Kernel panic at startup from HD and disc

Hi
My (early 2008) Mac Pro recently froze and wouldn't boot from the HD. I managed to start it once from a Snow Leopard install disc and carry out a disk repair on the HD. Now it won't boot from the HD or the install disc. When I try to boot it from HD it freezes, and when I try to boot it from CD I get a kernel panic. Dont have the original install disc so can't run Apple Hardware Test. But did manage to boot in target disc mode fine and get the kernel panic logs:
Boot from HD kernel panic log:

Guessing I have a hardware issue, but seems to be 2 different problems when I boot from HD or install disc. Can anyone tell me what these logs mean/
Thnx
Simon

I am having the same problems as Simon_S, except, so far, nothing is fixing things.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my first HD, and Snow Leopard on the second. The third drive is empty ATM, and the 4th is my old HD from my G5.
I can access Ubuntu the way I always have (option key, choose drive, select Ubuntu on GRUB.) I can only start up SL by going to the GRUB like I would for Ubuntu, but choosing Mac OSX instead.
The comp freezes if I try to just start up by pressing the power button, or if I press option and choose the Mac drive. Same for if I go to Startup Disk in System Preferences, choose the Mac HD and restart.
I have done a PRAM reset (after which the opening "ding" is louder, for some reason) as well as an SMC reset.
I've uninstalled Parallels through the terminal, to try to make sure it's all gone.
Trying to start up the install disk causes a kernal panic.
Trying to run a hardware test causes a freeze. If I'm still holding the "D" key when it freezes, I hear a tapping noise.
The computer freezes when trying to start up in safe mode. I THINK I'm giving it enough time. The spinning gear/sun thing is replaced by a bar, which fills to about 1/4 to 1/3 full, then stops. I wait a few minutes, but when nothing progresses, I shut it down.
Disk Utility claims that all of the drives are ok, but Ubuntu's scan gives me a "value" on the error read rate that is definitely NOT zero, so I'm thinking there is a problem with the HD the Mac OS is on. The "value" on the Ubuntu HD is zero.
Prior to my start up problems, I was wrestling with graphics/video card issues on Ubuntu. Those haven't been resolved yet. I've stopped messing with those while I try to figure out what is going on now. I'll leave out the details for now, but if you think they might be relevant, let me know.
While in SL the way I currently start it up, I can't put the computer to sleep. In Ubuntu, I can't start back up from suspend.
On SL, the system is not detecting any sound devices, in or out.
I'm limited on what I can do as far as fixing things. Funds are short, and I don't have the Extended Care. This comp is a hand-me-down after my dad got one of those new macs that are all in the monitor.
I'm hoping for any input or advice I can get. Is the Mac HD FUBAR? Could I format it from the Ubuntu HD and install SL through the Ubuntu terminal? Whatever I end up doing, I have to come out of this with a working machine. Dad's not going to be moving up to a new machine for at least 3 years (his usual time frame :P) and if this thing croaks, I'm stuck sharing my husband's Windows machine again. Please save me from Windows!

Recurring Kernel Panic at startup- Ram ok- works only from DVD

Hi everyone,
Please help me figure this one out.
After installing the latest ilok driver ( it might be a coincidence ) my Macpro 2.1 will go straight to Kernel Panic at start up.
- It will start from the DVD drive, with the snow leopard installer or Drive genius. The internal drives appear on Disk utility and don;t need repair,
- It will not start from the Backup HD as external
- it will not start from the backup HD as internal
- it will not start in safe mode
I have unplugged everything, swapped or taken of the RAM, no PCI card inside and it is impossible to start from a drive.
Any idea ???
Thank you in advance
S

- took an empty drive and installed Snow leopard so I could access the naughty drives.
- The mac works when booting on the new drive, so I guess my hardware is fine.
- took the pace ilok stuff out of the old boot drive just to realize that it is not showing up as a bootable drive in startup disk, both when external or internal.
- took the Pace ilok stuff out of the Backup of the old boot drive. Got Kernel panic when booting from it.... My system backup is about 3 weeks old. I use superduper.
Looks like it is time for me to make a fresh bootable drive. I just hope this is not going to happen again once I have spent hours to load it with all the stuff I need, so I can work.
I very much appreciate your help mister x.

