Kernel 2.6.27 and ipw4965 problems

I am not 100% sure, but think it's after upgrading the kernel to newest version (see subj), i having troubles with my wireless network, using the ipw4965 module. if i'm downloading for full speed (20Mbit) over about 5 mins the wifi stalls, and cannot get it up working unles im restarting the computer.
Earlier for about 4-6 months ago, i have the same problems, and after an kernel upgrade the problem seems to be solved, but now it's back
anyone got a solution ?

I think you may be affected by this:

I need help !! ... keyboard cures for kernel panics(??) and other problems of unknown nature

OK, let's just start with I'm an idiot !! I know very little and more than enough to be dangerous !!
The machine is a G4 QS 800 DP running Tiger 10.4.11, it had been working well until about 10 days / 2 weeks ago when problems started, about the same time the Firefox, 3.6.18 update came out and I installed it, the problems may have started BEFORE the FF update by a couple of hours, just not sure now.
I was surfing the net and was interrupted with frozen, darkened screen with a multi language message saying I needed to restart the computer, OK, did that, then about an hour later the same darker screen and message, Ok do it again, then again less than an hourlater again, then 45 mins., then 1/2 hr, then another 1/2 hr, then 20 mins., it continued like this for the next 5 to 7 hours, and 9 or 10 "crashes", all the time the same message, I never saw anything else on the screen for any kind of warning or kernel panic (don't know where they show up).
So the battery is 15 months old and tests good (bought a new one anyway, no change, same problems), did the PMU, several times, for sure wrong & to often, no help there, maybe one out of 100 times I could get it to stay on & get online for awhile by holding the command +S keys till the grey screen started, then release them, the rest of the time, it would begin to start up, 10 to15 seconds and die, ... getting very frustrated I tried the reset on the front, no change, then try the "programmers button" (I said I was dangerously smart) then combinations of PMU, reset, prog'mer buttons, Battery out PMU , battery in Pmu, everything disconnected each time, grounding myself each time, trying to not screw up, but knowing I must have many times, even tried a GOOD HDD that BDAqua checked & partitioned for me that is still blank (no OS yet) with install disc & holding C down, still no good action, for few try's I had both hdd's plugged in and got small icon's 1 & 2 for both hdd's while they were in & plugged in.
I talked with BDAqua on saturday, late, after hours, he had already waited for me, so as I described what I had done, HE said that the PMU should be held for 20 TO 25 seconds (or longer maybe in some cases, my impression of what I was hearing), and here is the BIG THING he said that gave me an idea to ask this question, BDAqua asked if I had / suggested I try, doing the PRAM RESET 5 TIMES IN A ROW, of course I had not, and haven't yet. I did do it a few times in all that I was trying, but never in a row, because 1 time never got a positive result, I didb't think of multiple resets (I'm not all that smart, just dangerous). but from our talk, I think I understand it to mean, It may take many ( or multiples of 5 ?) to clear out (flush out the evil demons from the kernels ???) .......
SO MY QUESTION IS THIS; WHAT ARE THE MAGIC KEYBOARD STEPS / KEY COMBO'S, AND / OR PMU, OR RESET BUTTON, OR PROGRAMMER BUTTON SEQUENCES TO FOLLOW, BEFORE I GIVE UP AND CHANGE THE MOBO, CPU'S, OR WHATEVER, TO TRY AND SALVAGE MY G4 QS ???
ARE THERE MULTIPLES 5 (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 PMU RESETS TO CURE CERTAIN problems, like magic combinations ???)
....... any tricks of the trade that I can try, I have only had this machine for15 months and really like it and want cure it's troubles and WHAT EVER I DID TO IT THAT WAS WRONG !!!, it's a self esteem thing at this point, I can let it beat me because I hurt it, I must make it good to sve my own feelings, even though I did wrong, I must make ammends !!!
Many Thanks To All That Take The Time To Read This, ... And More Thanks to Those Who Help, My Deepest Apprecaition To All, ...... wayne146 .......

