Kernel Panic ACIP drivers not found installing OS X (10.4.9) on External HD

Hi
, my internal HD on the Macbook ( Macbook White 13" Core2Duo , 2007 Edition) died a couple of days ago ( Seagate HD started to make noises and was not recognice by the Macbook ).
So i wanted to install the OS X on a External HD (Transcend Storejet 25D3 640Gig, so that i could boot the mac from the External.
The Format and Partition of the HD and so the installation of the first DvD runs without any Problem, but when its finish and wants to re-boot, i got the Kernel Panic on the drivers not found for the ACIP.
Its not possible at all to install and Boot a Macbook using OS X from a External HD ? Or, what i'm doing wrong here ? Any Ideas ?
Thanks a lot
Indy72

Hi Lissa
, thanks for your help, but i replace the external HD with the "broken" internal HD and was able to continue with the installation without any problems. It seems that for some reason its not working to get some drivers for the USB connection of the HD, maybe by firewire would have work, but i dont have one =) .
Now lets hope that the Seagate Momentus 5400.3 ST9120822AS its not badly damage so that some Data can be restored.

Core Audio Drivers not Found Error (no Logic Pro Installed)

I am receiving the following error in GarageBand 08 and was hoping someone might be able to assist.
When recording with a USB mic in GarageBand 08 (MXL USB.006) I sometimes get the following error: (Core Audio Drivers not Found). The error occurs after I have completed a recording session and removed the USB mic. (The error occurs regardless of if I close GB before removing the mic; but only occasionally)
In checking the GB preferences, the Built-In audio option has disappeared from the drop down menu entirely for both Audio Input and Audio Output (although it still can find the USB mic if I reattach). In the Utilities folder, audio preferences, the Built-In audio option is also missing from the drop downs. (Not grayed out -- missing).
In researching the problem, it looks like a similar problem occurs with the Logic Pro suite but I don't have that installed on my Mac (and never have). In contacting MXL support, they noted that it was a problem with Leopard and they didn't have a fix.
At this point, I'm looking for either (1) a fix I've missed in my research or (2) an easy way to reinstall/replace/find the drivers without having to restore my system from backup. I've received the error three times now and restoring from back up - which clears the error and restores the drop down - is getting tiresome.
Thank you!

Thank you for the suggestion! I believe that was the issue the first time I lost the drivers. Unfortunately, even resetting the inputs and closing GB before disconnecting doesn't guarantee my Built-In audio won't disappear. Thank you for trying though!

JDBC drivers not found---Pls help

Hi All,
Pls help me out to solve this issue
I have XI 3.0 and R3 4.7 EE seperately . (Both are for education purpose)
While doing JDBC scenario, I got error <b>"JDBC drivers not found"</b> in Adapter Framework. When contacted I was told to install JDBC drivers according to R3 4.7 EE's Database version and not to disturb XI database. We have Oracle database for R3 4.7 EE.
My questions are
1. Is that correct that I should not disturb XI database ?
2. If I install JDBC drivers according to R3 4.7 EE's Database version , In future will I get any problem like the same and other when I do JDBC scenario ?
3. I have been searching but not getting the right place to download JDBC drivers.
Could you please give me the link where I can download JDBC drivers ?
Thanks in advance

How do I get past the drivers not found problem during Windows 7 install?

I have a brand new (March 2012) MBP running Mac OS 10.7.3 (Lion) with a SuperDrive. I'm trying to use Boot Disk Assistant to install Windows 7 with a valid Windows 7 DVD burned from an .iso. I've partitioned the 750 GB HDD with 500 GB for Mac OS and 250 GB for Windows. The system reboots and starts to install Windows 7. Then it pops up an error:
"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step."
Of course, I can't eject the Windows setup DVD because the eject button doesn't work so I can insert the Windows Support Software that I downloaded from Apple. So, I copied the Windows Support Software to a USB drive.
Once I get to this point, I can browse to the USB drive and I get the following file tree:

The only directory that the installer recognizes as having valid drivers is the Intel > Chipset > WIN7. When I select all of the drivers listed, the installer acts like it's installing something but then it stops saying that new devices were not found. I can't get past this point. The Windows 7 installer will not continue. If I select any of the other directories, I get the message "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK."
Any thoughts? Admittedly, this is the my first experience dealing with Mac OS and I'm completely out of my league. However, this is a Windows installation issue and I'm getting hung up on device drivers. Usually in the PC world, I can easily go to the manufacturer's website and just download the drivers I need directly.

valid Windows 7 DVD burned from an .iso.
Usually burned ISO to DVD only works when burn speed is set to slowest.
Otherwise there are a number of problems with the install failing to do proper install, sometimes not even booting to start the install. Trouble is from using Apple Disk Utility. Burned in Windows, the ISO will be fine. Using Disk Utility at slowest has become "try reburn again at reduced speed."
You can use mouse on startup to eject DVDs but what you want is your drivers later after Windows is installed, and have them on USB flash or something.
you don't need any drivers except in a few cases (MacBook Air that lacks DVD and uses USB-DVDs)

[SOLVED] Kernel panic at boot: not syncing. No init found.