Kernel Panic on Startup before and after Restore

Hi,
I'm on a MacBook Pro Aluminum, 3GB Ram, 320 GB HD partitioned to 160 for each OS, Leopard and Vista.
Ironically - Vista is my stable on here, so for the time being, 'Hi I'm a PC.'
A few days ago, I got a startup error where after the startup noise, the computer would just turn off. I could not, for the life of me, get it to start up on my Mac side.
So I figure, restore from Time Machine. Strangely enough, the latest full backup was over a month ago, though I had just backed up a few days ago.
So I restore from backup. Then I get a similar but different error. After the restore, it gives me the multi-language kernel error, 'You need to restart your computer...etc.' This occurs right after the Apple logo appears on the screen.
This makes me think - hardware error. Reset PRAM - no dice.
So I try a fresh install just to check. Works great installing from CD. What's more, my Vista partition is running fine. Unfortunately - I have stored all my data on the mac side and now the only place that data lives is in the time machine backups.
I tried again to restores from an earlier backup. Same kernel panic.
So I've kind of eliminated hardware conflicts, I think, but the software should be an image of my computer at that time, right?
Even if I have to do a full reinstall, I desperately need to get some of my recent files off my Time Machine backup. Can anyone explain how to do this? I can't seem to find the files on my Time Machine HD. On it are a recently written chapter of my thesis and all my wedding invitation addresses that we compiled for months and need to get out this week. ACK!
Thanks for any help. Just getting the files would help, but restoring would be a big plus. It's such a weird error. What's the point of backing up if th ebackup has the same error.
Thanks.

+*So I've kind of eliminated hardware conflicts, I think*+
Run the Apple Hardware Test program that came with your machine, the extended tests, at least twice. If everything passes, then run Rember as a second check on your RAM. As for the TM anomalies, I can't help, since I don't use it, preferring updated, bootable clones.

Kernel panic at startup and impossible to reinstall SL

Hi
I've recently bought the new iMac with SSD.
I've upgraded the Ram, adding 8go Crucial to the 4go existing.
The first time, I started very well, very quickly.
After that, I installed W7 on my bootcamp partition. It went very fine also.
After having installed W7, I booted on the Mac OS X partition. This was the first time I've got a kernel panic at startup.
Fine, I thought it was a mismanipulation when I installed W7. So, I wanted to reinstall SL.
I tried, 2 or 3 times, but I've always had this message while installing "The installer could not copy the necessary support files".
I managed to boot Mac OS in Safe Mode. I tried to installed SL directly from the Safe Mode, and I got another error : "Impossible to read the installation disk".
So I tried to make a UBS Stick bootable image of the SL installation disk : I cannot mount it "checksum error".
I hardly think now that the problem is coming from the RAM, but instead from the SL disk.
The installation disk is new, it was the first time I was using it.
Now, I am able again to boot from the mac os partition without having chaned anythink, but having booted once in safe mo
Guys, could you help my with that ? How can I get a new disk ? How can I be sure that the RAM is OK (W7 is working fine and SL also right now).
Thanks in advance

Sorry misunderstanding, my bad. By new I meant never used before.
It is the brand new iMac 27" SSD. So it supports up to 16GB of RAM.
I am also sure of the model of RAM I ordered.
I wanted to remove the new intalled RAM, however, I can't : it's way to hard. When I pull the tab, I just slip.
I can boot to the Install DVD (So, SL 10.6.8). I can go up to the beginning of the installation. It evens begins to copy files, and I always get the error at the same moment.
The same thing happens when I try to install SL from the Safe Mode of my existing OS. It begins to copy file until I get "unable to read the disk, bla bla".
I hope it was only a minor disk corruption, but I would like to be sure. How can I test the RAM and the Installation Disk ?
I tried to make an image of the installation disk, but when I try to mount the compressed image, I get a checksum error...
thanks again for your help

DVD drive broken, Mac G5 having kernel panics at startup

After nearly 5 years of steady, trouble free use, my G5 iMac started acting up a few days ago. I get what I think are kernel panics at startup. I am usually able to get it running after a few restarts but I am worried. My DVD drive became unreliable a month after my 1 year warranty expired. For some reason it won't start up with the install disks that came with the cpu but will bootup from my DiskWarrior DVD. I tried rebuilding the directory with DiskWarrior but I got the blue screen when it was almost finished. I've decided to do and Archive and install because I'm sure my problem stems from programs I installed recently. Is it possible to do the Archive and Install from my Intell Powerbook which is running the same version software. I've tried it several times, inserting the iMac install disk on my PB with my iMac connected in Target Disk mode, but I keep getting the message that the software can't be installed on this computer (the PB). Is there another way I can perform an A&I, I don't have enough space on my iDisk to use SuperDuper to create a disk image. I'm almost at the panic stage here since I use my computer for work and I'm afraid it won't start up at all at some point.
I've performed all the usual steps, repair permissions and used Disk Utility on my Firewire connect PB to repair the disk. One odd thing is FontExplorerX all of a sudden quit on me two days ago (which has never happened in the 4 years I've used it) and told me to download it again, which I did.
Message was edited by: e. jones

Hi e. jones, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Other way around, with the iMac's Install Disc in the PB, boot the PB into T mode, boot the iMac with the Option key held down, wait for the Install Disk in the PB to show up as a boot option on the iMac.
But I think you have more serious problems. And, first you need to move some things off the iMac to make room for an A&I, you really need an external FW Drive right away.

