System log: kernel Debug 2.0.38 m378d97c0 0

This message has been appearing in system.log
kernel Debug 2.0.38 m378d97c0 0
Any idea what this is refering to?

What is the frequency of that message in your syslog?
Nine times in the past 24 hours. But oddly enough, I'm now seeing debug in other messages as well as well:
kernel Debug System Sleep
kernel Debug System Wake
I recently installed TTP 4.6.1, which is the only thing I can think of that might be related, though why it would put the kernel into debug mode is beyond me. I'll have to do some more research. Thanks.

System.log, kernel[0]: file: table is full

After updating to Mac OS X 10.4.6, apache no longer runs on my PowerBook G4. I run apache for local web work and it has been running fine for a long time.
When I run do sudo apachectl start:
sudo apachectl start
/usr/local/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
it cannot be started and /var/log/system.log shows:
kernel[0]: file: table is full
All I could find after searching the Internet via Google, Google Groups, Apple Knowledge Base, etc. are these reasons:
* Not enough sufficient free contiguous disk space on the volume. Need to optimize hard drive.
* Bad node on the hard drive.
* Defective hard drive.
I ran Disk Utility - Repair Permission and Repair Disk and both found no errors or problem. There were a few file permissions corrected, but that is all.
I also booted in to Mac OS X Safe Mode (CMD+S) and ran /sbin/fsck -yf and no errors were found/reported.
Since Mac OS X lacks a disk optimizer, I wondered where I could get a disk optimizer and whether optimize the volume would even correct this error.
Any free utilities to optimize the HFS+ volume in Mac OS X 10.4.6?
Apple's Support Knowledge Base states to either optimize the volume or do an Archive and Install. I cannot do an Archive and Install method due to my setup (MySQL, Apache, etc.).

Hi, Mark.
I'm not an Apache guru, but you may have two different issues here, depending on when the
kernel[0]: file: table is full
message is time-stamped relative to when you issue the
sudo apachectl start command.
1. Looking at the results of this Google search and some others tends to indicate that common causes for httpd could not be started are errors in the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file.
You might also want to take a look at some of these other Discussions threads and in these "Networking and the Web" Discussion threads.
2. One explanation I've found for kernel[0]: file: table is full is here.
Hope these ideas help.
Good luck!

I'm having a hard time analyzing where this problem come from.
Immediately after upgrading to 10.4.11, I thought the messages had disappeared and my hard drive was finally working correctly. I mounted it correctly and transferred about 7GB with no problem at all.
However, some time later I connected the hard drive again and got a hard crash (finder, the applications freeze with no recovery => hard reboot). This was while the console was outputting the "Firewire GUID XXX is invalid!" message.
Hardware Test returns no error. Here is a sample log I got when connecting the drive, a while back:

At this point I think it might be a problem with the firewire hardware on my macbook, but I have no certainty...
Any ideas ? Shall I return my laptop to a repair center ?

** UPDATE I had a PS2 camera plugged in via a macam quicktime driver. That may have been the cause. Simply unplugging it seems to have helped. I think Flash sites were fighting for the camera and causing unnecessary delays.? I had the same errors coming from Safari. Whatever, I can browse again..

Well - maybe it isn't a SATA driver system.log. I can't read the system.log because it keeps refreshing so the data in on the screen for less than a second before it refreshes. AND there is so much disk thashing that the system is barely responsive.
The only visible log entries are:
Jul 19 04:28:10 Platinum kernel[0]: Inic1622: SATA - Int no command active (repeated about ten times)
Jul 19 04:28:10 Platinum kernel[0]: and active
and repeat....
The log file is showing a size of 4.5 GB

System.log flooding - strange loop every 10sec.

Unfortunately for us, we decided to update the computers in our office to 10.5.
Among other problems our server has become unstable - it has spontaneusly crashed twice in two weeks.
I tried to find the reason by looking at logs and I found it quite difficult since now a couple of processes are for some reason looping all the time and flooding the system logs.
Can someone tell what this means? Something about MySql but we aren't supposed to running any as I know...

It seems pretty clear that mysql is trying to load, but failing for some reason ('Too many arguments').
I doubt that's the cause of your instability, but it's easy to stop MySQL from loading. Open a terminal window and run:
sudo launchctl unload -w org.mysql.mysqld
Hopefully that'll clear up the logs and make it easier to spot the issue.

Mac Pro freezes frequently after "NVChannel" error in system.log

Hi,
Can anybody here with a 2008 Mac Pro run the Folding @ Home client without hard crashing the Mac?
I have a 2008-model Mac Pro, with the nVidia GeForce 8800 GT, which freezes frequently. As detailed in an earlier post[1], the graphics driver sees to be implicated, as just before the freezes, messages like this appear in the system log:
kernel kern 3/30/08 7:53:52 PM Debug NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0x6 = Fifo: Parse Error
kernel kern 3/30/08 7:53:52 PM Debug 0000000b
If you google for "NVChannel freeze" then you will find many many Mac owners whose machines freeze with similar symptoms. Apple recently released the "Leopard Graphics Update" which fixes such problems for some users, but not others.
In my 2008 Mac Pro's case, I have found a way to trigger the freeze 100% of the time: install the freeware Folding@Home client[2], and run the demo in the Applications folder. Just opening this app causes those messages to appear in the log, and then the Mac freezes.
I work for a software company which writes Mac software, so now that I have found a reliable way to reproduce this issue, I will be filing a bug report through Apple's bug system. But for my own sanity, I would like to collect more info, if possible.
If you have a 2008 Mac Pro and want to be cool, try running the Folding @ Home client app (link below) and post in this thread:
a.) whether or not your Mac froze
b.) what video card you have
c.) how much RAM you have
Thanks!

