Corrupt Encrypted Sparseimage, PrivateFrameworks and Kernel Panics

Hi Maclovers,
After a kernel panic my encrypted sparseimage with valuable data won't mount:
# hdiutil attach sec3.bak.sparseimage
hdiutil: attach failed - Defektes Image // german for 'corrupt image'
Attaching the following string:
0000b90: 2c45 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ,E..............
0000ba0: 0000 0001 6364 7361 656e 6372 ....cdsaencr
gives:
diskimages-helper(11183) malloc: * vm_allocate(size=3190173696) failed (error code=3)
diskimages-helper(11183) malloc: * error: can't allocate region
diskimages-helper(11183) malloc: * set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug
hdiutil: attach failed - Speicher kann nicht zugewiesen werden // german for 'memory not allocable'
Okay, no problem I thought, Mac OS X builds on Open Source Software, so I can decrypt the sparseimage by hand (with perl) and rescue the needed data with a hexeditor.
But, the DiskImages Framework (/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskImages.framework/DiskImages) is not Open Source
From poking around with gdb and strings I learned that hdiutil uses sha,sha1,sha256,sha512 and md5. But I was unable to figure out
- how the password is expanded for the 128 bit aes key (plain md5/sha0,1,256,512 won't work)
- in which mode aes runs (ecb/cbc/ofb)
Do you know it and can you give me a hint?
Btw: from gdb:
openssl related
0x9194711c aes128_cbccipher
0x9196cd9a aes128_cfb128cipher
0x9196cddf aes128_ecbcipher
0x9196ce39 aes128_ofbcipher
calling from here?

  • Hard Feezing and Kernel Panics - Early 11 MBP

    Hey just wondering if anyone has any insight into this...
    I've been experiencing hard freezing and kernel panics on my Early 11 Macbook Pro for several months.  The hard freezing only happens when I wake up my system from sleep.  I'll open the lid and when it happens, within seconds, everything locks up.  No spinning wheel, just frozen machine and I have to do a hard reboot.  I also get random kernel panics as well.
    I took it in the the Genius Bar a few weeks ago, they ran tests and said the hardware was all fine and that I should reinstall Lion after a clean format.  Well I did that and still having issues.  Not sure if it's being caused by a 3rd party app...or if I really do have bad hardware after all.
    When they did a diagnostic they said that 'soundflower' was showing up in my kernel panic log and that I should find what that is and delete it, so I did.  In my most recent and only kernel panic, shown below, I don't see any 3rd party language anywhere.
    Anyone have an idea of what might be causing this?

    Try either uninstalling Twitter or just don't use it. See if this stops the kernel panics.

  • Mac freezing and kernel panics

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

    Based on that info, it sounds like either the optical or hard drive is beginning to go bad and perhaps the CPU on the logicboard. The fact it mentions iostorage, that typically deals with the storage devices on the computer. The fact that the CPU disappears is not good. Backup your data and try to replace the hard drive. See my FAQ* on backing up:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html

  • Temp and kernel panic relation?

    Is there a relationship between temperature and kernel panic?
    I've spent the day restarting the computer trying everything I've found at apple discussions and support to fix the nonstop kernel panic restart requests.
    After I Left the thing off for an hour - I gave up after my husband said my ranting caused Ga Tech to lose the Gator Bowl- I was able to get almost through the OS reinstall, which was about step number 45 in my restarts for the day.
    so is this a temp problem? Is this chance or related to the cool down? Cannot wait for tomorrow to talk to someone at apple!

    After you talk to them be sure to post back ...it may very well be related and if so indicates a hardware issue - meaning you may have to send it in for repairs.
    When you mention it's a week old then I'm assuming it's a Core2Duo and not just a refurbished orig. Macbook.

  • CrashPlan and Kernel Panics

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

  • Known issues with CUDA 5.0.17 and 5.0.24 driver (including crashes and kernel panics) on Mac OSX

    We have recently learned of some issues with the new CUDA drivers from Nvidia that cause crashes and kernel panics in some circumstances, including when switching between applications that use the GPU.
    See this page for details.

    You are experiencing a page fault (reference to an area outside of what is owned by the software in question) in the AirPort driver, in a Mac OS X kernel that does not have obvious third-party modifications to it.
    This should not be happening. Your Mac OS X image may be Bad.
    If you do not already have a Trusted Backup, that should be your Top Priority.
    If this is a new MacBook, and it is within the first 90 days of ownership, contact telephone support and ask them to help you. They will likely suggest a re-Install, right over the Mac OS X you have in place now. This is intended to do no damage, but you should always have a Backup.

