Constant Kernel Panic & disk repair - can I fix, or off to genius bar?

Hi - hope someone can help… (and apologies in advance if i do this wrong - first time!)
In the last week I noticed most mornings that my macbook air had restarted - (once i did some googling I understood) the reports showed that these were kernel panics. 
I was in the process of getting a new external hd to use for time machine, and to do a clone on (existing NAS that had been doing time machine had recently played up a lot).  Got Seagate Backup Plus portable - partitioned/reformatted fine - went to clone and got an error at the end that I needed to run disk utitility to repair.  Tried verifying - got the following message
This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.
Tried to do this - but it never gets to the Apple logo (5 minutes of holding keys - I thought that was long enough for nothing to be happening!).  Tried the internet recovery version too of command-option-r and got the same, i.e. nothing.
In the meantime, the kernel panics are getting ridiculously frequent…
I had wondered if the restarts had been happening during the week as I had Parallels running (which it normally isn't).  But even after quitting parallels… and pretty much every other app, I was still getting the restart.
One of the latest reports below.
Is this something I can fix myself (I'm not a techie - but i do follow instructions very well )  OR is it going to be a complex and/or convoluted process that I'm better off getting done at a genius bar? (I live a couple of hours from nearest genius bar, hence it's do-able if that's best option, but I'm willing to try myself if it's not too nasty)
Thanks in advance!

  • Constant kernel panic in regular boot sequence - HELP!

    Hi,
    I purchased my mac pro in march of 08. By june, my monitor had begun emitting a pink hue over everything. I replaced the monitor only to find that the problem was related to the computer itself, the pink color persisted on the new monitor. So I started using the one other working monitor port and researching the problem. I heard from a couple people that it sounded like a problem with my video card. It continued to worsen, the crash rate started to escalate slowly over a period of 4-5 months. Now it consistently crashes within 5 minutes of booting up, usually crashing immediately when the interface loads or shortly beforehand.
    I took it into an apple certified technician to have it looked at. I brought only the computer itself since the problem had persisted on multiple monitors. One week later, they told me there was nothing wrong with the video card and they couldn't reproduce the problems i had described. So i bought a new vga/dvi converter and brought it home only to find the EXACT same issues on both monitor ports, pink screen or constant kernel panic.
    So I zapped the PRAM 3 times, reset the power source, cleaned out the inside of the computer, played chinese firedrill with my ram cards, and rebooted in safemode. It FINALLY WORKS but ONLY in safemode which leads me to believe there is a faulty system extension or driver that is causing the kernel panic.
    What is the simplest way to resolve this problem? I can't spend 5 hours isolating the possible .kext files. Will upgrading my OS to leopard fix these issues, i.e. replace the system extensions with new files that might eliminate the problem?
    I appreciate anyone that can offer help. Thanks!

    Thanks BDAqua for your feedback!
    I checked the panic log and the system log but still can't see what might be causing the problem. I tried booting from disk by pushing the 'd' key directly after the startup beep and before the gray screen appears to no avail. I also tried the 'c' key, command-'d', and option-'d' to no avail. When i access the bootdisk from the volume on my desktop and click 'install mac os x' i get the following error:
    "Mac os 10.4 cannot be installed on this machine. Please consult the documentation for a list of supported Macintosh computers."
    This seems odd since i am running 10.4.11. Below is a sample entry from the kernel panic log and the correlated logs from system log at the time of the panic. Is there anything else i can do? I don't understand why the mac tech support wasn't able to reproduce these debilitating problems.

  • Constant Kernel Panics in PowerMac G5...

    My uncle's PowerMac G5 is having constant kernel panics, almost every time it's turned on. Does repairing permissions in disk utilities, is a good step to ry and fix the problem?
    The computer is running leopard 10.5.

    You did not say how much time elapses after startup before the G5 experiences a Kernel Panic. Given the age of the machine, it is possible that your Uncle's G-5 needs a good internal cleaning.
    Do not just blow out the dust with an aerosol. That leaves a dust film on the surface of the electronic components which acts as an insulator. I suggest that you remove all boards and vacuum them separately using a soft brush head. Pay particular attention to graphics cards with fans mounted on the GPU. These accumulate an unbelievable amount of dust. Blow them out first then vacuum.
    Don't forget the CPUs. Remove the aluminum covers and clean the visible surfaces. The covers a very flimsy so be careful when removing and replacing them or they will not snap back into place when you put the machine back together.