Kernel panic on startup

Kernel panic occurred on startup last week. Since then have tried the following-
Removed all periferals apart from Apple keyboard and mouse.
Tried each of the 512Mb ram chips on their own.
Booted from and ran successfully-
DiskWarrior - clear
System Disc, Disc Utilities - clear
Tech Tool Pro - clear
Apple Hardware test - clear
Ran Memtest on ram, came out OK
Wrote zeros to hard disc then installed a new OSX 10.4.6. Still get kernel panic on startup.
Checked LED's on logic board while starting up from internal start button. 3 light up before kernel panic. Not sure if this test indicates good logic board, power supply or not?
Can boot OK in safe boot mode. Again should that indicate logic board and hard disc OK?
Help?

If all three of the LEDs light up, that means that power is getting to the places it should, but even if the logic board is getting power, that doesn't mean that it is functioning properly. You have performed all the tests you can (thanks for listing them) and nothing shows up. Call Apple and make an appointment to take it in and have a genius look at it, or, if you have Apple Care, call them and see what they suggest.

Can't get past kernel panics on startup

Like the title says, I'm unable to get past kernel panics on startup. I know next to nothing about the technical side of computers, so I'll just explain the whole process of what I've gone through. Earlier today I got a kernel panic after waking my computer from sleep. I restarted and everything was fine. I probably should have looked in to the cause of the panic, but I just went on using the computer as normal. Later, I returned to the computer, woke it from sleep, and got another kernel panic. I restarted, and my computer got to the Apple logo and gray spinning wheel when it froze. No kernel panic, just a frozen wheel. So I shut it down, restarted it again, and this time I got to just a gray screen (I don't remember if the Apple logo had shown up or not, but there was no spinning wheel). It hung on that screen for a while, then the fans started running like they were trying to take off a jet engine, so I shut it down. I tried restarting it once more, and it got to the spinning wheel screen when another kernel panic happened. I restarted the computer, and tried this a few more times, getting kernel panics each time. So I let it rest. A few minutes later I tried it again. This time it got even further, and I was pretty hopeful that I'd at least get the computer running again. It got past the gray spinning wheel, to the blue screen that usually shows up before the "cosmic wallpaper" and login screen. At that point it hung on that blue screen, and the jet engine sound started up. Now I take out my 10.5 instal disc. I back up with Time Machine, so I'm just going to hope reinstalling and restoring from Time Machine works out. I stick in my 10.5 disc, hold down the 'c' key and start up the iMac. Eventually it gets to the spinning wheel screen and a kernel panic. That's where I am now. Any help? I have a big paper due on Tuesday, so there's a ticking clock.
Thanks a lot
Mike

Hi - I have a similar problem here, running snow leopard 10.6. I am also not technical.
I went out & left my mac on, and when I got home it had switched itself off and on restart I got to the grey screen + Apple icon. Unfortunately I have never backed up my data!! Tried starting in safe mode (holding Shift key) and get the following message every time I try this:

Have also tried starting holding the <option> key and get a Hardisc icon displayed with an arrow beneath, and when clicked a progress bar appears for maybe 30 seconds, then disappears & it just carries on in grey screen mode with spinning wheet & Apple icon.
I want to know if I just have to concede that I have lost my data and need to reinstall the OS, or it could be worth taking to a Mac repair agent to try to retrieve it

I'm getting a kernel panic on startup after restore hd

Long story made short...installed Google Music to use with my new phone...next day Mac running slow, left it running while I was out, came home to frozen screen...booted in safe mode and clicked off everything that was running in background. Tried to reboot and it kept shutting down when reaching grey screen. (I orginally had leopard and upgraded to snow leopard) got my OSX (leopard) install cd and booted to disc, disk utilities and check disc...originally would only let me verify, which failed, then unmounted and was able to get repair disc...unable to repair. I erased hd and then restored from my time machine backup, now when I boot I get kernel panic on startup. I'm running of external hd which I formatted and installed leopard essential software. So my question is, is my HD shot? Are there other step I can take? I can't afford to bring this in to someone. This is most of what my screen says when I boot:
Panic(cpu 1 caller 0x47f5ad): "Process 1 exec of /sbin/launchd failed, errno 8\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1504 . 15 . 3/bsd/kern/kern_exec.c.3145

and the a list of numbers....
any and all help would be appreciated to help me resolve this