Hello, I know some people had this problem before but no solution seems to help me.
I'm having this kernel panic at the very beggining of boot (here is a screenshot)
The init= parameter given by grub is correct: /usr/lib/systemd/systemd and I double checked the root= parameter, it is by uuid but I also tried by device name (/dev/sda7) and by label.
Using the output of a new `grub-mkconfig` didn't fix it either.
Here is my grub.cfg
I tried running `mkinitcpio -v -p linux` (I use the 3.8 kernel from core but also tried the 3.9 from testing, same result)
Here is my mkinitcpio.conf and the output of `mkinitcpio -v -p linux`
I checked the filesystems of my / and /boot partitions with badblocks and fsck, no problem from here. (I also tried reformating my swap with mkswap as the second line of kernel panic mention swapper even though I didn't understand that line, I just gave it a try).
I really don't know what to do now, my guess is that the initramfs can't mount the root partition but the root= parameter is correct and everything mount well under a liveCD (this is from where I try to fix it).
I love archlinux and it's community, I just don't know what to do now, thanks in advance for your advice.
EDIT:
Forgot to tell since when this happen.
I was playing Kerbal Space Program yesterday, the game filled up my RAM, my computer was no longer responding (it happens to me a few times a month if I forgot to close firefox before playing for example).
I had to hard shutdown, then on the boot I get this panic.

Thank you for your answer.
fdisk -l /dev/sda
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
Should I care about the other lines mentioning root= ? For the moment I only touch this line :
` linux /vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=c54afd90-88a2-4c27-a497-f689f30a5b2c init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd ro `

Start Up disk problem following kernel panic-mounts but not as a boot drive

I have a problem that I can't solve.
Dual processor G4 with 3 hard drive, all of which are bootable drives with 10.4.7 installed:
A- my primary boot drive - internal SCSI drive (Adaptec PowerDomain 2930U PCI card);
B - internal hard drive that came with the G4; and
C - external Firewire hard drive
Recently, I booted into my B drive and it locked up after it went into sleep mode. On reboot, I experienced a number of kernel panic messages, prompting me to restart my computer.
PROBLEM: Since that time, I have not been able to get my A drive to once again be the Startup Disk.
Diagnostic steps that I have performed:
i. I have run and re-run Disk Warrior from a bootable CD and the A drive as well as the other 2 hard drives mount and are "repaired" by DiskWarrior.
ii. TechTools Pro shows no hardware problems and whatever glitches it has found were repaired.
iii. Disk Utilities consistently returns "Volume passed verification."
iv. Zapped the PRAM
The A drive does mount and is accessible whenever either the B drive or the C drive is the bootable drive.
System Preferences/Startup Disk lists the A drive as a candidate whenever either the B drive or the C drive is the bootable drive. However, when the A drive is selected in System Preferences, on reboot, it doesn't become the boot drive.
I have tried to restart and hold the "C" key down so that I might possibly be able to select the boot drive from A, B or C. But the C key method doesn't produce the intended result, only reverting back to the boot drive in power prior to the reboot. That occurs whether the boot drive is B or C.
At that stage, rightfully or wrongfully, since the problem persisted whether the B or C drives were the startup disk I concluded that the problem could be hardware related and not software related.
On one of the reboots following the kernel panics, a Crash Report was produced - the verbiage
which is code related and so far above my knowledge and experience that it is incomprehensible to me. I can post it separately if helpful but it won't fit in this email message due to restrictions on length of messages.
I haven't had a kernel panic following any of the last 50+ restarts that have accompanied my attempted diagnostics.
Finally, I ran the Apple Hardware Test, version 1.2.6, that came with my G4. First, I removed all peripherals except the monitor, keyboard and mouse (plugged into the keyboard), the Adaptec SCSI card, and a 3rd party FW/USB2 PCI card (OrangeLink+). I ran the Extended Test and an error code was generated during the logic board test: Error Code fire/5/2
That gave me some hope. I next removed the 3rd party FW/USB2 PCI card (OrangeLink+) and re-ran the Apple Hardware Test and no error were reported. Both the logic board and memory passed. I ran the extended test twice, each time no error.
Ah, did that solve my problem? I rebooted and I still cannot get my A drive to be the Startup Disk.
Next, I ran the Rember software (a GUI app for Memtest) and the RAM checked out as fine.
At this stage I don't have a clue. The white towel is about to be waved.
If the problem is the Adaptec SCSI card, I don't know how to test it since it obviously has to be installed to enable drive A to mount.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am the original poster on this thread.
Turns out that the culprit behind all my boot problems was the battery on my 5 year old Quicksilver G4. Replaced the battery and all is back to normal.
FWIW, for any Quicksilver owners with SCSI cards, be aware that you can create boot problems for your SCSI drive by zapping your PRAM. As part of my diagnostics I did zap the PRAM but that turned out not to be a problem.
Adaptec's site does include a workaround should you have problems after zapping the PRAM. This specifically covers the PowerDomain 29160 SCSI card/2930U card, which I have.

