"Don't Panic" paniced on first boot

I thought this was kind of funny, I upgraded to the new kernel (and thus to "Don't Panic") and after a reboot I was greeted with a kernel panic... It was easily solved by defining "rootfstype=" kernel parameter but it was kind of ironic

It is called don't panic, isnt it ? Dont worry

Kernel panic on first boot after 10.6.8 update

Hi,
Here are the fact:
1) I systematically get a kernel panic on first boot after an attempt to update to 10.6.8 (was able to revert to 10.6.7 using Time Machine; now I'm running my tests on a clone). While doing the update, there are NO USB connexion to my laptop, nor ethernet connexion. Only the power cable.
2) I DO NOT use the software Hands Off which is known to cause such an issue
3) I've tested this on two different hard drive (with a clone of my system)
4) I disabled all third app on startup just to be sure this wasn't a conflict problem
5) After a kernel panic, I'm always able to boot in safe mode
6) I did try both the normal update and the combo update (same result)
Now I'm kinda stuck. The next test I'm thinking performing is to update while in safe mode. But I don't know if it will help.
And yes, my permissions are all fine. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? I believe I need to be in 10.6.8 in order to update to Lion?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi,
Sorry about that. Below you'll find the log of my latest kernel panic.
I did follow instructions suggested by user "ds store". The only "kext" file that I've got (by running the commands in the Terminal) was related to the software LittleSnitch. I downloaded it again in order to run the uninstaller. I'll try again to update to 10.6.8 under those conditions and report here.

I can boot with Failsafe, but no multiboot.
What can I do?

Apparently the nfs client module is need for some reason I don't understand (I'm doing a local CD install). Since I installed the SUNWCrnet cluster this kernel module didn't install.
I resolved this by manually installing the SUNWnfsckr from failsafe mode..

What is a neat way to delete a stale amavisd pid_file on first boot after panic or power failure?

Lion Mail Server component postfix/smtp 100% reproducible blocks inbound smtp mail delivery on first boot after a panic or power failure.
Error messages from mail.log are like:
postfix/smtp[45785]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused postfix/smtp[45785]: 2F7131F9A97: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=76041, delays=76040/0.36/0.05/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused) postfix/error[45790]: 550D61F9A99: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=76040, delays=76040/0.39/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused) postfix/postscreen[45872]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from [100.200.100.159]:65392: 450 4.3.2 Service currently unavailable; from=<[email protected]>, to=<[email protected]>, proto=ESMTP, helo=<host.domain.tld> /usr/libexec/postfix/greylist.pl[45885]: Temporary message rejection to: <[email protected]> from: <[email protected]> sent from: [100.200.100.159] for: 60 seconds due to greylisting postfix/smtpd[45879]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from host.domain.tld[100.200.100.159]: 450 4.7.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Service is unavailable; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<host.domain.tld>
The issue seems to be related to the amavis content filter due to the connection to port number 10024 and amavisd being configured on that port. Amavis.log:
/usr/bin/amavisd[236]: (!)Net::Server: 2012/07/25-13:38:49 Pid_file already exists for running process (88)... aborting\n\n at line 277 in file /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.12/Net/Server.pm ... /usr/bin/amavisd[236]: Net::Server: 2012/07/25-13:38:49 Server closing! ...repeating roughly every 10 seconds...
The workaround is to reboot the machine, after the second boot the inbound smtp mail delivery is no longer stuck.
The issue seems to be related to http://serverfault.com/questions/138690/amavisd-net-server-pid-file-already-exis ts-after-system-crash-and-startup
How to permanently fix Apple Mail Server to accept smtp inbound messages on first boot, by removing the left over amavis pid_file from the previous unclean shutdown?

Use connection pooling. This will put the connection management in the hands of the webserver, not your code. Check out this post:

Hi!I'm owner of a MacBook pro 13''.Trying to achieve my first boot of leopard after an issue which a learned that is named kernel panic,I find an error 0x7fff5fc00000 which prevent me by installing MacOs.My guarantee lasts 1 month more.Could anyone help m

You advise me to send MacBook to an apple's service point or is there any way to handle it myself?

A kernel error is often a hardware issue, so, if it's still under warranty, it's best to take it back to Apple or an AASP.
However, there are several issue which aren't clear.
You talk about "first boot of leopard".
If this Mac is 11 months old, it should have come with Snow Leopard already installed, so why is this the first boot? Or are you talking about Leopard (Mac OS X v10.5), not Snow Leopard (v10.6)? If so, booting from earlier versions of Mac OS X is not supported.

Kernal Panic early in boot up.

Got myself a brand spankin new MBP 15in 2.4 the other day!
But, first time bootin the sucker up, got a kernal panic not 2 seconds into boot. Didn't even get past the white screen with the apple logo. Hm... Not a good sign... Especially when you're booting it up for the first time at the apple store
Ok, shut down, boot up again. Oh! Kernal panick again. Hmmmm... Shut down, boot up. No problems this time.
So I thought, well, I guess that's that.
Then just last night, tried booting up again, got the same kernal panic at early boot.
So I figure it's probably only when the computer is cold booting. Which seems to me like it would be some kind of hardware issue.
Good thing for me I got AppleCare after learning my lesson with a harddrive on a powerbook but I wanted to see what everyone else thinks of this just for my knowledge.
Laptop is sitting in my car right now, off, hopefully cold enough so that when I go to the Apple store later today it'll panic for the nice guys at the store.
By the way, this is the first product I got with AppleCare, am I supposed to set up some kind of appt. with them or can I just show up?

Well, I took it back to the store to get it exchanged, but they decided to run an Airport upgrade that apparently isn't released through software update... AirportExtremeUpdate2007004.dmg is the file.
So far, no kernal panics... and it's been 2 weeks. Granted, I don't shut down my computer often now that I've completely transferred from my old powerbook.
The laptop does freeze occasionally coming out of sleep, I don't think it's a related issue, but I'll search on it anyway.

Kernel Panic ... boot issues

Hi ... I have a Mac Pro 3,1 intel 2.8 ghz
For many weeks now i have been experiencing kernel panics. Randomly. Different things running ect... lately when booting the computer it fails... sometimes only gray screen... sometimes file folder w/ question mark.... sometimes Apple logo and that's it.... sometimes it works.
so
I think my hard drive is failing. I've ordered a new one and will install it. I was planning on taking my Snow Leopard disc and installing osx on the new drive then do software updates to get osx current... as opposed to using time machine to completely back up the new drive.... then use time machine to restore the rest of the bad drive.
my assumptions are that if the kernel panics are caused by something bad in osx, the software re install will remove that issue. A new drive obviously fixes a bad one if that was the issue.
I'm guessing If i boot with the osx disc in the computer it will boot from that disc. once running i'll have the ability to detect an un formatted drive and get it formatted using disc utility. Then choose to install osx on that new drive... not quite sure how to make it the boot drive though.
Used Macs for years but they just work... so this is a new adventure for me! lol
What are your all's thoughts here. Think I'm on the right track? Right plan?

John: Since You've bought a new HD:
I'd go ahead, install it in a different drive bay from original.
Do exactly as you planned and do a clean install of Snow Leopard on the new HD.
Try booting off the new drive (holding the option key during boot boot up, will allow you to select the new drive)
+not quite sure how to make it the boot drive though.+
Once Sys.Software Use the "StartUp Disk" panel in System Preferences. Your mac will now boot off the new drive Until you change that setting.
If the first boot off the new drive works - You were right: problem was with the old drive Tho u still don't know for sure if prob is (Software or Hardware)
At this point, you may wish to reformat and do a clean install Snow Leop on original drive.
I've never used Time Machine, but If the old drive is now working properly (test for awhile) - it was a software issue - the corruption could have been anywhere, so I'd hesitate to restore much other than your data (IS THIS POSSIBLE with Time Machine?)
Regardless, I'd plan on using the NEW drive as the boot drive (If it's a decent quality, it's likely to outlive the old one) even if the old one seems ok.

Installation feedback:
I installed Arch in virtualbox on a Windows XP host and after it initially hung up on boot (enabling acpi and apic was necessary), everything worked fine.
I was very pleased to see the pacman mirror selection dialog, apart from a "missing" pacman -Sy (I wondered why I couldn't install xfce4...everything was set up perfectly and it took me a while until I realized, that the local package database only includes the current repository) there was no need for post-configuration for the base system. I haven't checked for rankmirrors this time, but
Setting up X and xfce4 was done quickly and I had no further problems.
I was using the FTP-install-image.
Edit: Stay away from Safari for windows, it will not send or copy text fields containing a '[' or ']', it just cuts away everything following this character.

Kernel don't panic

Hi.
I have recently installed archlinux on my machine by network instalation.
Since then I am running and I can't get rid of the " don't panic " kernel.
I have updated the databases and all but shoudn't it change by default?

"Don't Panic" + scim

Well, I decided to change the OS on one of my computers from Ubuntu to Arch, after the install I did pacman -Syu and found that I'm using the "newer" version "Don't Sweat". Cool.... but.
Scim usually installs easily using the instructions from the archlinux website:

This time it's a no go. I have Korean (hangul) input working fine so long as my LC_CTYPE is set to ko_KR.utf-8. This however makes the panels and titlebars absolutely HUGE. I mean almost 40px titlebars are big enough for the blind to see. What gives? Any ideas or is this some sort of bug in "Don't Panic"?

OK, so I was playing with the system and I noticed something strange which is probably related. When I have my LC_CTYPE set at en_US.UTF-8 then I have Korean fonts listed when I go into the change font dialog, but SCIM doesn't work.... erghhhh.
When I change LC_CTYPE to ko_KR.UTF-8 then my Korean fonts disappear from the listings and I get Chinese fonts listed????!!!! And SCIM works, but the screen is all messed up because it's leaving too much space for the fonts. Example, in the terminal everything looks double or even triple spaced.
Any ideas?

4 days old MBP 13". First boot up showed charge of 100%, next boot up showed battery fully charged but the percentage read 98% in the subsequent boot ups the battery is fully charged but percentage reads 96%. Whats wrong??

I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro. On my first boot up, the battery charged to 100%. I didn't operate this thing on the battery. The next time I booted this thing up, the battery was charged but the meter read 98%. In the subequent boot ups of this machine, and I still having not used the battery, my battery is fully charged but the meter now reads 96%. IS there some problem with the hardware or the software? Help is appreciated!!
Thanks.

hey thank you for the info. Based on what happened, the battery has gone up to 100% just once when I booted this machine for the first time. On subsequent occasions the Battery Charged symbol has appreard at below 100% charging. I have been using my MacBook Pro for the whole day with outlet power and never did the battery go back to 100%. I hope I don't have to calibrate the battery on this model?

First boot of local zone - how to determine when sysidtool has finished

Hello,
we use a /etc/sysidcfg in order to do the solaris base configuration automatically. After the first boot of a local zone I recognized that some tools are started by solaris (sysidtool, etc.) which apply the settings mentioned in /etc/sysconfig.
Since we want to script some post-install set-ups I need to know, when the first boot including all "first-boot-scripts" has completely finished. Is it possible to query this information, maybe by calliing a special tool or by looking up some string within an logfile?
I would be grateful for any hints,
Thomas

I haven't checked, but I assume they have normal dependencies in the SMF tree so that other services don't start until they complete.
I would probably look at the milestone/multi-user-server service and see if it's online yet. If it is, they're probably done.

Mac Mini First Boot Registration

Hello,
When I first boot my new Mac Mini, it ask me some details for registration. I didn't have an Apple ID. So I registered it probably with my name and phone number etc. Then newly I created an Apple ID, and re-registered my new Mac to my Apple ID, with same name, phone, e-mail etc. Would it create a problem? Or my old registration is deleted already? =)
Thanks in advance;
H.

We don't really know what happens at Apple, but you now have an Apple ID. Whatever old registrations you had should still remain under your old ID.

Kernel crashing during first boot on VirtualBox

I'm trying to get install Arch Linux on VM running on my Windows 7, I set up the machine and everything else that was in the guide on wiki, but during first boot, I get kernel error and machine freezes.
This is screenshot of error:

I'm new to Linux so I might have missed something obvious, don't be too harsh on me please
-- mod edit: read the Forum Etiquette and only post thumbnails http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/For … s_and_Code [jwr] --

Mhm, I only have to suggestions (I am not a kernel-pro though):
Enable PAE/NX at the "System -> Processor" tab in the vbox configuration
If that does not work disable it and try to reconfigure the vm with minimal settings in virtualbox. For example, disable audio, networking, usb, 3d etc... and see wether your machine crashes or not.

Upgrade and Install fails after first boot. Then I am unable to repair

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this?
I've experienced the aqua screen of death with the Upgrade option and was unable to resolve it, even after trying the APE removing technique.
So, I decided to restore back to Tiger 10.4.10 (thanks to Super Dupering prior to upgrade) and try the archive and install option. All appeared to go well, installed fine, allowed me to login and run all my apps. But, upon doing my first reboot after the 'sucessful' install the system just hangs at the gray screen. I tried using Disk Utility from the Leopard DVD, but it's unable to repair permissions.
I got this error message: 'The underlying task reported failure on exit'. Tried many times, I also tried the /sbin/fsck -fy in single user mode.
I tried booting into DiskWarrior 4's. Once in DW4 I ran the Repair function there... Here I got another error message.
This error being: 'Error -9997'.
OK I thought, something random must have happened. Soooo I restored to Tiger again and ran the Archive and Install option once again.
I'm am again experiencing the exact same problems with freezing gray boot screen and the inability to repair permissions (all after doing my first boot after sucessful install and login/opening of many apps)
Please please please can anyone she some light on this problem???
I'm going to try one more option:
Upgrade after I've disable all startup options and removing anything to do with APE....
I will report back!
This is really really crap Apple, I can't believe I've spent £85 and probably 15 hours on this sloppy release. Utterly disapointed

Just me it seems then....
Right, I think it's finally resolved, only after the fifth time. I've now rebooted twice and so far so good.
There was a new message when I powered down for the first time, something along the lines of:
Please wait while your Boot Caches are updated.
This seems to be a reasuring message, I feel almost confident in restarting again.
I upgraded using the following method:
1. Disabled ALL startup items (System Preferences>Accounts>Login items)
2. Removed all traces of APE (Application Enhancer) using Finder:
/Library/Preference Panes/Application Enhancer.prefpane
/Library/Frameworks/Application Enhancer.framework
/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/Application Enhancer.bundle
/Library/Preferences/com.unsanity.ape.plist
3. Repaired Permissions
Right, before I perform a new backup I think I'll see how she runs for a week, so I'm sure the boot problem is definitely gone.