The PMU reset button is a momentary contact switch because the reset only requires momentary contact.
Another myth is that more than 2 chimes during a PRAM reset resets better.
A reset is a reset.
If you need more than is done in a PRAM reset after 2 chimes, use the NVRAM reset in Open Firmware.

Kernel panics, crashes, shutdowns, and video problems

Hey guys,
My girlfriend bought a black Macbook about 8 weeks ago. 3 weeks ago she started having the random shut-off problems, crash issues, etc that many have had. So then she took the system to the Genius Bar and they shipped it to Apple. She got the laptop back just 1 week ago after they replaced the logic board and the heat sink. Over the past two days she's having this problem again.
Here's a picture of it:
After talking to AppleCare for about an hour on Tuesday, they reset the Power Management Unit on her laptop again. They also did a Hardware Test and asked her to reformat and reinstall Tiger. The rep said that if the same problem as before was happening again, she'd be termed a "looper" (which my guess means that they'll do a replacement). It seemed to be working fine until earlier today.
It randomly shut off, or reboots. Other times it shuts off the screen and keeps running... screen goes black, but you can feel the HD spinning, etc. It also had a kernel panic which said "Unable to find driver for this platform: ACPI". Also there was a crash where it was a gray screen with some horizontal color bars. After running the hardware tests it found no problems. After running memtest for several hours I also got no errors. Then she called AppleCare and visited the Genius Bar again, and they said they cannot replace the machine and all they can do right now is send it back for repairs. She cannot wait that long again for another repair. Last time it took over a week and it didn't seem to fix whatever problems this MacBook is having.
Any ideas on what to do? Having a week-long downtime again on a brand-new computer is not acceptable.

Kernel task 300% CPU and sleep problem

MacBook Air 13-inch, Early 2014, ПО OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
The system seems overloaded, big delays on keyboard typing. Activity Monitor shows kernel_task consume 300-400% of CPU, but otherwise system does not look as overloaded - laptop is not hot
and fan silent.
Also there is problems with system wakeup. It is impossible to wakeup system after closing the lid for more then 20 seconds, it turns off.
I think you have to add battery info.

In safe mode the problem does not go away. Actual overheating the computer does not have, it is cold. The problem is with the power on and without. All programs are not included in the basic package, I removed. I also tried to reinstall the OS with the protection of personal data. The problem exist. The problem may be due to high humidity? I live in Sri Lanka. And there is a problem with sleep mode.

Coputer worked fine in Mac OSX 10.4.3
Problems:
After updating to 10.4.5... and reinstalling the system 5-6 times from scratch I have been getting kernel panics, spinning wheels and restart dialogs on startup intermittent.
The latest panic:
Panic (cpu 0 caller 0x002E0368) Unable to find driver for this platform PowerMac 8,1.
Kernel Version 8.5.0
There have been all sorts of kernel panics but I don't get a panic log since system seems to panic in such an early stage.
This has been done, more than once:
- Disconnected everything
- Reformatted HD and reinstalled from original CD
- Downloaded combo updates from Apple website and installed them after repairing disc and permissions first.
- Starts fine
- Repaired permissions again, after restart.
- installed one app at a time (latest updates on every app), allways restarting to see if everything still is fine, which it is.
- Reconnecting external drive, burner, printer etc. allways checking if everything is fine by doing a reboot. It is.
Computer seems happy, and so am I...
Next morning, a kernel panic, or a reboot dialog or spinning wheel at startup. I reboot, cross my fingers, and it starts up first, second or third try. No panic log other than the screen on startup.
- I reinstall combo update, restart and do a command-alt-P-R on the #&%?! and everything is fine... untill next day.
- I run Apple Diagnostic and there is a problem with one of the memory cards. I try it again and again looping. Now no problems found?! So I rum Memtest and still no problems found.
- I do this over and over againg to the point of physical illness.
- I reboot from my external drive with 10.4.3 without any problems whatsoever.
- Go back to 10.4.5 and the problems start again.
- I remove Apple caches, Extension caches, ATS and all that. Boots fine... untill next day?!
The most irritating thing is that once the computer boots up there are no apparent problems whatsoever using it.
I have read every post on kernel panics here, at apple website and at The X Lab. Tried - in my opinion - everything without getting to the bottom of it.
What did I forget?
What havent I tried?
I want my trusted Mac back!
Very thankful for any help whatsoever.
P.s. Since the computer works fine in 10.4.3 I don't see the point of taking it to service. It has to bee software related, no?