Yup… this is a memory fault and you should firstly try reseating the RAM and memory Risers (even change the slots they are in - depending on your configuration of course). The can often remove these issues.
Failing that, I would contact the RAM vendor and discuss it with them. Depending on how they sell things it might be simpler to send a kit, as in two DIMMs, back for replacement rather than a single DIMM that is part of a kit. Also, unless they specifically match your original DIMMs then you'd be better of returning both.

anyone known which process is doing that ?

Yup. Same issue here. It's quite disconcerting.

SATA driver flooding System.log, filling up startup disk

My system.log seems to be filling up with SATA error messages, about 10 per second. The log is now so large that I can't even get the Console app to open it (only in Open Quick, which seems to show little snippets of the log only).
This seems to have started when I installed an Initio 1623 SATA controller as part of a GraniteDigital drive upgrade. The controller worked, the drives worked. I've since pulled the controller card, but it seems the driver continues to flood the log file!
The drivers for the controller are apparently built in to OSX (at least in 10.4.7...) so there is no way to update the driver separately.
Restarting the machine hasn't helped. For now, I have to keep moving files to other disks to keep this G5 functioning.
How can I A) delete the log file to gain some time?
B) make this error stop?
Thanks.

Well - maybe it isn't a SATA driver system.log. I can't read the system.log because it keeps refreshing so the data in on the screen for less than a second before it refreshes. AND there is so much disk thashing that the system is barely responsive.
The only visible log entries are:
Jul 19 04:28:10 Platinum kernel[0]: Inic1622: SATA - Int no command active (repeated about ten times)
Jul 19 04:28:10 Platinum kernel[0]: and active
and repeat....
The log file is showing a size of 4.5 GB

System log query is flooded with the message.. WindowServer[]: WSSetTrackingAreaEnabled : Invalid tracking area

Hello apple community (: quick question
my system log query is flooded with the message..
"8/29/14 12:10:12.258 PM WindowServer[176]: WSSetTrackingAreaEnabled : Invalid tracking area 0x61000089f220"
it has shown me after i run Mavericks Cache Cleaner to clean my computer. in my Activity Log, WindowServer[176] is taking up anywhere from 5 - 20 cpu at a time. (maybe more haven't watched it for too long)
what do i do fix this? i recently updated to OS X and i haven't payed attention to the errors until now (i'm an idiot i know..) so i don't exactly know when it all started happening. sorry all just hoping someone will have an idea.

What functional problem do you have, if any? Log messages are not a problem in themselves.

RV325 System Log Entries - Kernel - kernel: wrong ip[0],not_list[0]

Hello,
I have a RV325 Router. Entries in the System Log are mysterious to me and all my search results and reading are not relevant.
The Event-Type is - "Kernel", and the Message is "kernel: wrong ip[0],not_list[0]"
The Log entries occur every few minutes.
Does anyone know what this log entry signifies?
Also, does anyone know how to get an answer to any question from Cisco?
Thanks,
Michael Downs

Hello
yes, there are several existing discussions about same syslog message, like here, here or here, but neither of discussions points to solution.
If you device is still under warranty I would suggest you to open service request to Cisco Small Business Support Center to make this issue fixed permanently.

RV325 System Log Entries - Kernel - kernel: The MAC table overflow. (Neighbour table overflow.)

Hi, Mark.
I'm not an Apache guru, but you may have two different issues here, depending on when the
kernel[0]: file: table is full
message is time-stamped relative to when you issue the
sudo apachectl start command.
1. Looking at the results of this Google search and some others tends to indicate that common causes for httpd could not be started are errors in the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file.
You might also want to take a look at some of these other Discussions threads and in these "Networking and the Web" Discussion threads.
2. One explanation I've found for kernel[0]: file: table is full is here.
Hope these ideas help.
Good luck!

Numerous system log errors such as: "kernel[0]: ... dyld_shared_cache_x86_64': owned by uid=89 instead of 0" ... what is the underlying problem here?

My system.log shows numerous errors such as: "kernel[0]: ... dyld_shared_cache_x86_64': owned by uid=89 instead of 0" ...
What is the underlying problem here?

Are you trying to install anything by any chance??
update_dyld_shared_cache ensures that dyld's shared cache is up-to-date. This tool is normally only run by Apple's Installer and Software Update, as they are the only official ways for OS dylibs to be updated. But if for some reason you used another mechanism to alter an OS dylib, you should manually run update_dyld_shared_cache.

System.log flooded by mail

Hi
To analyze a crashing program, I looked into system.log and saw that it's flooded by messages from mail.
When I googled this I had almost no results, am I the only one bugged by this or am I missing something.
Is there a way to make mail logging less verbose?
The enormous IMAPMessageDetails are non informative and make the log unreadable.
The other entries I can live with, but is also too much for my taste.