Early 2006 iMac Kernel Panics on startup

We have recently purchased a second hand 20" iMac, and after a few days it has started to kernel panic on startup, before the Apple logo disappears. A whirring when it begins to turn on has also appeared.
I shall photograph the kernel panic message if it helps. The local Apple Store have suggested that since there is a greater time period before the Apple Logo appears, the fault might be something to do with the motherboard/hard drive. Are there any suggestions here which may help us?
Thank you.

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this:
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:

10.6.8 kernel panic at startup (fixed)

**excuse my english since I'm french**
Like a lot of people, I've installed 10.6.8 through software update. And I've experimented kernel panic at startup. So, I unplugged everything (my two USB hubs with multiple peripherals) except the original Apple keyboard and Apple wired mouse. And restarted in safe mode. Downloaded Apple 10.6.8 combo update, install it and restart. Everything went fine. Great.
But as soon as I plugged back my USB hub, kaboom! here's come the Kernel Panic again.
So, one by one, I plug and unplug my peripherals. To discover that my old optical wired two button mouse (love that mouse ;-))) was THE problem. Even when it's plugged directly in one of the USB port on my Mac Pro. I've try with three different optical USB wired mouse, one Logitech, one Dell and one Verbatim (my old mouse): kaboom! Kernel Panic. With my Microsoft optical wireless mouse? No kernel panic. 10.6.8 crashes only with third partys wired mouses, except the Mac wired mouse.
Voilà.
So, I'm stuck with the old wired Apple Mouse (that I hate). But no more kernel panic.
Hope my story can help someone.
And Apple, I missed my optical two buttons wired mouse. ;-))

I have the same problem, but only on one of the two iMacs that I updated to 10.6.8.
The first installation went smoothly, and I haven't had any trouble with the mouse or anything else on that iMac. A Samsung color laser printed continues to work just fine.
The second installation seemed to have a hiccup -- after I had authorized the update there was a second update screen. That sequence finished with a kernel panic, which continued through several attempts until I unplugged the Logitech laser mouse.
That Logitech mouse works perfectly on the first updated iMac, and the other Logitech mouse from that computer causes a kernel panic on the troublesome iMac.
I'm now using an Apple bluetooth mouse, which I'm getting used to - but I would still prefer the option of my good old Logitech mouse.
Another problem is that I can't print to a networked Konica-Minolta bizhub C451. Tried the combo 10.6.8 updater and reinstalled the Konica driver -- but still no dice.

Kernel panic when waking from sleep

My eMac (1Ghz, 256 Mb RAM, dual boot OS 9.2.2/OS X 10.2.8(upgraded from 10.2.4)) has a recurring but intermittent issue where it suffers from a kernel panic when waking from sleep.
In the past I managed to fix the issue by resetting PRAM and NVRAM, but this doesn't seem to work anymore.
Things I've found out until now:
- Apple Hardware Test and Techtool Deluxe can't find anything wrong (all tests are passed).
- No kernel panic log is written - apparently the kernel panic occurs before the log can be written.
- Crash appears to be network-related. My IP address and network card address are shown at the bottom of the panic window.
- After restarting, Finder windows revert to a state from two or three days ago...
- Login items aren't the problem. I removed them all - this doesn't make any difference.
- no weird things in the startup items folders, AFAIK.
I'm on the verge of reinstalling OS X, but I think I already did this a couple of years ago, and it didn't help.
Please help.
Thomas

Nominally, you'd download the OS X Update Combo 10.2.8 after reinstalling 10.2.4, then use Software Update to identify any additional security and other software updates. There was an issue with early builds of 10.2 failing the 10.2.8 udate if done directly, but working fine if one first updated to an intermediate version such as 10.2.6; I think that problem affected 10.2 through 10.2.3 and your 10.2.4 should be good to go directly to 10.2.8, but if there are any problems, you can go back to 10.2.4, then search the Apple Downloads link for 10.2.6, then 10.2.8
With 10.2.x, it's prudent to run Repair Permissions after each OS and security update before moving on to the next.