Thank You for Your quick responce!
I have 2 1GB DIMMs installed from the shop when I bought my iMac. I read http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86814 about iMac Memory Specs and if I understand it correctly I could remove one of the DIMMs to test if the problem goes away. Although the computer will run better with two DIMMs it will work with one slot empty as well.
Did I understand that correctly?

Custom kernel 2.6.25 and nvidia

I have compiled a custom kernel the 'traditional' way, that is, make and make modules_install and now I am having trouble getting the nvidia driver to work
I usually just install it through pacman, but that doesn't work with the custom kernel.
So my next step was to follow the wiki.
I changed the kernel names in the PKGBUILD and nvidia.install that i got from my abs tree, and when I install with makepkg -i -c everything goes well.
However, when I try to start X again, it crashes and says it cannot find the NVIDIA kernel module. I don't fully understand everything in the PKGBUILD and it is quite possible there is some other line or path that needs to be changed. Please, I am at my wit's end.

I don't use Arch package for nvidia as script is unable to install modules on several kernels at the same time and I want to boot to X irrelevant of kernel loaded. I never had any problems with custom kernels 2.6.25 and nvidia 169 or 173
current status:
$ find /lib/modules/ -name nvidia.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.25-zen0-GIGUE/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.25-zen1-preview3-FADO/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.25-zen1-SARABANDE/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.25-zen1-GAVOTTE/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
all boots fine, none crash/freeze. Never patched 169 or 173
Well, it looks like the 169 installer would always put nvidia.ko in the /lib/modules/2.6.24 directory, no matter if i was currentlyusing a different kernel or not so im not sure what is going on there.
must be some quirk on your box. Have not seen this.

any Help ?
thanks a lot
Steven

Hi Steven,
the database kernel checks with every read the header trailer. If it got a mismatch during read the error message you got is logged.
The same checkes will be executed when you create a backup. You told us that the backup could be executed without any errors and that the system where you created the backup is ok as well -> you executed a Check data?
Now everything looks like the error is in the backup and happened during writies to the external backup medium. Or the backup is ok and then the error happens during read from the external medium.
To get closer to the reason where the problem is located I need to have some more information.
1. You did the restore several times?
2. Did the bad Data Page shappens always on the same page -> Check knldiag.err
3. Did you do your backup on tape?
4. Did you try to create a backup into a file?
5. Does the restore from file got the error as well?

Boot and Reliability Problem

Greetings,
In August 2008 I bought my first Mac and ever since have trouble with it. I already contacted Apple Support, Sonnet Support, Lacie Support, still there is no solution on the table.
I thought, before I have the maschine picked up I give it a shot in these fora.
My configuration:
Mac Pro 3.0Ghz, 16 Gig, 4x 750 Gig HD internal, 3x 1TB external (Time capsule, 2x Lacie quadra), Sonnet E4P.
My main problems:
1. Noise level:
The maschine emits a humming noise, intervalling up and down, probably located where the PSU is installed (decibel meter check). The noise is clearly audble, even over the AHT noise of the fans speeding up. The resonance can be felt if a hand is put on the chassis.
I asked friends with similiar maschines, and none of them reports this extremly annoying hum. I checked the HD sleds, all sits tight.
I assume this is only able to be resolved by sending the maschine to service.
2. Boot and Reliability Problems:
If my Mac is out over night, and on booting it up in the morning, it takes around 6-7 minutes until boot cycle is complete. If I am not mistaken, this should be more in the region of 30 seconds.
Up until recently, after boot OSX did not find a harddrive, but I solved this, the reason was that the useless dealer I bought it from formatted one internal drive as MS-DOS FAT, go figure.
However, I need to run a RAID-0 via OSX, and will exchange the WD Caviar SE for WD 1TB RE3 for that purpose. I am also having trouble with my xternal Lacie Drives on Sonnet E4P, but I send system logs and reports to Sonnet still waiting on their answer.
Would it be correct to assume that less than one minute is a more appropriate boot up time?
Does anyone else around here have this noise problem I described?
Best wishes
OVS

