Firewire induced Kernel Panic in OS10.4.3

Following the need to repair my HD drive (fixed using Diskwarrior) - connecting my external Firewire Drive (Maxtor one touch) causes a kernel panic !
External drive works OK in OS 10.3 and 10.4.2 partitions but not when booted into my 10.4.3 partition. Have repaired permissions, reset PRAM. Clearly not a hardware problem. Is this a 10.4.3 bug or a cache /file corruption which just needs fixing ?
NB For the experts I get the following report :
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x215D6DEC): IORegistryEntry::_RESERVEDIORegistryEntry8 called

Further info.
Triggered by another post in this section I did a 'safe boot' which mounted the firewire drives OK. However, a following normal boot with Firewire connected exhibited the same "You need to restart ..." problems.
This must narrow down the problems but what needs to be done to fix it ?

Usb + firewire issues = kernel panic - help needed!!

Hello, and please forgive my english, I'll do my best!
So, i have a 1,25 Ghz MDD G4, with 2 x 256 Mo RAM sticks (at first), running mac OS 10.3.9.
As the original HD is too small, I work with my documents on an external firewire HD. The HD is plugged on a third party/PCI firwire card that went down.
On the same day I bought a new firewire card (trendNet, it was said to be mac compatible form mac OS 8.6) and 4 x 512 Mo of Ram (Hynix).
It worked just fine for a week and suddenly my mouse froze (and keyboard too > the mouse is plugged on the keyboard). Having no control on my mac (which seemed ok despite the usb deconnection) I had to hard reboot on the central Unit.
I unplugged the usb hub that occupied mu 2nd usb port (there was a wacom tablet and a flsh memory key on it). I left just the keyboard plugged (and mouse plugged on keyboard).
It was fine for... 2 or 3 hours and then it started again > mouse + keyboard deconnecting/freezing (the keyboard is a mac one, the mouse a microsoft one -optical-).
As the small red optical light of the mouse turns off when the mouse freezes I first thought the mouse or keyboard itself was the culprit.
I tested both of them them on a macbook and they worked just fine (never had a problem with them).
I ran disk utility, repaired the permissions. And it seemed better for a couple of hours.
When it happened again I unplugged the keyboard and plugged it on the 2nd usb port (which was free since I had unplugged everything else) > the mouse "came back to life" and I didn't have to reboot. But it happened again, like 2-3 times (every hour/half hour) until swapping the usb plug on the UC doesn't solve the problem anymore > hard reboot again...
Then I tried EVERYTHING
booting with techtool CD > everything ok, no pb found
running onyx to empty the cash and rerepair the permissions > ibid, no pb
resetting the PRAM with cmd-alt-p-r
resetting the PMU
resetting the usb and firewire ports after each hard reboot
cleaning the dust
removing my old scsi pci card (not used for ages)
moving my new firewire card on an another slot
installing a firmware update
nothing has solved the problem... it seems to arrive randomly, but mostly (more frequently) when working with several apps open.
The cursor seems to freeze for very very short periods (as a warning!) until it freezes for good > it's exactly as if the usb didn't deliver any electricity for micro laps of time (and it is the case I guess as my optical mouse light turns off).
So I change the usb plug into the other port and it works for a while, just as if only one usb port was functional at a time, but it always ends with a hard reboot (no choice).
It's always scary but it's also very annoying as my Western Digital Mybook external drive refuses to mount on desktop after hard reboots... I have to unplug it, replug it, restart etc... well this HD is a pain but I guess it's because it's in FAT 32 (since I forgot to format it when I bought it). So I don't bother too much about the HD itself, but however it seems that the firewire card suffers from this : I have a lot of trouble mounting 2 disks at a time (but with all this I need to backup!). It's like the fiwewire ports (of the pci card) suffered from the same pain as the usb : one at the time! and when I finally mount both external HDs, if I unplug one (after unmounting it and switching it off) the computer freezes.
Then one day I opened itunes, and... kernel panic...
That was 4 days ago I think and I've had like 3-4 KP since then (one a day). These kernel panic happen just as randomly as my usb deconnexions...
Today I tried my last chance : removing the new Hynix ram and putting back my 2 old 256 rams.
It was ok for a pair of hours and then > mouse freeze and kernel panic again...
I reaaally need help, I don't know what to do anymore. I've spent my last week unplugging usb plugs, opening my UC, repairing permissions etc...
now I feel helpless...
Here are some extracts of console logs I've had :

Is my mac dying?? Does all this come from defectible hardware? Is reinstalling a sysem a waste of time?