Understanding crash logs isn’t easy and it’s hard (sometimes impossible) to decipher the cause of the problem. Take a look at Apple’s Crash Reporter document at http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2004/tn2123.html
Also look at Tutorial: An introduction to reading Mac OS X crash reports
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060309075929717
Kernel panics are usually caused by a hardware problem – frequently RAM, a USB device or a Firewire device. Since you've disconnected external devices, USB & Firewire don't appear to be a problem. Are you using an external mouse?
Have you added RAM recently? To eliminate RAM being the problem, Look at this link: *Testing RAM* @ http://guides.macrumors.com/Testing_RAM Then download & use Memtest & Ramber.
Do you have an Apple Hardware Test disc? Running the Apple Hardware Test in Loop Mode is an excellent troubleshooting step for finding intermittent hardware problems. It is especially useful when troubleshooting intermittent kernel panics. If Loop Mode is supported by the version of the Apple Hardware Test you are using, you run the Extended Test in Loop Mode by pressing Control-L before starting the test. Looping On should appear in the right window. Then click the Extended Test button.The test will run continuously until a problem is found. If a problem is found, the test will cease to loop, indicating the problem it found. If the test fails, be sure to write down the exact message associated with the failure.In some cases, RAM problems did not show up until nearly 40 loops, so give it a good run.
Look at 12-Step Program to Isolate Freezes and/or Kernel Panics

Constant Kernel Panics on startup on 10.4.7

I had no problems after upgrading to 10.4.7 on my Titanium iBook so I upgraded on my G4 iMac desktop as well.
I had one successful restart under 10.4.7, but on all subsequent attempts, I've gotten kernel panics on startup. with a screen and a half of backtrade and exception state lines, filled with hexadecimal codes.?
Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions as for how best to deal with it?
P.S. I did make a bootable backup of my disk before upgrading, and my first thought is that I should just restore back to 10.4.6 from the backup. The problem, however, is that the backup is on a firewire drive, and I can't figure out how to make the machine boot from the backup. Is there a simple 'button' trick I can use to make it boot from the firewire drive instead of from the internal HD? (Alternately, is there a way I can get my machine to recognize the Firewire drive from system 9.2.2. I have been able to contrive a way to reboot from the internal drive's 9.2.2. folder... but I can't see the firewire drives from it).

OK: Here's a follow-up:
I tried using the Startup Manager and, to my surprise, that didn't seem to help. It still wasn't recognizing my firewire drive backups as volumes.
I then went to Dr. Smoke's diagnostic list and looked through it. The first step that seemed both relevant and possible to my situation was the suggestion (through a link to a help page) that I reset my PRAM and DVRAM.
So, I went ahead and tried rebooting (in OS X) while holding down option-command-p-r, and the machine booted fine. No kernel panic at all.
I decided to try immediately rebooting into OS-X as per 'normal' (i.e. without holding down option-command-p-r). The kernel panic recurred. Several attempts at rebooting revealed the following: (1) Wiith each attempt to reboot off 10.4.7 on the hard drive while holding down option-command-p-r, I had no problems. (2) With each attempt to reboot from 10.4.7 on the hard drive without holding down option-command-p-r, I got a kernel panic. Hmm.... (That seems significant, but what exactly it means, I don't know.)
I did find out that, if I held down option-command-p-r while rebooting, I was able to boot successfully into 10.4.7 from the hard drive, and that from there, I was able to reboot into with no problem into 10.4.6 from my backup firewire drive (even if I didn't hold down option-command-p-r).
At this point, I'm planning just to restore 10.4.6 to my internal hard drive from my backup, and hope that works. (I'll post and let you know if it does.) However, if the information presented above suggests anything to anyone (e.g. about more specific problems that I should investigate, perhaps with the RAM, I'd be most appreciative to hear your thoughts.).

Kernel panics on startup on a MB late 2008

Hi everyone.
After reading dozens of threads about kernel panics I couldn't find any appropriate post.
So you see, I've got a unibody MacBook late 2008 and as the thread name states I'm experiencing kernel panics on startup. The weird thing is, these panics occur totally random and I can't induce them. Usually I have an apple keyboard, apple mouse and a WD 1TB drive (TimeMachine backup) connected via USB plus an external monitor and magsafe power. Even after disconnecting all that stuff I receive kernel panics.
I haven't had any kernel panic during normal operation so far. As soon as I get the system up and running nothing happens. They just keep coming every second or third startup.
There are 9 crash reports in my L/Logs/Diag.Reports. You can see the last kernel panic report here:
