Boot camp - Kernel panic

Hi all,
I have problem with Boot camp. When Boot Camp *start partitioning disk*, *Karnel Panic appears*. I rapaired disk from Install DVD, but after that *same issue happend*.
I have 120GB HDD, 32GB free and want 15GB for WinXP.
Have anybody same problem? Have solution?
Thanks a lot.

Backup. Reformat. Restore.
If you don't have a bootable external drive, might want to have a small partition to boot from, and 2nd partition for your backup. Otherwise use Leopard DVD -> Utilities and Disk Utility (Restore). Make sure it is bootable and works, then restore back.
SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner make great backup and bootable clones, too.

MacBook Pro (Boot Camp) kernel panics, application crashes

I'm currently using a mid-2012 15-inch MacBook Pro with Windows 7 Home Premium installed via Boot Camp. Most of my daily activities before last week were playing games on Steam (for both Mac and Windows), editing videos in iMovie (Mac), and browsing the internet on Google Chrome (both). However, starting last Thursday, September 20th, at random intervals, my programs kept crashing without any sort of heads-up or computer slowdown leading into them. This was occurring on Mac with Safari, Steam and iMovie, and on Windows with the newly installed Borderlands 2, Steam, and Skype. Not to mention, Google Chrome's Shockwave was crashing every 15 minutes or less, and the "Oh Snap!" error page popped up without me doing anything on the pages that crashed (both on Mac and Windows).
To add to the problem, I was given my first blue screen after a string of application crashes last Thursday, and soon after upon switching to Mac, I received a kernel panic. From what my friends and I have researched, this has happened due to memory corruption, seeing as how the blue screen errors all had codes relating to that, like 0x0000003B and 0xc0000005. However, no matter what I've tried to fix this, be it cleaning the Windows Registry, using MemTest to see if the RAM caused this, running Disk Utility on Mac, running the Apple Hardware Test, or uninstalling/removing potential malware, nothing has seemed to work. Borderlands 2 keeps crashing at random intervals, Safari still quits while a YouTube video is still playing, and most annoyingly, I get kernel panics and blue screens while I'm talking to my friends on Skype.
Another interesting problem is that I can't install a Mac OS X 10.7.5 update; it tells me the downloaded file was corrupted every time I try download it and it can't install as a result. I'm stuck on Mac OS X 10.7.4. Yet I'm able to install Windows updates without any problem whatsoever. Why is this?
My question is, is it best to take this in for repair, or is there something else I can do to fix this that I haven't tried yet? I don't consider myself to be any good with the computers I use, so I have no idea if I should have seen/identified the error already.

sorry, i am not really able to read and understand this. the panics dont seem to relate to airport. i am using airport the whole day and the first 8 days with my MBP were error-free, except the whine.

1st series iMac G5: Booting problems, kernel panics, waking from sleep...

Specifications of the iMac described: 1.8 Ghz, 1GB, 80GB, 64 Mb Nvidia VRAM, Airport, 10.5.5
Back in August 2004 my dad bought us kids an iMac G5 for ‘family use’. It had a fresh install of 10.3.5 on it and compared to the (1999) iMac G3 it replaced it was amazingly fast.
The iMac never showed any signs of probable issues, until we decided to upgrade to Leopard in January 2008. Initially, this upgrade was only meant to be able to sync with the latest iPod nano (who demanded a newer version of iTunes).
After the installation the first thing I noticed was a high CPU usage, the machine seemed slower than ever and that with 1 Gb of RAM (the minimum sys. req. for Leopard are 512 Mb of RAM). Anyway, then the real thing started, it wouldn’t turn on anymore. We brought it to an Authorized Apple Reseller, the Tech department said the Logic board had failed. The costs of the fix weren’t the worth the computer anymore, so...end of story. The iMac was indeed one of the bad series, although it hadn’t any swollen capacitors.
My dad already made up his mind and bought himself a Macbook. He then told me that if I was able to get the broken iMac fixed, I could keep it. And so, I bought an ‘as-is’ logic board on Ebay. Last weekend I installed it, and it actually seemed to work! Yet, the problems are during the startup: the first thing I see is a screen full with horizontal lines flickering all the time, like an old TV with bad signal. Mostly it won’t boot and I get the message to restart the computer (kernel panic, I got dozens of logs already!). Sometimes it got stuck during booting (grey apple screen with gear in the middle) making the fans go crazy (after a while) and sounding what others describe as a ‘jetliner taking off’ sound. Sometimes the screen remains black. Generally it takes me 5 to 10 minutes to start up properly. Maybe it’s just me but it seems like when the computer has warmed up a little (by turning on and off on and on) starting up gets smoother. I mean the startup screen suffers from less horizontal flickering lines.
During the use of Leopard, I again get high CPU usage, especially when I use multiple programs at the same time, or when starting multiple programs. My iStat Pro said once that the fans were running at 4700 rpm and the heat of the CPU was about 70 Celsius. If I really want to **** my iMac off I should play a racing game. That just totally freaks him out! These problems could probably be solved by adding more RAM. Right?
The iMac also has a sleep problem. Sometimes after lets say an hour or so, you can’t get it out of sleep mode (by manipulating keyboard and/or mouse, the sleep light stops, but the screen stays off --> only solution is to restart). What happened to me once was that it slept so long that it just got into a deep sleep by turning itself off completely!
Here’s a list of what I tried so far:
- Disk Utility: Resetting the permissions, no problems were found.
- Resetting the SMU, both on the logic board itself as by pressing the power button 5 - 8 seconds, no improvements.
- Resetting the PRAM, no improvements.
- Did the Hardware test of the original install CD, nothing was found, all good.
- Did Archive and Instal, this actually messed my system entirely, cause it wouldn't boot at all and when starting up from the Leopard installation DVD it wouldn't recognize the Macintosh HD.
- Did Archive and Instal with the original disks, this disk did recognize Macintosh HD and so I installed the original system, 10.3. Booting problems and those flickering lines are still there though.
Next phase will be erase and install, but first I want to know what you guys think about all this.
Oh eh, One more thing; The guys at Applecare (phone support) told me that the replaced logic board was also out of warranty and so they couldn’t help me. But as the man on the phone was kind, he told me to go look for a special ‘driver’ on the net. He said that the driver should be able to resolve some of the issues described. He said that I had to give in the name of the LB on google and look for results. Is this bogus? Because I haven’t found anything useful on google so far. What’s the name (rather than a number) of the LB in the first place?
I hope you guys can give me some answers. I'm kinda desperate. But I still feel there's hope...

The symptoms of a flakey power supply are sleep problems and you have done all the right things as far as resetting the SMU and PRAM. Your CPU usage can be tracked by going to Utilities>Activity Monitor - look and see what is hogging the memory. The flickering lines could also be an optical system going south.
The other thing you can do is run DiskWarrior or TechToolPro to see if you have corrupted directories. Preferential Treatment will let you check for corrupted preferences.

MacPro 1,1 10.6.8 won't boot after kernel panic

I apologize for the long post, but figured I'd lay out the whole scenario.
I had a kernel panic in Safari yesterday. Powered down. Powered on. Message appeared saying to power down, and restart again. Did that. Then the fun started. The restart was slower than normal, with each screen (gray, blue, Snow Leopard background screen) slow to come up and move to next. Finally, it stopped on the Snow Leopard screen but the login screen never appeared.
I have my fair share of kernel panics, sometimes triggered by something Virus Barrier is guarding against, sometimes for other reasons. I regularly save the reports but can't say off the top of my head that I know of something that could be implicated in this present issue.
Since this issue surfaced, I've tried multiple interventions to no avail. I used Disk Warrior to rebuild the directory and optimize the disk, both reported by the software as successful. The SMART status of the disk was normal. Verified and repaired permissions. As is typical, some were reported but nothing noticeably out of the ordinary. Still not able to reboot.
Used Apple's Disk Utility to check the status of the drive, and ran through the other available diagnostic tests. Still not able to reboot.
Among different attempts to restart, sometimes it stopped at blue screen, sometimes at Snow Leopard default background screen image.
Reset PRAM. Still no reboot. Booted into Single user mode/verbose mode. Then fsck -fy. The second time I ran the latter, it reported "FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED" and I ran fsck -fy once more.
The report on screen in Single User mode showed some things I don't know how to interpret. Lines of the report beginning with "AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= " were as follows:
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id=0 LocalApicId=0
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id=0 LocalApicId=1
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id=0 LocalApicId=7
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id=0 LocalApicId=6
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id=0 LocalApicId=0
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id=0 LocalApicId=0
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id=0 LocalApicId=0
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id=0 LocalApicId=0
Other things from the report:
• Mac Framework successfully initialized using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers
• BSD root: disk1s2, major 14, minor 5
• jnl: unknown-dev
• com.apple.launched 1 com.apple.launched1 *** launched[1] has started up. ***
Do things in this list look normal? Any red flags?
As it stands now, none of the measures have enabled the computer to reboot. When I power on it goes straight to the default Snow Leopard screen. Oddly, if I power it off but then later go back and hit the space bar, such as one would do when the computer has been idle and the computer or screen has gone to sleep, the computer instantly powers itself on. Likewise, trying to power on and hold down the "c" key to attempt to boot from the system CD to Disk Utility does the same thing. That's really odd. Powering on via any key on keyboard is not expected behavior!
So ... what I most want to determine is:
• Were Disk Warrior and Disk Utility mistaken in reporting that the hard drive is functioning normally? Was it actually failing?
• Did the fsck -fy routine, with the reported action "FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED," hasten it to its death?
• Is it more likely that the processor or some other major hardware issue is involved?
The computer is old, and has been more fitful over the past 6 months or so, but I've also had more issues with Virus Barrier forcing kernel panics during that same time, so it's been hard to say whether it was the computer that was acting wonky or Virus Barrier causing the wonkiness.
I just need to know whether I should wipe and reformat the existing WD disk, go buy a new disk to format, or give up on the computer and order a new MacPro model to replace it. If the latter was undertaken, I would really prefer to get the old MacPro functioning long enough to have use of it while I can complete an order and get something new set up. I have some tasks that I need to be getting done and data that I need to access to take of other tasks. I have a current Time Machine back up. But now that I can't even boot from Disk Utility, it seems I will have to buy another drive to do the interim solution.
I would very, very appreciative of any expert advice.
Debbie

Hi hatter,
Good to talk with you again about my Mac Pro 1,1. Can't believe I still have this stalwart machine, but it just keeps on keepin' on.
I have a Mac Box Set with Snow Leopard. That's the disk I was using Disk Utility from. I did the hardware tests that I saw among the tools available when one boots from the disk. Could be I'm missing something.
While I was waiting for a reply from someone at Discussions, I went looking at Walmart for an SATA disk. They were completely out of them due to local storms that fried a lot of people's computers and hardware. It's a small town. Not a lot of options. So I came back home and thought I'd try again to boot from the Apple DVD. That time it worked. I was going to do a restore from the Time Machine backup, but then decided to just reinstall the OS from the DVD and see what happened. Clean seemed better than dirty, you know?
At any rate, I installed the OS - to the same WD Caviar Black hard disk. When it restarted, everything came up looking back to normal, except that I need to update to 10.6.8 and reinstall iWork apps and other Apple add-ons as needed. Oh what a relief it is!
I would like to do some hardware testing though. If you can advise, I would appreciate it.

Macbook kernel panic during boot + other kernel panics! HELP PLEASE

Hello,
I have a w macbook 2,0 ghz duo (2006 edition), 2gb ram, original HD. Operating system: Tiger OsX (updated).
A couple of weeks ago my mb started to display (during a normal session and even after a stand-by) a big message on screen "Please hold down the power button to restart your computer" etc = kernel panic message.
I took a look at the panic.log file and it said:
BSD process name corresponding to current thread: firefox-bin
So I thought there was something with firefox and, to resolve definetely this problems, I checked my hd using utility then I tried to install Leopard using the DVD(updated again). After installing Leopard I did not receive kernel panic errors related to firefox-bin thread but now I still have kernel panic problems.
These are the error messages:
1. When I boot up the mb, it shows the "restart" message or it FREEZES (doesn't boot up)
2. The log says that the panic error is related to "ACPI" and Io.apple.firewirefamily (what is it???)
3. The panic.log file just says:

Now it is difficult just to enter mac osx because I'm experiencing MANY kernel panics!!
Anyone know how to fix these problems?
Thank you very much

mmm... still having firefox-bin panic errors...

MacBook Pro Won't Boot. Kernel Panic. Only Windows Partition Works

So one day I was using my mac when it froze for no apparent reason, i was just running iTunes, so i held the power key and it shut down. After a while, i turned it back on and it got to the apple but then i got a bunch of errors i guess, around the lines of kernel panic. So i went online and read other peoples problems but none of them seamed to work. It wont start up normally, not in safe mode, recovery drive wont boot, only the windows partition works. i reset my PRAM i think its called and that failed. someone online said to re-install lion. i dont have a lion recovery usb thingy, but i have a lion disk, but my disk drive no longer works due to hardware damage. so i need to back up my files from my mac partition and re-install lion OR just get rid of the Kernel Panic Thingy.
ps. everytime i try to boot mac, i get a different error message.
any help is greatly appreciated

Are you willing to lose the data that isn't backed up? If not, you have to try to back up now, before you do anything else.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup; 10.7 or later), from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup; 10.7.2 or later), or from your installation disc (C key at startup; 10.6.8 or earlier.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

Netboot clients boot into kernel panic

After upgrading my 10.4 server to 10.5 I created a new 10.5 boot image from a new MacBook. Clients (including the Macbook used to create the image) attempting to boot just go to a kernel panic. So, I created a new image from a 10.5.1 retail CD. Same results. both images created using image creation tool on the server.
Then I created another boot image on a new iMac with server tools installed (and updated). boot image was copied to server. Same result.
This is Apple Case #103074193. So far all data is flowing from me to them-nothing coming back.
If you have any insights into this I sure would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks
Jim Pattison

I have an XServe G5 that was upgraded from 10.4.x to 10.5.4, and this alone did not fix the problem. I also had to stop the NFS file sharing service and restart it. The problem was hit-or-miss, but seemed to affect mostly my G5 iMacs, none of the Intel iMacs experienced a kernel panic when netbooting. I'm not sure why it wasn't affecting all of my netboot clients, probably only 25-30% of my G5 iMacs ever had a problem, but those that did were always a problem. Thanks for putting me on the right track with the original solution, I would have never guessed this to be a server-side issue.

Booting to Kernel Panic cannt boot from a cd/dvd. HELP!

Hello everyone.
My computer boot to the Kernel error. I can’t boot from the installation CD\DVD or from a firewire HD. but I can boot from a different computer using my laptop HD when pressing T while booting.
I can boot to open firmware, I tried to reset the nvram, it worked once but not anymore.
I went to apple store and they told me that the logic board need to be replaced, I still think it’s a software problem.
Please help,

PowerBook G4 17" Mac OS X (10.4.4)

hi there
ive bought a 17" powerbook 1GIG, 512(UPDATED TO 512 X 2), 60 , SUPERDRIVE model.its a 2003 model but came with no original disks, and installed with OS TIGER.I wanted to install OS classic, so like an idiot - i removed applications from the hard drive and the blue network symbol.the hard drive icon then vanished and i could not open applications.So i re-started the machine, it now comes on with the welcome tune ,then you see the grey apple logo,then from top to bottom a dark grey covers the screen with the instructions in the middle to"restart computer".there is half a screen of programme text and at the top it reads "unable to find driver for this platform"
also it states "panic at the bottom.
Will i be able to sort this problem if i had the original disks so i can reinstall everything.ive tried to install copies of classic and jaguar-no luck.
can you give me directions into ways of re-booting/safe mode/target mode.or is all of this a waiste of time if i don not have the orighinal disks that came with my powerbook.do you know anywhere where i can get a copy from.
do you know of a company that can sell me the original disks or copies.Please help as i desperately need to use my computer been a graphic designer.
hope you can help.
thankyou,jason

Strange pink squares while booting and then kernel panic

Hello everybody.
This is my boot screen. It began 2 days ago when I tried to update Mac OS to version 10.6.8 v 1.1. When I start my MBP after 2 minutes it hangs. If I try to boot again the history repeats. When I boot from SnowLeo DVD (version 10.6.3) after 3-4 minutes of waiting (spinning wheel spins) I receive kernel panic message. After it I try to boot again and everything works. I tried to repair my HDD with Disk Utility (seems like it was needed to be repaired) but problem still present. I afraid to switch off my Mac. Any suggestions what could it be?
P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I was too lazy to learn it well.

Boot sequence kernel panics before the appearance of the login screen or desktop are almost always hardware related, unless a specific driver was installed or specific hardware was connected which wasn't before. That it is coupled with a graphics display issue that often is chip related, says it is hardware related, since the only thing that controls the graphics on the boot screen is the graphics chip itself.

MBP won't boot kernel panic

Hello good people
Out of nowhere my MacBook Pro has been acting funny. I have no clue to why this happened, but it happened after I rebooted the machine after Chrome started hanging while trying to purchase something. Chrome didn't crash or freeze, but no connections were working. I don't know for sure that my internet connection was working though. Anyway I figured I would close everything and try the ol' reboot trick, but when it booted a kernel panic happened. Since then a kernel panic happens every time I boot the machine. The panic logs are very similar though they don't match exactly.
Here are 4 of them on pastebin:
First: http://pastebin.com/UEVGr2RA
Second: http://pastebin.com/3EPPpJWQ
Third: http://pastebin.com/iVKZD87h
Fourth: http://pastebin.com/MEuUxWDt
I have tried resetting NVRAM and the SMC. Neither worked.
I can't boot in safe mode, but I can boot from an external hard drive connected via USB. Last week I installed an SSD drive and cloned my old harddrive, so I have a pretty similar setup on hand. It's the SSD drive that fails to boot.
The Disk Utility doesn't see anything wrong with either the permissions or the drive in general.
The disk mounts fine in Finder and I can seemingly browse all the data on there.
I removed the Little Snitch kext when I saw that on the first to panic logs right, but that didn't help either.
I tried the 'sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions' trick. Didn't help.
I am beginning to lean towards a reinstall but I really don't want to if I can avoid it, so I thought I'd throw it at the community. I hope someone out there can help. My own theory is that a file or something is corrupted and since I've got the same installation (albeit about a week old) I think I could replace the broken part if I can find out what it is.
Thanks in advance!

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Let's solve this kernel panic :)

OK here it is, just the facts.
Imac Intel slot-loading 20” Flatpanel, exactly as I bought it 2yrs ago from applestore(haven’t touched any RAM or ever opened the computer)
Safari 10.4.1x (recently downloaded the most recent updates)
No backups, so I cannot Erase and Reinstall, my son’s pictures are on here. Save your flames for someone else.
I was running a disk-burning utility and the Itunes cover art screensaver was on (the screensaver being my most probable suspect for crash because of its documented bugginess, but the cause is moot for me at this point.) I came back to my mac to check the progress and the screen was frozen on the screensaver (I want to note that the hue of the screensaver was pinkish as opposed to the actual color of the “album covers”, a not too subtle hint that somethin’ ain’t right) At this point nothing worked but a hard shutdown by holding the power button. Upon restart, kernel panic. Sigh
After several days of reading forums I present to you my not so unique, but as of yet unsolved problem, and a list of what I have tried unsuccessfully to do to resolve it. I am pasting this in several forums hoping to resolve it so you can search if someone does come up with a solution. Pardon me if I mix up cmd, option, ctrl, and alt…I am using a PC keyboard. I know what keys to press through trial and error at this point, I just don’t know what they’re called on macs :P ..
-zapped PRAM, take note a mac “compatible” keyboard is needed for this (Logitech g15 doesn’t work for this task, but the cheapie Logitech “Classic”200 does, focus on the problem people)
-C after startup to boot Installation disk and running Disk utility/Repair Disk gives error
Checking HFSPlus volume
/red catalog file entry not found for extent
Volume check failed
Error: The underlying task reported failure
Techtool Deluxe showed error in repairing the volume and directory tests, the rest passed
The partition which previously held Windows and has now been erased and formatted in an unsuccessfull attempt to install a copy of OSX onto reports as “no problems detected”: Attempts to erase this partition and install OSX onto it result in errors
-Shift(safe mode) gives kernel panic
-cmd/alt-O/F Firmware boot gives kernel panic
-T at startup makes a target disk I guess but since I don’t have several mac computers laying around this isn’t a viable option atm
-cmd/V (Verbose mode) loads the info below and stops
-cmd /S (Single User Mode) does the same as verbose mode, I am unable to type at the prompt, it is essentially frozen at the end
-Option at startup only gives kernel panic
-Archive and Reinstall-The main hard drive won’t mount so it seems all I will be able to do is erase that partition
- I think I covered all of them, If I missed something, it didn’t help, either :P
-I tried a brief attempt at giving myself a crash course in terminal bash commands, but decided to do this before I rack my brain over that (as a last resort I will learn to program another **** language that will become useless in a few years before I erase my son’s pictures)…..the terminal is the only place I could run a fsck but it just returns the next prompt, no sign that it did anything,
-I have heard that occasionally some people’s KP’s “resolve themselves”. I am not sure if this is while the panic screen is showing or just on a successive reboot. I would love for that to happen here. That would be BCS(Best Case Scenario)
Following is what appears when I start in Verbose or Single-user mode

It seems if I choose to use the install disks option to startup to the install disk then I can properly boot into single user mode in which fsck does work but it checks the install disk and not the HD, any way to switch that? is the HD "mounted at this point?

Well, either way you will probably be spending a little money and more time on
the Mac project; the difference in buying a relatively inexpensive external FW
HDD and learning how to use it (and have it for backups and doing your own
tech work) -- or -- not having it, and paying someone who does have those tools
on-hand, is you won't have the hardware or ability to backup your stuff, or fix it.
You can get a good FW enclosed backup hard disk drive of reliable quality
from Other World Computing and use free Carbon Copy Cloner. You have
the computer's bootable install disc with its own Disk Utility & tools in it.
I like my LaCie 250GB FireWire externally enclosed (self contained including
a separate power supply; it can boot and run my Macs from clones I made)
and there is room enough for more than two complete computer content clones.
Bootable exact images of the entire contents of the machines.
Had I paid for a tech to do the troubleshooting (48 hours at a time, for three
months) on the one Mac, there is no way I could have afforded the computer
or the tech bill. And I found out things through doing for myself that my friends
who use Windows machines (and they take them apart, and curse them) don't
yet understand. The cure for the few Mac issues outside of some large part
failure, is to be self-sufficient in the things a user CAN do. Then the shop visit
is a rarer event, and money spent on hardware is better than on gasoline.
Gasoline here varies, on the road system from over $4 a gallon (near $5 diesel)
up to nearly $7-$9 a gallon where fuels are barged or air flown in. Think about that
when or if you eat any salmon caught in Alaskan waters... Most of the fleet is
sitting in the docks, so driving in a modern city is a matter of greater efficiency
and foresight. You could take a chance on that $1200. hydrogen cell kit's claims!
Good luck & happy computing!
PS: are you sure that you didn't spring for that AppleCare extended protection plan
back in the first year of ownership where it could have cost you maybe $160. and
added up to three years of extra coverage and tech support? If you did an enrolled it
then it would be a matter of getting the computer to an authorized shop for service.

HT4561 What can I do to get the 10.6.8 update to install WITHOUT causing a Kernel Panic?