My complements on that. While I read the post quickly, it was only later that I saw you're in Paris....
Anyway, I'm not an expert on logs (system and panic ones), but from what I can tell there is a problem with the PCI USB/Firewire card you installed. It looks like it's the USB portion of the card; those are happing at startup when I'm pretty sure there's a kind of initial checking of the PCI cards.

The panics show dependencies to USB and FW:

The problems with the card at startup are probably creating an unstable condition, which in turn is causing kernel panics later on.
Basic things first, whenever you change the hardware setup, e.g. RAM and adding cards, it's a really good idea to reset-PRAM. Did you do that? Try that first, it's simple and easy enough to try.
If resetting the PRAM doesn't help, then try the new PCI card. I re-read your post a few times, but I haven't seen whether you tried removing the PCI FW/USB card to see if that helps. Try your mouse and some other devises on the native USB and FW ports. If you're stable, then it very well could be the card.
Of course there's also the question of the RAM, which you pulled without help. Again, after any change of the hardware (adding RAM, pulling RAM, adding/pulling cards, etc.) even during testing, reset the PRAM at startup.
With new RAM it's usually a good idea to test it, with say AHT CD or Rember. If you test, you might want to do this without the new card. It's a little tricky right now because you added 2 new pieces of HW (RAM and FW/USB card) either which or both could cause the problems you're seeing. OS X is picky about RAM, and the MDDs in particular are extremely picky about RAM as far as Apple HW is concerned.
Lots of kernel panics can eventually cause damage to the OS X installation. So in the end, it may be worth re-installing. But, before you take that route. Try the simple things like removing the PCI FW/USB card & testing, and testing the RAM. Take it one step at a time.

Pacman induces kernel panic (intermittent)

Hello Archers,
I've got a fresh Arch install. I'm working my way through syncing packages I want from pacman. Two times now, a call to "pacman -S" has resulted in a kernel panic requiring a hard reboot.
I've booted into my Arch CD - it was still sitting in the drive anyway - and recovered the kernel and pacman logs.

It seems to happen when pacman tries to use the network. The kernel log also seems to suggest a network problem.

I haven't had any kernel panics when using any other network programs, just pacman. I can ping google by name and I can scp to my laptop running on the WLAN.
I tried googling, using the wiki, and searching the forums, but all kernel-panic related problem seem to happen at boot time, not in the process of using pacman.
Some other things about my system that may or may not affect things: it's an LVM over LUKS over LVM, the lowest LVM sits across several hard-drives, and it's got an AMD64 processor but I installed off an i686 iso.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I just generated another kernel panic while trying to sync fuse, openssh and sshfs from pacman.
I now notice something not captured by either the kernel log or the pacman log. Before the call trace begins, I also get this message:
:: Retrieving packages from extra...
[ 8340.507133] Kernel panic - not syncing: cannot create neighbour cache statistics
Still looking for ideas here. It's really weird that pacman can work properly for a while and then all of a sudden causes a kernel panic.

HT3011 RAM induced kernel panics

So I upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8GB on my 27" mid 2010 Mac and It keeps forcing me to power off (gray screen appears). Could this be a problem with the RAM or with the comuter itself? Im using the recomended RAM for my iMac, PC3-10666 SoDIMM. I traded out the two original RAM modules (2x2GB) for 2 4GB modules. I purchased the RAM from best buy, its PNY brand if that makes any difference.

I haven't used PNY brand ram, but there have been numerous threads here on the forum of folks having issues with that particular brand. A highly recommended site for Mac RAM is below.

Kernel Panic when plugging Firewire devices

I have a Kernal Panic each time I plug something in the Firewire ports. I already have tried many things to solve this issue, in vain (see here, in french : http://www.xrings.net/xrings/forum/viewtopic.php?t=216 )
If somebody has any suggestion... Thanks !