Kernel panic after 10.5.3 install - can't get to desktop

When 10.5.3 came out I ran Software Update, and it installed itself and then asked me to restart my system. So I did. But before my MBP finished restarting, a gray curtain came down and told me that I had to... restart... my... system. (It looked like a kernel panic screen.)
I restarted and the same thing happened. After a couple of iterations of this I realized that something was broken and it wasn't going to fix itself, so I booted up in Safe Mode. That worked OK. It's what I'm using right now. Things seem to work normally except that certain functions, like playing audio, are disabled.
How do I troubleshoot this? Thanks.

OK, here's the panic log for the first kernel panic after the 10.5.3 download. Does this help?

Kernel Panics! Even on clean install!!

Can anyone help me here? I've always been plagued by kernel panics since I've had this machine, and assumed it was caused by bad software/drivers. But now I've done a clean erase and install of both 10.3.9 and 10.4, I'm STILL getting kernel panics.. no other hardware is being used and no softwarte installed at all.. computer passess hardware checks and disk had permissions repaired.. here are the logs, for anyone who can read them Thanks for any help you might give!

Kernel Panic since 10.4.9 instal

OK. Since I installed 10.4.9 last night I get kernel panic everytime my iMac wakes from sleep. I have the latest firmware version and it doesn't seem to matter what apps I was running. Its a 20" Core 2 Duo Intel. Machine was flawless up until now. Any thoughts?
This is not good.
Help.

I followed your advice, performing the four steps as lined out in the x lap article, and the permissions were repaired. But I still get kernel panic, when the mac wakes from sleep.

I keep getting Kernel Panic when I try to install Panther

Hello!
I bought a used iMac from eBay. It's a 500mhz Indigo model with CDRW. It has Jaguar and OS9 installed on it and I want to install Panther. When I try to do the install the computer reboots and I get the Kernel Panic. I just want to wipe out whatever is there and start fresh with Panther but the Kernel keeps getting Panicky. Can anyone help?
BTW I'm not installing Tiger because I don't have it yet.
Thanks!

As I asked in your Other Topic, does the Full Retail Version of Panther, have CDs that look like THESE?

Kernel Panic when I try to install OSX 10.3. Can anyone help?

I bought this iMac recently. It has OS 10.2.? installed and OS 9.1. When I try to install OS 10.3 I get a Kernel Panic when it reboots to start the installation. I ran the Norton Disk Doctor it had over in OS9 -- said it fixed some things and now ok but I still get a Kernel Panic trying to install Panther. I just want to re-format the whole computer with 10.3 and get rid of 9. How can I do that?
Thanks.

KeepItSimple:
If you're getting a kernel panic when trying to install, then I'd start with RAM and the installation disks.
RAM: Panther has higher standards for RAM than does 10.2.x; if you have more than one RAM module, take one out (assuming that leaves you with at least 128 MB) and try again. If it panics again, try switching the RAM. As far a brand names go, I prefere Kingston or Azen RAM.
Installation Disks: if they're grey, they won't work. Grey installation disks are packaged with specific Macs, and only contain hardware drivers for that specific Mac. You need the retail version of the disks, which were sold in a black box. There are four CDs in the set, three of which are for installing the OS (the fourth contains Developer Tools). The three OS disks are black with a large silver X in the middle.
Good luck!

2007 MacBook Pro 2.2GHz A1226 Kernel Panic after 10.8.3 install

Started getting KP's after installing 10.8 for a client. Here's my steps thus far with the KP log at the bottom of my post.
2007 non-uni MBPro 2.2 GHz A1226
CCC clone of old user hdd to .sparsebundle image (about 120GB) was running OS X 10.6.5
Repartition, erase brand new 500GB 2.5" SATA HDD
CCC > Window > Disk Center > installed Recovery HD 10.8 on the 500GB drive
CCC cloned my 10.8.2 + Apps image (used on dozens of client Macs without issue) to the 500GB drive
booted into MBPro HD and ran Migration Assistant to import old user account from the CCC backup I made earlier
ran all Apple updates and ran Repair Permissions, rebooted
on reboot... gray screen with text that said: "Your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds to continue starting up."
not sure what was wrong, I booted into Recover 10.8 > ran DU repair disk and repair permissions
still getting kernel panic on reboot... but after a few tries it would boot into the user account. Once in user account everything runs fine. Only getting KP when I start up the MacBook Pro. weird.
Thinking it was bad OSX install from my CCC image... I went ahead and reinstalled from Recovery HD fresh 10.8.2, then ran updates, etc.
still getting kernel panic. Was fine on 10.6.5. Only noticed it when upgraded to 10.8.x
did SMC and PRAM resets, still issues
booted into Safe Mode... no errors that I can see, but then again it won't KP when I'm running anything.
Have not yet re-seated or replaced ram (3rd party 2 x 2GB 667mhz) but plan to do that tonight.
Anything else you guys can think of? It appears to be a GPU issue... "IOGraphicsFamily" and "NVDAResman"
Thanks. - Brian