Good evening The Hatter,
yeah, I studied a couple of those threads and tried to apply findings. Tell me, you say you have your MCP on the side, does that not cause problems for the DVD drive and/or other parts. The MCP does not look as if it is designed to lay on it's side.
I tried to de couple the chassis from the floor with heavy carpet underlay, still the same. I am not fuzzy, but this sound is really disturbing in a quiet environment, and I often need it quiet when I work on photographs. I left the case open, I pushed the lever half way up, nothing resolved that.
Allow me to ask you something else, you seem to have a lot of Mac years under your belt, would you think my boot problems can come from a dodgy OSX installation? The dealer I bought it from in August installed everything, but has proven to be rather incompetent and very sloppy. The first few weeks, on 10.54, I had probably 8-10 kernel crashes, which stopped after 10.5.5 and so far only occurs when I use sleep mode, hence I can;t use it anymore.
The pain in the butt is that I probably would be best advised to do a complete clean install, hence have to authorise all my software again. - Sigh - I intend to wait with that until i received new HD's.
Best wishes
OVS

[Solved] Kernel 2.6.34 and bad sound

Hello everyone, I've just updated to kernel 2.6.34 and... surprise! Sound is jerkily if I play a video on my machine. If I watch a video, for instance, from YouTube, both video and audio runs faster.
I'm running Arch x86_64 and
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
is the audio card.

- sound
3. Is this a desktop, or a laptop?
This is Samsung laptop (R20plus, NP-R20FY0C if it helps), three years old, with ATI SB600 chipset and ATI Xpress 1250 onboard VGA card.
It had plenty issues with video (as I said, especially with KMS, but with generic VESA drivers sometimes too), and some problems with correct HDA codec autodetection (until 2.6.33).
Just rebooted into hand-made 2.6.33 under "testing" system, all seems to be OK there.
Also, these glithes are not constant for me, they begin if my system is under load only (not really heavy one, for example, it begin to glitch if I scroll page in Konqueror (my main test for this bug)

J2ee Kernel version is SP13 and Visual administrator verison is SP18

Hi Experts! recently we had applied SP18 (initial level SP14) in EP system via SDM but when I try to connect J2ee_admin gives a popup message as "j2ee kernel version is Sp13 and visual admin version is SP18) Why?
I had updated Kernel upto 185/Unicode/700_rel via usr/sap/SID/sys/exe/uc/ntamd64 only but i havn't updated new files via usr/sap/SID/JCXX/exe, even though both places are showing latest level via disp+work command.
Can I update j2ee engine 7.00 SP18 again. please give proper solution to solve this issue. My environment is
Windows X64/DB2/Unicode/700.
Thanks.

Problem solved.....error occured due to the "j2ee core700" patch..........

Kernel 2.6.22 and kvm-modules

I'm running a Core2 machine, in 686 mode, on kernel 2.6.22 from testing. I have installed kvm-modules-28, and when I modprobe kvm, I get this response:
kvm: Unknown symbol set_64bit
I have been searching all over google, rebuilt my kernel with different options and nothing seems to cure what ails it. Does anyone know what's wrong here? KVM used to work.
Thanks,
Adam

That fixed my problem. I removed kvm-modules and re-synced my kernel, in case kvm-modules had trashed my kvm.ko files.
Also one thing that would really help would be to add the udev-rules from the kvm-modules and create the group kvm. I don't know if that's appropriate with the mainline kernel or not, though.
We'll have to re-add the rules and some other files in the qemu package (which includes the userspace kvm stuff).