  • Constant Kernel Panics on Mavericks 10.9.5

    Hey Everyone,
    I really hope someone out there can help me out because these recent kernel panics I've been getting are driving me crazy because they always happen right in the middle of some important project I'm working on.
    Before I share the latest kernel panic diagnostic let me give you a bit of history on my computer. I'm running a late 2011 MBP with Mavericks 10.9.5. I had issues with the logic board in the past and got it replaced. I've only had the computer for a little over 2-2.5 years now, and started noticing lots of issues with it after an overall short period of time, mainly related to performance. The computer would run hot with the fans blazing just from watching an HD video on Youtube. Admittedly I do heavy graphics work with Adobe software and 3D apps like Cinema4D. Some of the research I've been doing regarding these kernel panics has lead me to believe that this could potentially be a heating issue. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I decided that I would install more RAM in the computer, bringing it up from 8GB to 16GB. Apparently this Macbook model was only sold with a max of 8GB of RAM, but I heard that it could handle up to 16. So maybe this is potentially the issue, I am running more RAM than I'm "supposed" to, even though the system can technically handle it. Other people have reported issues with the Radeon graphics card (I've got the 6770 M installed).
    It doesn't end there though, unfortunately. About two months or so ago I started having major problems with Dashboard. After running processor intensive applications (it would seem), Dashboard would start eating up crazy amounts of memory, stalling all my running programs. Some people said that turning off apps within Dashboard that constantly received data (like the weather app for example) could be causing this. I did that, but it didn't help. I would have to constantly go into Application Manager and kill Dashboard. Eventually I got fed up with doing this and found out how to permanently turn it off. That helped with the memory issues. But THEN the kernel panics started happening. They had happened very rarely in the past, but now it is literally every 2-3 days. And the last bit of info I can share to hopefully help someone figure this problem out for me is that I think the last two times they happened, it was while I was in the middle of typing up a document in Open Office. It definitely did just happen while using Open Office, but I can't confirm the previous one. I am going to be very careful to note exactly which application I am using when it happens from here on out.
    Here's the Apple Diagnostic report from the last one:

    I took a look into the Library/StartupItems folder and I can see the "tun" folder which correspondes to that foo.tun process. Should I just delete the folder? Doesn't seem to be any way to turn it "off". Also, I'm not sure how to turn off or disable Google Chrome Helper. I've been reading from various other people that it has been causing memory leak issues, but couldn't find any way to disable it. Some even said that after they uninstalled Chrome, the Helper app was still running. What should I do about that? Thanks.

  • Constant Kernel Panic in OS X! HELP!

    Hey All!
    I got major problems with my Mac Pro.
    I continue to get Kernel Panic duing Software Update, Moving big amounts of files around, using different applications (everything from apple apps, games and Photoshop/Modo).
    I just reinstalled my comp and resettet my harddisk (wrote all zeroes to it) and got Grey Screen Of Death (please restart your computer) again. I booted my Mac Pro up as external harddisk and used my iBook disk utility to write zeroes to my Mac Pro Harddisk and it worked. Now after installing OS X, it supricingly crashed again with kernel panic.
    I did a hardware test using the DVD's i got with my Mac Pro. It said everything was in perfect order :/

    All help is much appriciated! Sorry for my bad english.
    I dont know what to do to get rid of this constant kernel panic shutdowns
    Please write if you need more information. At the moment i dont know what to do.

    First you cannot format the Mac Pro using Disk Utility on your iBook. You need to use the Disk Utility on the OS X Installer Disc that came with the Mac Pro. Insert the OS X Installer Disc (Mac Pro) then restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the "C" key until the gray startup screen with the dark gray Apple logo appears. Release the key when the spinning gear appears.
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Option button and select the GUID partition scheme option then click on OK. Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now proceed to install OS X.
    If the computer kernel panics when starting from the DVD then there is likely a hardware problem. You can run the hardware test by again restarting with the OS X Installer Disc and after the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the hardware test screen appears. I suggest you run the long tests to see if any hardware faults are detected.
    Hardware problems can only be resolved by taking the computer to your local Apple service center.
    Why reward points?(Quoted from Discussions Terms of Use.)
    The reward system helps to increase community participation. When a community member gives you (or another member) a reward for providing helpful advice or a solution to their question, your accumulated points will increase your status level within the community.
    Members may reward you with 5 points if they deem that your reply is helpful and 10 points if you post a solution to their issue. Likewise, when you mark a reply as Helpful or Solved in your own created topic, you will be awarding the respondent with the same point values.

  • I'm getting a kernel panic that I can't figure out

    I have a power mac g4 1.25 with 1.5 ram. I'm getting a kernel panic that I can't figure out. I have changed the graphic card, ram, logic board, keyboard and mouse. It happens right when it starts and sometimes 5 minutes after I log in. I erased and reinstalled the operating system, and threw away the bootx file which I read could work, that didn't work. I have and older power mac g4 which has the same kind of hard drive, so I swapped them and the hard drive in the kernel panic computer work fine in the older Mac. I have tried to start up on the disc that came with the computer to do a hardware test but it wont last long enough to run the test. I have even started up in target disk mode and got a kernel panic. Also fixed disk permissions and verified the disk still no good. Did I miss something? I think it is the Processors but I would like to know for sure.
    Please Help
    Thank You

    Kernal panics are usually caused by a hardware problem - frequently RAM or USB devices. When trying to troubleshoot problems, disconnect all external devices except your monitor, kbd & mouse. Do you experience the same problems?
    May be a solution on one of these links.

  • Constant Kernel Panics? Black Screen? Video problems? You should know about this Class Action Suit against Apple for selling defective logic boards.

    CLASS ACTION FILED AGAINST APPLE FOR DEFECTIVE MACBOOK LOGIC BOARDS
    I was one of the many unfortunate individuals who ended up paying Apple the $310 repair fee (more than $400 total, diagnostics included) to fix what was a defective logic board causing constant kernel panics. I don't think the suit has come to a conclusion or a settlement has been reached, but after spending the last month or so on this board trying to diagnose my kernel panics, I figured many others with similar problems would be interested in knowing about this.
    If anyone has any more up-to-date information on the suit or on what individuals should do if they believe they fall into the Plaintiff Class, please share!

    OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
    The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of trojans, which can only work if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
    “Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
    Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed, because those older operating systems are no longer being maintained by Apple. Upgrade to a newer version of OS X as soon as you can.
    Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
    Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.

  • Disk utility can't fix my disk!

    I have a MacBook Pro 15" with OS X Mavericks. Latley programs have crashed for no reason, so i checked disk utilities, it found a problem, I turned off my computer, held down cmd + R, and disk utilities can't fix it there either. So I know I have to delete my disk, install OS X again, and all that... I know how to do this, but I don't want to loose all my files and programs (yes, not all of them are downloaded from appstore...). But since it's my startup disk that is broken, I can't start it normally, to take a Time Machine back up.
    Is there another way to take a backup without start up normally? Are there some codes in terminal I can use?
    Thanks for all answers.

    I tried CCC, and this happened... I had it on "Administrators" because I didn't want everyone to log on my comuter..
    But since my startup disk is broken, I can't start it and log on and fix it. Is there another way to turn it off?
    I used my hostname to remote clone it, would the IP adress have been better?

  • Mini kernel panic after repairing disk permissions

    Repaired disk permissions per others' advice on here and other forums because my mini was running unacceptably slow. This didn't cure the problem so I used the tech tools disk that came with apple care- now, I get a kernel panic upon startup. I'm asked to restart the computer, I do it- and then I'm asked again!
    I called apple and they were defensive and rude. Frankly they didn't seem to care about whether or not I'd have to wipe my hard drive. Needless to say this is not something I want to do.
    It seems important to mention that I had an external hard drive connected to my computer- would this matter?
    Would repairing disk permissions CAUSE problems with my computer?
    When the disk repair program ran it said that there was a volume error- it fixed this error and then told me that the volume was error free.
    What can I do? I'm so frustrated! I love my computer and I really don't want to wipe the hard drive!

    We have all been there and we have all done the same thing, so you are part of the club.
    Apple uses a three number versioning system so you are almost there, but not quite.
    MacOS officially does not exist anymore. However, it wouldn't go over well with the then user base to call their next operating system for their computers NeXTstep as they felt the entire identy of a Mac was its OS or more specifically its look and feel.
    So they called it Mac OS 10 instead, opting for the roman numeral X.
    Mac OS X is pronounced Mac OS Ten, or simply OS Ten
    Now that 10 is out of the way.
    The second numeric position represents significant
    pause
    um yeah, some might argue with Tiger not as much so but significant changes to the OS.
    10.4
    There.. Each significant change was associate with a moniker representing a cat. 10.4 is associated with the Tiger, 10.3 with the Panther, 10.2 with the Jaguar, etc.
    So Tiger is Mac OS 10.4 or simply OS Ten dot Four
    Within each release is a bugfix release which also may contain usability enhancements and security patches.
    10.4.0 - the initial product release, also called a `Dot-Oh` release
    10.4.1 - the first round of bugfixes
    10.4.2 - the second round of bugfixes
    This continues on sequentially until theoretically the bugs are all fixed in the product but in reality means until the next significant release comes out; Leopard, OS 10.5.
    You should always be prepared for the possibility that a bugfix release may contain a security patch that significantly modifies and aspect of the file system that may break a disk utility application. In other words you always have to be vigilant with regards to that class of application.

  • Kernel Panic that I can't get past, plus unable to start up in safemode

    Hi there. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas.
    I was using my computer yesterday and after dinner when I turned it on I had the transparent drapes lowering over my monitor. A kernel panic with a "You need to restart your computer" in four languages. I restarted and I get the same message. So I am sort of stuck. I can't run in safe mode. I tried and I got stuck at the apple screen with the turning gear for about half an hour.
    I can use the comp as a firewire target drive. And I have run disk utilities which found a number of permissions errors that were corrected but the hard disk appears fine, and I have run the other extended hardware check - I think its what comes up when you hold down D and restart and not errors were detected.
    I googled the panic log - and someone had the exact same log I think and his problem was solved by a an archive and install. The only difference is he could run in safe mode. So will this work for me? I am at work now, but have a freelance projects due in two days and need to get this machine running tonight.
    Here's the log:

    Thanks for any tips.

    The panic seems associated with the boot cache. This could simply be a cache corruption problem. If you can boot into safe mode, then download a utility such as TinkerTool System - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - and use it to clear all system, user, and font caches. Reboot immediately and see if this resolves your problem. If not, then you can do the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) 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, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • 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!

  • Constant kernel panics since upgrade to 10.4.4. help!

    Well ive just spent the past 3 hours trying to figure out exactly what went wrong with my iBook, but it was Kernel Panicing like crazy. I couldnt even get online long enough to make a post about it.
    Lets recap.
    I updated to 10.4.4
    Several hours later the Mac crashes for the first time since I switched 3 months ago.
    It crashes again.
    Kernel panic!
    More kernel panics!
    So as soon as I logged in, I created a dummy account then rebooted with it. The dummy account would crash too so I knew that it was a system problem. This leads me to believe it was 10.4.4
    I did an archive and install.
    No luck
    Any thoughts? I have not installed any hardware. Its as it was prebuilt. It cant be a hardware problem.
    I installed shapeshifter several weeks ago and uninstalled it about 4 days ago.
    I did repair permissions after updating.
    Here is the crash report:
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0x000A8B98): Uncorrectable machine check: pc = 0000000022428A08, msr = 0000000000149030, dsisr = 00002429, dar = 00000000002F11B6

    The kernel panic points to Airport. Either your Airport software is way out of date or your Airport card may not be properly seated or has failed. So the first thing to do is remove the Airport card. If the panics cease, then reinstall the Airport card and see what happens. If it panics again, then remove the Airport card.
    The next thing I would do is:
    Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, 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 installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    The next thing I would do is download the 10.4.4 Combo Updater and reinstall the update. Then reinstall the Airport card and see if it works properly.
    I would suggest that before installing the update that you first boot into safe mode.

  • Constant Kernel Panic Mac Pro 2008

    Hello World,
    I recently had some problems with my Mac Pro early 2008 (Black Screen at boot) and an Apple Certified Service Provider checked it out and changed the logic board.
    Now it works, but wait, what's this? It boots, but always after a few minutes I get a "You need to restart you computer..." Kernel Panic and computer halts.
    Tried a few things: zapping Pram, booting from Install CD (to make sure it's not the installed system), Connecting only screen & Keyboard... no change in symptoms. I didnt yet do a long term Power disconnect to reset the SMC, but when I took the system from the shop it was in th box and thus unplugged for a few hours, so that doesn't seem promising either.
    It's a plain vanilla system configuration, a 2.8MHZ, 2GB RAM, ATI 2600 system with only the original Apple parts, fully updated.
    Of course I will get back at the repair tech, but he just went on holiday and I wont hear from them until next week. Bah. Maybe some genius here can read a Kernel Panic Report from the logs and give me a hint...maybe it's something I could fix myself, I just don't see it yet...I post 2 logs, to show that it seems to me that different applications cause it to panic.

    The dependencies suggest a problem related to the video card or video drivers. This could be a bad memory problem or it could indicate a problem with the video card itself or corruption of the drivers.
    As a start you might try reinstalling OS X:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) 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, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
