out the new disk i bought just werent any good. my g5 powermac raid mirror issue was related to one new disk with lots of bad blocks (speed tools showed that up) so i have learnt my lesson on cheap non raid disks for raid..
am waiting on a couple of new ultrastar enterprise disks to tuen up so i can go back to the macpro and try to add a mirror again.
i am still stuck wih several new disks that i cannot format now in the macpro on leopard or on the g5 powermac with tiger.
ive tried softraid and that cant do it, speedtools pcformat util cant do it, disk utility crashes when i try to eras them and diskutil from termianl starts then doenst get anywhere and my pc sata card doesnt work so my last resort pc option still doesnt help me clear the partition map on these drives - ones that diskutility on leopard made for me - and drives which still cause kernel panics on the macpro if i put them in it..
here is what diskutil says on my g5:

disk0 is the one with the bad partition info.
it thinks it has a double raid as the console shows on startup:
(both store45 and cache it thinks are on this disk - cache was my old mirror of stripes set on other machine, store45 was new name for my mirror, so seems like it hadnt deleted the original raid partition info before making new info which now kernel panics)
Jul 18 18:48:05 localhost kernel[0]: AppleRAID::degradeSet - starting the set "STORE45" (B9C48619-6B2C-4547-A01E-4864754EA7E2).

so currently i have 2 new 500gb disks which cant be partitioned back to anything at all on either machine. looks like i will have to buy a new pc to reformat them..
any suggestions of how to clear the partition map info and get them back to freespace ??

New Apple keyboard is causing kernel panic on unplugging. Workarounds?

I bought a new (wired) Apple keyboard, the slim one, some time ago to use with my Macbook (first gen) and an external display, using OS X 10.8.10. I have noticed that, after installing Apple's Keyboard Software Update, the Macbook kernel panics whenever I unplug this keyboard from the USB port.
I have had this recurring pattern several times already so I'm quite sure this Keyboard Software Update is the culprit. And it definitely isn't a third-party conflict (I just did an Erase and Install of the OS a couple of days ago). Unfortunately I don't know of a way to "undo" this update. Plus, the Macbook is my current work and home computer so, short of turning it off before unplugging the keyboard (which I'm not used to do) I feel like I'm pretty hosed on this one until Apple releases an update to this keyboard software, which is a pretty annoying issue for me already. Has anyone else been through this? Any alternate solutions?

did you try to repair permission after software and hardware update ?
try that if you haven't done that:
application / utilities / disk utility / repair permission.
Good Luck.

Readynas duo mounted over ethernet causes kernel panics

I've found out what is causing kernel panics on my machines, but i'm not sure how to resolve it. I have a g4 laptop and a new mac mini, both mount the readynas via mount_afp using a LoginHook. When the laptop or the mini go to sleep, the ethernet connection is powered off and at some point the readynas goes to sleep as well. So, when the laptop/mini wake from sleep, they have trouble re-establishing the mount to the readynas (as it needs time to spin it's drives up) and then the laptop/mini kernel panic...shouldn't this really be just a lost connection message, rather than a full fledged panic!

This is where we have a difference of opinion...If i can mount an external box over ethernet/firewire/usb and it causes the machine to kernel panic, then the software is not robust enough to handle the exception cases. Running 10.4.x for years with the same external hardware never yielded such results.

External LaCie Multi Recorder causing kernel panics since reloading OS

I just replaced my main internal hd with a new 1TB WD Caviar Black. I migrated all of my user information from my old drive via Time Machine & all seemed well. Since I did a fresh, zero out data install of the OS on the new drive, I need to reinstall my programs. Some of my older programs are kept on DVD-RAM disks that I've had since my old G4. To access these files I use my LaCie Multi recorder which was working fine prior to the HD switch.
When I put my DVD-RAM disk into the drive it's now causing kernel panics.
Anyone know what could have caused this or how I might correct the problem?
Thanks.

Okay, it seems that I've got a bad disk. I connected the drive to my laptop & used another dvd & all worked as it should. Put my program back-up disk in & it caused a panic.
New question, is there any way to repair the disk?
I've got DiskWarrior & TechTool Deluxe but I'm not sure how I might go about the repair as the panic occurs while the drive is trying to access the disk.

Rt3062 causing kernel panics

Hi all,
I've got an rt3062 chipset wireless card and it's been causing kernel panics ever since the upgrade to linux-3.0.
I was using the driver and firmware supplied by ralink and compiling it as the rt3562sta driver and it used to work great but it doesnt seem to support anything higher than kernel 2.6.39.
I'm not exactly sure which error logs to post, so...
Anybody else having this issue? and maybe find a workaround?
Thanks

I am using the same combination, successfully, with kernel 3.0.7-1. I do not recall having to do anything special to get it to work.
06:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. Device 3062
Subsystem: Ralink corp. Device 3062

ITunes causing kernel panics because I'm streaming to multiple Airplay Speakers?

Any idea what is causing kernel panics that seems to have started when I began streaming to multiple Airplay Speakers? iTunes is listed as the culprit in the crash report.

My question: is there a way to select multiple speakers from AppleTV for Airplay?
Unfortunately not.

Upgrade to osx 10.6.8 causes kernel panic on reboot

Hi friends,
Am reposting this as I have more infomration now.
Problem: Having installed the 10.6.8 upgrade, (currently running osx 10.6 on a 2009 iMac) then on reboot the machine undergoes a kernel panic.
General Observations; The machien has given ZERO problems since I bought it. The only peripherals are an USB apple keypad and an apple USB Mouse connected to the keyboards ancillary USB port.
Diagnostic actions to date;
1. Completely erased disk, created new partition, verified disk and also verified disk permissions (all good).
2. Re-installed Snow Leopard.
3. Cleared PRAM using the option-command-P-R (waited for 4 Apple Chimes).
Result: Nada !
System still crashes.
Geranal Notes: As I live in Malaysia, Lion DVD installation kit is still nto available here. So I have to upgrade to Lion via the net. However, I cannot upgrade to Lion unless I first complete ythe other 10.6 related upgrades (this is my undertanding).
Question: Anyone out there with any ideas ? What about the folks over at Apple. This is fairly basic stuff. An Apple mandated Upgrade renders an Apple Hardware platform inoperable.

A: If your machine had a completely erased hard drive and a fresh install of OS x 10.6 (no other software installed) and you got kernel panic's then it's the 10.6 disk, you'll need to clean it or get a new one from Apple.
If the new disk also produces the same problem, then it's got to be the hardware.
B: If your machine is like A, but the kernel panics started when you updated to 10.6.8 (no other software installed) then it's a bad update. Reinstall with the 10.6.8 Combo Update instead. Also c boot off the 10.6 disk and Repair Disk, the 10.6.8 update did something to the drive that it needs repair.
C: If your machine was fine on 10.6, installed third party software worked, then kernel panics started after the 10.6.8 update. Then it's compatability issues with kext files and 10.6.8 changes.
The 10.6.8 update borked a lot of third party kernel extension files (kext) installed in OS X.
What you can do is this:
Hold the Shift key down to boot into Safe Mode, this will disable the kext files from loading, backup your files off the machine (not TimeMachine) and disconnect all drives.
Go around and update all your third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8,
If you need a clue, look in your System/Library/Extensions and usually the names of the companies are on the kext file names. Sometimes copy protected software will use another companies copy protection system, so it will be under another name.
Funny thing about kext files, they are not all in the System/Library/Extensions folder to load upon boot, they can be located anywhere the program decides and loaded when the program loads.
If you have programs that are auto-launching at log-in then naturally so does it's kext files.
10.6 will run all your present software and drivers for hardware just fine, 10.7 will not and is NOT advised for older hardware. Early 2011 or later Lion is just fine, but you'll likely have to buy all new software to work with it.
Despite 2GB of RAM being Lion's minimum, 4GB is advised. Also you will need a 64 bit Intel Mac, not a 32 bit Intel Mac (no Lion for Core Duo's)
Tested, Lion is a hair slower than Snow Leopard
Check this site to make sure your third party programs are updated for Lion, not many are yet.
Some are undergoing a rewrite because Apple introduced a MacAppStore and likely told all the developers their programs will eventually have to comply with the restrictions placed there to run on Apple hardware, this means Apple is likely going to close up and we can't install software of our choice just like it is on iPads and iPhones.

Security Update 2008-004 (PPC) caused kernel panic

I installed the Security Update 2008-004 (PPC) and Safari Update 3.1.2 and now I can't access my main startup drive +(the problem started immediately after I restarted my G4 after installing the Security Update 2008-004 -- I got the gray screen with the Apple logo, but it froze there and never got to the login screen).+
My G4 PowerBook (laptop) is running the update just fine -- no kernel panics.
I have a 2nd internal HD on my G4 (desktop) that I use for just such emergencies. The only difference is the 2nd HD does NOT have the Security Update 2008-004 (PPC) and Safari 3.1.2 update. +(Last security update was Security Update 2008-003.)+
I did gain access to my main startup HD at one point and it worked fine until I shut it down +(I unplugged all peripherals (FireWire and USB) and, somehow, got it to startup correctly, then I plugged everything back in).+
*But, the next day, I was back to square 1 when I didn't unplug all my peripherals.*
If I have to unplug everything to startup every time, then I'm going to yank my hair out!
The Mac OS Update software is surely to blame for the kernel panic, 'cause I don't have to do it for the 2nd HD without the 2008-004 Security Update.
Plus, once my G4 is up and running on the 2nd HD, I have total access to my main startup HD. TechTool Pro (v.4.1.1) found no problems with any of the files on it, including the Volumes and Finder Info files, which all tested free of any errors.
According to the not-so-helpful advice from "experts," I'll need to reinstall the MAC OS 10.4.x.
HOWEVER, I want to know if I start from my original DVD 10.4.3 install disk, what happens when I start installing all the updates, including the Security Updates?
*Do I STOP at Security Update 2008-003 (PPC)?*
Because I DON'T want to reinstall the OS or my applications over again and AGAIN!
Apple, PLEASE, fix this Security Update!

Hi again!
I'd have been asleep maybe a few hours ago, if not for
the late fireworks (from 3 PM until about 12AM) - so,
I am awake and a bit peeved at the scofflaws blasting
many illegal fireworks near my second home in the city.
(Normally, I live in a mostly quiet and beautiful mountain
area that is very Alaska; the largest city is not so nice.)
Back to your inquiry; if you start up in SafeBoot (hold
shift key down until you get Login screen and it says
SafeBoot; then login) and repair disk permissions
before installing the Combo 10.4.11 update, as a
standalone download file with the package on the
desktop; it should work.
Whether or not it would actually resolve the issue is
yet another matter. There could be an underlying
problem which may be better resolved if you could
make a bootable complete computer drive clone
of the hard disk drive contents, and either see if
a third party utility can scan and fix the hard disk
drive (if it is the problem) or you could get a new
one; and then -either way- clone back the system
onto a new or repaired hard disk drive.

The issues in kernel panics and their resolutions

few steps that involve troubleshooting; not any
one may be the 'answer' yet the issue may be

Something to read through & consider carefully:

{There may be some other hardware or ?? cause
behind the kernel panics and so it would be a
good idea to have a clone of your drive's content
on a bootable external FireWire enclosed HDD.
-I like mine, it has its own power supply and is
not reliant on the USB or FireWire to get power
from the computer; which could be faulty...}
Good luck & happy computing!