Thank you jeffdc, but I have done it.
In fact, I've done all the things I could think about : they are listed in the link referring to an other forum (in french) in the first topic of this discussion :
http://www.xrings.net/xrings/forum/viewtopic.php?t=216.
I translate it here in english :
MY MAC. Power PC G4 800 MHz 256 Mo. System : OS X 10.4.2.
ISSUE. Kernel Panic each time I try to connect any kind of device (HD, iPod) to any of my Firewire ports.
CABLES AND DEVICES. I changed external Firewire cables and devices to be sure that the problem was not coming from them. The kernel panic appears systematicaly after connecting to the Firewire ports, when the computer is switched on as switched off with a reset...
FIREWIRE PORTS. I followed the instructions from the Apple Support Site : disconnect evreything (USB and all ports), switch off and disconnect the computer from the electricity alimentation cable, wait a few minutes, reconnect, switch on. Nothing changed.
HARDWARE TEST. I reboot on the Apple Hardware Test CD. Results were OK. I've done it twice : first time with iPod connected on the firewire, second time with nothing connected on the firewire port. First time the result was OK : firewire was indicated as "present". Second time it was OK too : it was indicated as "absent". So the computer is able to detect the Firewire device... (PS. I don't have any trouble with the iPod, nor with the software nor with the hardware, when the connection is with USB, so the iPod and its software are OK.)
AUTORISATIONS. I have of course repaired the autorisations with Disk Utility. Nothing changed.
NVRAM. I have done a reboot in Open Firmware (pommealt+of) to reset the Non Volatil RAM (reset-nvram, reset-all). For no result.
CORRUPTED, HIDDEN FILES. I've tried to do a big cleaning with Applejack utility (corrupted files etc.) in Open Firmware again. Again in vain.
NEW SYSTEM ON A PARTITION. My HD is divided en three partitions, so I've done a reboot on the Installation CD from my old 10.2 System on a partition containing only documents. I made a reset on that System, done a few upgradings (System, iTunes and iPod), and now that partition is 10.2.8.
NEW FIREWIRE TEST ON THE REINSTALLED SYSTEM. Under that freshly reinstalled System 10.2.8, I tried again to connect the iPod on the FireWire port : Kernel Panic again.
QUESTION. So, what does happen ? Is it a software or a hardware issue ? Or an original bug in the 10.2 system ? What can I do ?
Thank you again to all the people who have already read my post and took time to give me an answer, and to all the people who will do it.

Is anyone else seeing this?
The affected process is random (or so it seems) which would make sense if it's a bug in the network code since that (at least on other BSDes) is run by a software interrupt independent of the userland.
There is a previous thread about issues in 10.5.5 and 10.5.6 with the same piece of code in route.c here.

From those threads and other posts I've found on Google regarding the route.c crashes, the consensus seems to be to not run a bittorrent client (or the bundled Apache 2 in Leopard) and that this is a "feature" of Mac OS X.
For what it's worth, this computer is connected directly to the Internet, is part of IPv6 internet via 6to4 and use the Airport card in Ad-Hoc mode to share the Internet connection with other (Apple) devices.
This particular kernel panic happened just days after swapping the harddrive and reinstalling SL from scratch. The only software installed after the OS was reinstalled is Adium, Spotify and Transmission BT.

Here's another Bittorrent-induced kernel panic on a new Core i7 iMac.

Booting from firewire target mode on a mac pro with kernel panic?

hello
i am wondering if it is possible to use firewire target mode to boot a mac pro that has never got past a multi language kernel panic on boot?
basically i have tried all the other options and cant get it to open the superdrive to insert my installation disk, as to repair the drivers with my snow leopard disk.
i've tried holding my mouse key down, the paperclip option on the drive itself and the firmware keycombo, so my idea is that the only way to fix it is with target mode. can this be done - and if so - could someone direct me towards a tutorial that will help me do this.
please advise if this is possible or if there is another method i should use? apart from taking it to the applestore (extreme last ditch option) i am quite low on ideas here.
many thanks!
p.s heres the message i wrote for the original problem which caused all the kernel panics;
"i recently bought a mac pro and upon starting it for the first time opted to transfer the all the data i could over via firewire from my macbook pro.
i used the standard 't' command with the firewire symbol.
Somewhere towards the end of the transfer (I am not sure at what pont - I wasnt there for all of it) - , the monitor went blank and the whole thing was unresponsive. my macbook's firewire sign continued to move around the screen.
after leaving it for some time i decided to turn off the macbook and then the mac pro.
i restarted the macbook and got some pretty crazy stuff happening to my calender - but so far everything seems to be fine.
i am more concerned about the "you need to restart your computer" message; this is the dreaded 'kernel panic' right?. i have never actually done anything with this computer yet, and it was purchased new."