The video memory of mine is 64 MB. no idea how and why.
Maybe it's because I got my macbook pro repaired two years ago due to a video chip failure.
The DDR2 memory installed is a single 4GB
One of the memory slot is not working
Any suggestions?????

Persisting kernel panics with mountain lion (clean install)

hi, I could really have some help on recent kernel panics I am experiecing on my 2009 MacBook Pro with Mountain lion installed. Here and there I have been doing some reading but I am not a techy, most of it I do not understand.
Last kernel panic occured while I was copying a large file (998mb) from network storage. Before a fresh install kernel panics happend literally any time and I could not pin point any reasons.. At the moment I have no third-party software installed except Spotify...
I also have recently replaced my HDD with an SSD. Currently 8gb of 1066mhz memory is installed
This is log of the latest kernel panic:

If there is someone out there that could help, I appreciate it very much...!!! This is getting very annoying
thank you!!

I noticed that the:

Now, before I go any further, I'd like to point out that diagnosing, and actually eliminating, kernel panics is very tricky. There are several causes that are very well documented on the internet. However, you can run all those tests, perform all that voodoo, even reinstall the OS... and continue to have kernel panics. That said, here are some notes:
What brought me here in the first place is that, since upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion, I've been having the same frequency of kernel panics as you.
My frequency of kernel panics using Snow Leopard and Lion averaged once a week.
On Snow Leopard I could actually reproduce the kernel panic by USB tethering my iPhone. This was a widespread and well-documented issue for people with early 2011 MacBook Pro's, and Apple supposedly fixed it in an update. Supposedly...
Updating to 10.8.1 didn't fix the problem for me.
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I've stopped using Spotify, as that seemed to be the worst culprit (on my machine). Keep in mind, there are thousands, maybe millions, of users who aren't having kernel panics while using Spotity on Mountain Lion, so that's really only one data point. Also, Spotify recently updated it's own software that may have fixed a kernel extension problem but I haven't used it enough yet to report anything.
I took my computer to the Apple Store in 2011, and I recently spent an hour on the phone with Apple Care. No dice.
My kernel panic logs don't seem to have a common denominator as to the cause (Spotify, USB...)
Just when I think I see a common denominator like when I'm using a certain USB port, or a secondary display, there will be a kernel panic when neither of those things are happening
You''ve got a lot going on with your machine: upgraded memory, SSD...
Taking all that into consideration, be cautious not to jump to conclusions. No doubt, it's a combination of factors. For example, it could be certain MacBook Pro's that have certain video cards, USB, Spotify, Flash... I mean, really, it just starts heading down a dangerous path of speculation and conjecture, so I'm leaving it up the Apple engineers at this point. And, of course, always back up.
Anyway, you and I and whole lot of other folks out there are having the exact same problem since updating to 10.8.0. Add to that the issues that many of us are having with Safari, Mission Control... and it spells out one thing: the price one pays for being an early adopter. By all means, follow the steps outlined here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11045
and perhaps here:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
and use @baltwo's excellent recommendation:
http://kelleycomputing.net/rember/
Hopefully, that will fix the problem that you're experiencing but I'm betting against it. Most likely, 10.8.x will fix or at least improve this issue.
In the meantime, here's the good news: because of the autosave state features introduced in Lion, a kernel panic has gone from being a potentinally devestatingly destructive event to a minor (albeit inccessant) nuisance. It never hurts to compusively hit Command-S but even so, I'm happy to report that I can't think of a single kernel panic that has resulted in substantial data loss (read: work). In fact, there are worse things than restarting your computer, and reallocating memory that's been leaking from Safari...
Anyway, unless you're one of the those affected that can't even boot, I'd recommmend stopping short of reinstalling the OS. Wait for a stable release, and then when you have a slow week, perform a clean install. Then begin the process of installing fresh versions of your apps one-by-one. Also, by then, third party developers will have had time to update their kernel extensions, etc.
In other words, follow the hypocratic oath: thou shall not harm. We were all good before Mountain Lion, so let's not fix what isn't broken by tinkering with our systems too much.
Best of luck to you!
Mark