Every time I try to install the 10.6.8 update my iMac boots a Kernel Panic and I have to do a recovery and patches all the way back up to 10.6.7
Then when I try the 10.6.8 update again, I get another Kernel Panic. It takes hours and hours to download the updates required to return to 10.6.7 from what my recovery CD contains and after three tries I'm about to give up!
What is going on that 10.6.8 causes a Kernel Panic on boot-up?!?
I have a Mid-2007 24" iMac and I don't use Bootcamp or Parrellels or anything interesting or fun. This computer is primarlly used for email, browsing (Firefox) and playing Minecraft.
The reason I want the update is that I'm afraid Mojang (Minecraft) will soon require a Java update and without the 10.6.8 update and installing Lion I can not get a Java update.

I have been reading the related posts and have found none of the suspect files. (mouse-related.ktext, CHUD related ktext files)
I deleted the Logictec mouse/keyboard drivers and stuff and also am deleting my 3rd party Magic Mouse driver.
As soon as I read something definite about this I will try another update.
I do not own a Time Machine so restoring from a backup is not happening.
I will be required (should another panic occure) to go through the entire update process again.
I curious, what would hacking on the forums have to do with 10.6.8 updates on user machines?
Also, is Apple Corporation addressing the "issues of late with 10.6.8 updates"?

The system is a dual PIII using the arch ISO 7.1 release.
Any thoughts on what is wrong with my setup? Or something I can try. I'm game for just about anything in my test environment to try and get it working.
Thanks,

After the basketball games where over tonight I had a thought (and a little research). The install iso I was using was a pre-release of 0.7.1. When I downloaded the real mccoy and did a fresh install following the instructions on the wiki, all worked flawlessly!

Kernel panic and lost saturday after friday night update

Last night I made upadate before I went to sleep and this morning my MacBook Pro 13" could not boot. Kernel panic:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff8000648e1b):unable to find driver for this platform
I tried to recovery from time mashine backup but it ended with a spining wheel of death.
after that I tried to reinstal 10.7 Lion and after 3h I've got my "old" system without permission to even open my desktop. The most iritating detail was that every time i set up "tap" function on the trackpad it would last as far as preferences are opened sometimes even shorter so i had to click like some kind of caveman |-(
Now I'm trying to maka a clean install so, please, wish me luck!
How could that happen? Is enyone responsable lesft in the Apple since Steve Jobs is gone?

Boot Camp causes Kernel Panics on Startup

Hi all,
I just purchased a new MBP. I had installed everything and transferred all of my files from my previous notebook (via Time Machine). System was working very well.
I wanted to install a windows partition via boot camp. used Boot Camp Assistant to create a 50GB partition (leaving >200GB of free space on my main partition) for windows 7. Installed this perfectly fine.
Started up OS X again, and was using that for the rest of the day. Played a game in Boot Camp for an hour or so just now. Now, every time I try to boot to my OS X (10.6.4) partition, it kernel panics. Grey curtain of death.
I booted into the backup disc, and repaired the drive using Disk Utility. This found some errors and supposedly fixed them. Permission repair went likewise. Still no luck booting into OS X (but I can use the Windows 7 Ultimate x64 partition just fine).
While trying to resolve this issue, I tried to reinstall OS X over the partition that would not boot up. Erased ONLY that partition and tried to install. Install appeared to work fine, but when not booting from the CD (after the installation finished) it panicked again.
The only way to resolve the issue was to completely repartition the drive and reinstall OS X.
Has anyone else had this problem, and resolved it? I would really like to be able to use boot camp...

I would recommend cloning your system to another drive in addition or instead of using TimeMachine so you have a bootable backup. Also for booting from to run repairs, and if/when you turn to 3rd party disk repair programs like Disk Warrior.
I suspect it has more to do with 10.6.4.
Did you install the Apple SETUP drivers and such in Windows 7? the Boot Camp 3.0.x and 3.1? your OEM DVD has those, and likely has more current than what was provided last year even.
Panics are often external USB cables, devices, RAM, but hardware, and sometimes from drivers. But I doubt it has to do with Windows 7.