"i recently bought a mac pro and upon starting it for the first time opted to transfer the all the data i could over via firewire from my macbook pro.
Never opt to transfer until you have insured it works fine for a couple days, I would never use Setup or Migration Assistant until such time, and I would have a bootable backup clone.
Try pulling all the hard drives from inside your Mac Pro and boot from OS X DVD - latest OS build.

Working with my 2 FireWire HD i had a crash. the only way to start was a safe start. then id maged to start from a DVD and install a MAC OS 10.3 wich ran 4 some time then the same problem only safeMode. kernel panic inserted the tech tool DVD

so what
greetings from berlin

Greetings,
It appears to be a FW problem, possibly flaky case, or drive problem.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Kernel panics, graphic file corruption with Firewire

I've been having consistent problems with Firewire since I got my Mac Pro last year. I only recently narrowed it down to Firewire so I thought I'd write it up here for the record.
I never actually solved the problem, just started using USB-2 instead and the issues went away.
--I had been getting pretty consistent kernel panics while doing backups or large file transfers to an external FW drive. I tried a few different drives and cables and the panics were consistent.
--I also noticed a strange problem where graphic files I'd backed up (TIFF, JPEG, etc.) would have these single-pixel horizontal streaks running through them. This was a little disconcerting because it wasn't picked up during verification, it was just there when I opened the backup file.
I found lots of people with FW problems in these forums but none mentioned that strange file corruption I got.
I'll try FW again after a future system software upgrade but I'm giving up on it for now.

What can it be?
Thanks a lot,

The info is linked above. I agree that that info should be on the download page, but not having that info there doesn't mean the drivers aren't 64 bit.
http://www.motu.com/techsupport/technotes/64-bit-mac-compatibility
Hardware
When using the 64-bit kernel in Mac OS X v10.6 and later, 64-bit hardware drivers must be used. MOTU FireWire/USB2 audio interfaces, PCI-424 audio interfaces, and USB MIDI interfaces can be used with the 32- or 64-bit kernel. *The minimum driver versions required for use with the 64-bit kernel are:*
*FireWire/USB2 Audio 1.5 (37320)*
PCI-424 Audio 1.5 (38352)
USB MIDI 1.5 (37320)
The current version available for download (after you log in) is 1.5.38352, so according to MOTU it is a 64 bit driver and runs on the 64 bit kernel.
Download here, you may need to log in. Forget about the two pages you linked to, I'm not sure how you found them, but they are old and are no longer relevant. http://www.motu.com/download/downloadmatching_downloads.html?platform_id=2&productid=14
The link to the download itself is here, again this link may not work if you don't log in first.

I downloaded the latest and tested it on 64 bit kernel and it worked fine, so yes, they are in fact 64 bit drivers. If you are still skeptical, just download for yourself and boot into the 64 bit kernel, you'll see that they work fine.

Is anyone having a problem connecting 400 firewire thru an adapter for the 800 firewire port on a Macbook Pro 2011? It does a kernel panic every time I connect it. Is there a "proper way" to connect it?

Is anyone having a problem connecting 400 firewire thru an adapter for the 800 firewire port on a Macbook Pro 2011? It does a kernel panic every time I connect it. Is there a "proper way" to connect it? Just in case it makes a difference I am trying to hook up an Avid Mbox Pro for Pro tools.

What is the part number and model of Firewire adapter?
I have used them in the past without any problems whatsoever.

Two Kernel Panics, Spotlight dead, Firewire sketchy,

Today after I restarted the machine from the Quicktime 7.4 update I got the gray screen of death and restarted - got it again and restarted. Then Leopard dumped my two Firewire drives. I shut down and unplugged them adn then replugged after 5 minutes and they were there.
Then Spoylight wanted to rescan everything and it did. I left the machine alone for awhile and it finished. I tried to do a search in spotlight but got the beachball and the finder stopped responding - as did everything else.
I really think Leopard has some firewire issues. It seems like I have had problems every time I have to restart. It's always been a crap shoot as to what drives will mount or if the dock will show up or even the gray toolbar strip.
I am back on my Tiger install to test the drives.
Is it possible that Spotlights index file is corrupt an dcausing these problems? I hate to have to re-install, but if that's what I gotta do...