Kernels 3.10.6 and 3.10.7 fail to boot with EFI stub

Been using rEFInd for some time now. Current installed version is 0.7.1. Kernels 3.10.5 and earlier would boot without incident. Yesterday I upgraded to 3.10.6 and boot failed. As a workaround, I copied the Liquorix kernel and initramfs from my Kubuntu partition; to my mild surprise, this worked. My next test was to install the 3.10.7 Zen kernel from heftig's repository. This kernel boots fine (I added a version number string to the name of the kernel image and the initramfs so that rEFInd would automatically match them). After that, I enabled Arch testing and updated the Arch kernel to 3.10.7; this also fails to boot just like the 3.10.6 kernel did.
I'm a fan of boot text, so I've configured rEFInd in text mode only. Here's my refind.conf, with almost no changes from defaults:
timeout 20
textonly 1

Steve, your picture is far too large for these forums. You are going to want to put it in some kind of a picture sharing/hosting site and link back to it. Otherwise it will end up disappeared (likely via black magic) from your post. I don't think that it provides any useful information anyway. If you want to post your kernel command line that is great. But posting a picture of a frozen screen with no output... doesn't really do much good.
Efistub has been a bit shaky since 3.6 actually. There is a monster thread about this already, the title of which references 3.6, but the content continues on through several kernel releases. Still people continually report this as being an issue. What I do is I keep a normal efi bootloader (one that doesn't rely on efistub) at the ready all the time. My choice was elilo, but since [testing] started including syslinux-efi in the syslinxu package, I have started using that... though I still have elilo set up.
Can you boot with efistub from the UEFI Shell or gummiboot? I prefer gummiboot, but I have had this problem in the past, and when I did, I was able to boot with rEFInd... which was strange. Some people even report that simply having a direct efibootmgr entry in their firmware causes it to magically work. Though there should be to reasonable explanation for this, it was confirmed by several people in the mentioned thread.

MBP 13'' Display and Screen Problems.

HELP!
I've posted about this problem before, and I've read all the threads, but my problem is not resolved despite sending my new MBP back to Apple to sort it out. They fitted a new logic board, but it has made no difference. My machine is still under warranty.
The MBP continues to totally freeze when connected to an external projector via the mini port using VGA. The computer screen goes a funny blue-ish color with everything out of focus and the pointer freezes, too. It has also started to make a funny buzzing noise, too. I have to restart the entire machine, which is not very convenient right in the middle of using it. It is an intermittent problem. Sometimes, the machine is working OK for a few days, other days it crashes several times.
I have read that this may be something to do with 32 bit versus 64 bit Kernel start up. Some suggest resetting the PRAM and system manager, but I'm still struggling. Does anyone know what the real issue is? A solution would be great.
By the way, I am resorting to using my old MBP (Nov 2006 15" model) and it works perfectly still, no matter what projector it is connected to. It is frustrating the **** out of me as I bought the 13'' to have more power and RAM and it is easier to lug about the place, but I can't use it as I need to connect it up to various projectors at work.
Any expert out there? I'd really appreciate a solution to this problem. Is it only confined to the MBP 13", or has the 15" got similar problems? From the threads, I can tell this has been a big issue for people using their computers in conjunction with a projector.

You should not be having those type of problems on a brand new Mac. Did you call AppleCare about this? If not why not?
You have 90 days of free phone tech support from Apple on top of your one year warranty. Strongly suggest that you use it before you lose it! You already missed your 14 day from the date of purchase to return your MBP for a refund or an exchange.

Hi Danny,
Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
but not 180, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
or
=SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
Regards,
Vicky Liu