  • Known issues with CUDA 5.0.17 driver (including crashes and kernel panics) on Mac OSX

    We have recently learned of some issues with the new CUDA drivers from Nvidia that cause crashes and kernel panics in some circumstances, including when switching between applications that use the GPU.
    See this page for details.

    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • Problems with MacMini 2.1 restarting and kernel panic

    For the past few weeks I have been having a very frustrating problem.
    Occasionally, when my MacMini goes into sleep mode I am unable to wake it and it must be hard restarted (holding down power button).  When it restarts I get the startup chime, immediately followed by truncated echos of the chime (not beeps or tones), which can repeat every couple of seconds for up to five minutes.  This is followed by the computer restarting itself over and over again until I get a kernel panic (log attached below).  Once I restart after getting the kernel panic the computer usually starts up fine and is fully usable until the next time I can't wake it up from sleep mode.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Hello,
    This is EXACTLY what my MacBook Pro keeps doing. Have you figured out what the problem is? I recently to my Mac to the Apple store to address the issue, and the one thing they were able to tell me, was that the battery was bad. They couldn't say if the two were related, because I didn't have the error message at that time, but it seems like the two could be related. I would have them check your battery, it could be the reason why the computer goes to sleep and doesn't turn back on. I am able to use mine just fine, other than this problem, but was told that I need to have the battery replaced. Would love to se what you find out, or have found out, maybe it can help me solve the problem on my end as well (if not due to the battery...)
    Tahnks!

  • Intel Xserve and kernel panic on high I/O load

    Hi everyone,
    Having added our 1st Intel Xserve to our server farm for test purposes we have encoutered several kernel panics on high I/O loads to Xsan volumes and standalone Xraid's.
    Below is a portion of the system.log after restart.
    The amusing part of this is that the crash reporter that suposed to log the reason for the crash crashed itself.
    I was trying to use the new Xserve as a backup server but even with about 20% load on all 4 processors it will panic and restart.
    Verdict: absolutley unreliable and useless if you need your Xserve to shuffle a lot of data around. The kernel drivers for the Apple FC card has also been changed which caused problems with our Archiware Presstore backup software.(kernel panic)
    Looks like Apple is tampering with the multi core kernel of 10.4.8 on the Intel Xenon Processors at the moment and hasn't got it right yet. Well, we got one revision left to get this fixed before 10.5 comes out and that's still miles away from being usuable to say the least.
    Thank you Apple, for selling your latest products that don't work as usual.
    Any comments of similar experiences are welcome.

    While I have found a few problems as well, I have gotten the intel xserve fairly stable (it did take a while and a lot of apple support calling)
    I haven't had kernal panics, but I haven't been able to get the processors above 45% when doing compression. Also, I had some nasty lun masking problems with the fibre card which did result in corrpution of a HFS raid volume.
    On the topic of xsan and the intel xserve, it is a BAD idea to try to install anything prior to 1.4.0. Had hangs, crashes and even corruption of the serial licensing daemon. Installing 1.4 and upgrading to 1.4.1 was a huge fix to those issues.
    Overall, after a lot of work, it is working well, and does play back 100MB/s video extremely well off an xsan volume. Although, I would be fully content if I could get compressor's utilization of the CPU from 40 to 100%.

  • Network and kernel panic

    Hi
    I just moved to a new apartment. Pretty soon after connecting my Imac G5 to the build in network in our block, it startet having kernel panic attacks during start up. It works fine after several shut downs and start ups.
    I'm getting ready to do a complete reinstall, but before I take that step:
    Could the kernel panic have anything to to with the network i'm connected to. Anything to do with their firewall or other?
    (unfortunately there is no help from the network provider - a startup company with no customer care - sounds familiar huh?)
    Any help would be massively appreciated.
    Regards - Morten
    Imac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I'm glad it worked. It's just a way to troblesoot where your problem may lie. It appears as if one of your networking pfiles may be corrupt. Have you repaired permissions on the account that doesn't work.
    In the meantime, if you don't want to reinstall, just use the newly created account to log-in.
    Lastly, have you updated to 10.4.5 yet?
    Just trying to save you time and effort!

  • Panic.log and Kernel Panic issues

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

    Since it references com.apple.iokit.IOFireWireFamily, I suspect that some FW device is causing the panic. Disconnect all of them and see if that stops the problem. As for general KP stuff, start with http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

  • SERIOUS Problem with mac pro and kernel panics

    Hi guys, I have a mac pro with 6 gigabytes of RAM + a RAID 0+1 system with 4 750 gigabytes HD's. ( 2 drives work in stripped mode, and the other 2 drives mirror them )
    I was experiencing some frecuent kernel panics when using final cut or trying to watch DVD's a few weeks ago. I saved some error logs then and uploaded them to my e-mail. The problem is that now the frequency of the panics is so high that the computer has turned unusable, it reaches the desktop without panics, but when I click finalcut and it starts opening , it panics all the time, if I start to open folders, it panics, anything I try = panic.
    Weeks ago I made the Apple Hardware test, testing the memory a lot and the memory seemed to be fine,
    Could you guys help me to identify the source of this?, I am desperate because the MacPro is my Working tool. Is there a way to check the hard drives also? ( remember I have raid 0+1 )
    Here are the error logs that I managed to capture.

    What you mention is really interesting , maybe I could try to benchmark the card very hard to see if I get the panics there. I will try that for sure, because my RAID wasn't actually a 0+1. It's what they call a RAID 10 , ( two groups of mirrored drives, + striped )
    It's like this post in macosrumors, but instead of two groups of striped disks, the big group is striped, and I got two smaller mirrored groups.
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=445731
    And I think that sould be working just fine without the RAID PCI-X card right ? ( maybe I'm wrong here , that's why I need your input guys . )

  • Programs Quitting (without errors) and kernel panics!

    I think my iBook is dying! I recently switched over to a G4 iBook, 1.42Ghz with 1.5GB RAM. I am running 10.4.9 and keep it consistently updated.
    Starting two nights ago, Safari, Mail, and Roxio's Toast have all quit instantly, out of the blue, with no error message popping up. At some points, I click on the icon in the dock, it bounces, then it stops and never opens. Sometimes it opens for .5 seconds and then closes again. Sometimes it opens just fine!
    On top of that, I had a kernel panic this afternoon as well. I am afraid of this being on its last legs!!! Any help? Here is the kernel panic info:
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0x0021C8F4): btreejournal_modify_blockend: about to write corrupt node!

    HELP! I would love to go buy a MacBook now, but I can't afford it quite yet.

    Thanks John!
    I am having the original install discs sent my way - I am a current college student so I did not have them with me! (Go figure!)
    I will definitely attempt this.
    I have now, however, found one more thing that is wrong. My audio is not working! When I go to change the volume, the speaker icon comes up, does nt change the level and also now has a new circle with a line through, indicating there is no audio? I checked the Audio settings in System Prefs and it is showing there as being no Audio Output. Again...HELP!
    Thank you again, John, for being kind and helpful!

  • Cinema display causing freezes and kernel panics?

    Okay, if anyone has experienced this before I would like to know. I've been having these powerbook freezes at night., and occasional kernel panics during the day. I usualy leave my computer on all night, but when I check it in the morning it's pretty much froze everyday.
    I did a complete clean install, I've ran hardware test, past both tests, reset pram, av-ram. I did install 2 gig of ram (2x1), I was beggining to question the ram, but once I unpluged it from my Cinema display I have not had one freeze in three days. Why would that be? Has anyone else had problems like this?
    I've used this display for a year with my previous powerbook and have had no problems, but for some reason these two don't get along. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the usb, or firewire ports. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    You know it does seem to be the memory. Once I replaced the memory with different chips all kernel panics have stopped, same with freezes. Funny how this passed all the memory tests.
    All seems to be better now anyway....thanks.

  • Macbook pro 2009 unibody with white screen and kernel panics

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

    Run the Apple Hardware Test:
    How to run hardware diagnostics for an Intel Mac
    Boot from your original OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer.  After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears.  Run the extended tests for a minimum of two or three hours.  If any error messages appear note them down as you will need to report them to the service tech when you take the computer in for repair.
    Some "common" error indicators:
    SNS - sensor error
    MEM - memory error
    HDD - hard disk drive error
    MOT - fan error
    Cannot guarantee that it will reveal anything. As for using the other GPU all I say is you can try switching to it in Energy Saver preferences.