Hi J.P.,
Your panic log is definitely flagging the kernel extensions for the FireWire burner:"Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):
com.apple.driver.QPSQueFire(1.4.4)@0x328f2000"so that is clearly the problem. The version shown (1.4.4) is the most current version. Unless the kernel extension itself has become corrupted, something in the security update may have rendered that driver incompatible with Mac OS X.
This is something you want to take up with Que before proceeding further. If they've had similar reports, they might release a new kernel extension. Otherwise, you're faced with trying to reinstall that kernel extension from an identical copy of Tiger or performing an Archive and Install.
Good luck!

Firewire drives cause kernel panic on PPC, not Intel

I'm trying to get three firewire drives to work on a PowerMac G5. Before updating to 10.4.8, they worked individually, but not chained together. Now, if you connect any one of them, the system has a kernel panic. They would cause the panic on the earlier version of 10.4 when chained together. Everything works perfectly on a MacBook and a MacBook Pro, both running 10.4.8.
Below are the notes I took on the three drives as I was troubleshooting. All three are from Maxtor.
Drive 1:
300GB
EDA EB300G0160101
Has a filesystem, but Disk Utility claims there is no partition. It mounts on an Intel Mac, but causes a kernel panic on a G5.
Filesystem is Mac OS Standard
G5 System will panic while booting if the drive is connected and turned on.
G5 panics when trying to mount drive.
Drive 2:
200GB
EDA Ay200A0260101
Has a Mac OS Extended filesystem
G5 System will panic while booting if the drive is connected and turned on.
G5 Panics when trying to mount drive.
Drive 3:
300GB
EDA BA300D0080101
Has a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) filesystem.
G5 System will panic while booting if the drive is connected and turned on.
G5 panics when trying to mount drive.
Because of the change when 10.4.8 was installed, I suspect this is a driver problem. It could also be a controller problem that just happened to get worse when the update was done.
I ran the Apple Service Diagnostic on this machine and was unable to find anything wrong since I replaced both CPUs.
Any ideas?
PowerMac G5 dual 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If the drives were formatted on the Intel Mac then they will have a GUID partition map installed on the drive. PPC Macs will not understand the GUID partition scheme which may be the root cause of your problem. If you want to use the drives on both platforms they need to be re-partitioned using the APM partition scheme.
Also, you should not use Mac OS Standard. You should use Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

Firewire: kernel panic in: fwnet_write_complete

The system falls to kernel panic when I copy lots of files from laptop via firewire.
kernel is 2.6.32.2-2
# lspci
04:03.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Agere Systems FW322/323 (rev 70)
don't have digital cam to screenshot it:
Call Trace:

[<xxxxxxxx>] ? close_transaction+0xda/0xf0 [firewire_core]

EIP: [<xxxxxxxx>] fwnet_write_complete+0x2c/0x160 [firewire_net] SS:ESP 0068:f7079e40
UPD:
lesser MTU value has no effect.
no kernel panic with "-maxcpus=1" boot option, but that surely inacceptable.

Kernel panics w/Firewire CD drive

Hi. I'm running a 500MHz TiBook, with OS X, 10.4.3. Ever since the last security update (the large one that came out on the 29th, I believe) I've been getting kernel panics. They seem to be tied into my older FireWire CD burner. Whenever I start up my computer with it connected, the computer starts up and immediatly goes to kernel panic. When I plug it into my laptop, it does the same thing. I've tried every combination of devices I can, it pretty much always happens. (I've managed to get it to work twice, but nothing was different.) Had absolutely no problems with the burner before the update, and it still works on my roomate's G4 Powermac running Panther. Other firewire devices all run perfectly normal on my laptop.
The CD burner is a QPS bran Que!Fire CDRW 4x4x24.
I've searched on these forums and elsewhere, and haven't found very much that applies to my situation, and the few things I have found don't work. I'm probably just searching on the wrong terms.
I pulled up the panic log from Console. It follows below. If anyone's got any leads or ideas, that'd be great. I'm still trying to contact QPS. It was suggested I redo the firmware on the CD drive using another computer; Que's website gives a dead link to a forum. When I tracked that site down, they didn't have what was needed. So yeah, any help is much appreciated! thanks!
