Kernel panic - corrupt stack

My iBook g4 has a kernel panic (below text).
It did a '3 beeb, flash light 5 times' crash last week but then re-booted fine. About 4 months ago, this happened repeatedly and the 'power down now' error message appeared on a black screen. Finally it refused to boot up at all and we took it apart and found a loose connection inside (I don't know what it was), reattached it and it has worked fine since.
Am worried as I have stupidly not backed up recently and have a website on there that is due to posted. Please help!

First, sorry for the delay, I only work a few days a week
Second, there is no panic.log on any of the machines. I looked in the console and system profiler programs in all the directories and searched in terminal using 'find / -name panic.log 2> /dev/null'. That is one reason I had to take a picture of it. I will try hard to get a panic.log.
Keep in mind that these are very hard lockups so I am wondering if the kernel even CAN sync the log to disk in this situation. However, I come from the Linux world and am fairly new to Macs so perhaps I am expecting it to be a hardware problem when software really can make a Mac Kernel lockup.
Furthermore they are networked together, we use LDAP/NFS home directories but each machine was prepared with it's own local copy of CS2. There is no sharing of the application.
Also, i tried a boot with apple-v but all went well and there were no out of place message.
Since my first posting I have also tried an fsck which revealed nothing but a clean FS.
Also, we do use radmind to help clone machines. The OS was installed manually with our application loaded using radmind templates.
We do use our Macs very heavily and use many applications at once using all RAM and heavy swap. Do the Mac Minis not like to be exercised hard? I think I may try to use a 1GB stick in a machine and see if that helps.
Also, could CS2 really cause a complete lockup of the machine with a corrupt stack? To me an application-level program should never cause the machine to freeze or should never be able to corrupt memory it doesnt own unless the OS lets it meddle with hardware.

  • Kernel Panics: Corrupt Skip Lists

    I recently upgraded my eMac's hard drive to a 160 GB hard drive. Before my eMac was very stable. I experienced maybe one or two kernel panics before upgrading. Now, they are a frequent experience. The curious thing is that all report the same error- "Corrupt Skip Lists". Yet, I cannot find any reference to this error anywhere. Also, I was running Panther before upgrading and switched to Tiger after installing the new drive. I suppose this could also be a factor. The odd thing is that these occur even when it's not running (has booted) off the new internal drive sometimes.
    Here are some screen shots I've taken:
    http://gamoe.net/imagebank/Other/eMacError/KernelPanic1.jpg
    http://gamoe.net/imagebank/Other/eMacError/KernelPanic2.jpg
    Any clues on this?

    Interesting. A topic probably only for the more technically minded. Thank you for your response. I hadn't gotten any leads until now, even though I've posted about this elsewhere. Of course I added more RAM, it's the only decent thing to do, given Apple's traditional skimping on built-in/included RAM.
    So I did as you suggested. I dug up the Apple Hardware Test CD, but it came up with nothing. I then downloaded and ran Memtest in the suggested single user mode under root. I had no idea it would take as long as it did, though I should have known, as it is an thorough test. I used the default suggested 3 passes. Results are as follows.
    Test 1 gave me:
    Bit Flip: FAILURE: 0xfffff3ff != 0xfffff7ff at offset 0x02c53b8b.
    Test 3 gave me:
    Stuck Address: FAILURE: possible bad address line at offset 0x00e52b8b.
    Resulting in these conclusions:
    * Address Test Failed * One or more DIMM address lines are non-functional.
    * Memory Test Failed * Please check logfile for details.
    Actually, I really have had no way of knowing if it was the hard drive or not. When I upgraded I also switched to Tiger, so it could be either. I must say that I am more a little surprised at the results, given that I installed this memory almost immediately after I bought the eMac, and it is Crucial RAM, which is known for quality, and it is the same RAM Apple uses for Macs. I've had absolutely no problems like this in the two years plus I've been using my eMac, under different versions of Mac OS X.
    Given these results, can one reasonably conclude that the memory is responsible for the kernel panics? And, provided that the eMac has panicked even when it has not been booted up from the new internal drive, would you completely rule out the internal hard drive as the cause?-- Or can there be more to this?

  • SA_MAGIC header corrupt on ZFS causing kernel panic in S11.1 SRU5.5

    I have a number of Sun Fire x4500s and x4540s running S11.1 SRU5.5. One of the x4540s has recently started kernel panicking within minutes of powering on and sharing its file systems over NFS (it provides user directories for a computing cluster). If I don't share via NFS, the kernel panics do not occur.
    When I run mdb on the kernel panic coredump I get:

    thread_start+8()In doing some google searching, I'm able to infer from similar lines of code in OpenSolaris (and various ZFS derivatives) that the point of this line of code is to ensure that a ZFS block has a particular header with the correct endianness. Lines of code just prior to this swap the endianness if its is incorrect (at least in these derivatives). For example:
    [ZFS corruption probably from bad RAM|https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues/157]
    [FreeBSD kernel panic|http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2012-July/068882.html]
    [ZFSOnLinux Panic|https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/1303]
    So basically, this assert ought to work unless the header was written to disk incorrectly. I've recently done a resilver since a disk had failed and I'm currently in the middle of a scrub with estimated 90h to go. It did fix about 12kb of mistakes on the scrub even though it was right after the resilver.
    Nevertheless, I don't think this should be able to happen unless the redundant copies of this header were also corrupted.
    I wrote a little script that loops over process IDs and addresses in the core dump and prints this for each
    echo $addr | awk '{print $1,"::pfiles"}' | mdb $DMPNO
    The files that are open are all device files (eg./devices/pseudo/...) or things in /var, /etc, /lib, things like that. The user directories/files do not appear to be actively open in the core dump. That said, I cannot match the thread above to a process ID. So maybe there are open files that are not captured in the core dump
    Since the machine will panic when I make NFS available, I am currently doing two things to try to resolve the problem:
    (1) a zpool scrub
    (2) "zfs send"ing a snapshot of every filesystem straight to /dev/null
    The idea behind (2) is that eventually I'll read the bad block and force the kernel panic to happen. I'll infer from the log of the script which filesystem is bad and NFS share all the others.
    You should assume that I can spell mdb, but not much more than that and everything I've done thus far has been mimicking things I have found in google searching.
    Thanks for any advice the community has to help me fix the bad file/filesystem. I am happy to provide more details from mdb or whatever is needed.

    The output of fmdump is below. On March 27th, 3 disks were automatically identified as having too many errors and were pulled from their zpools. I replaced them on April 2nd (I believe) and, while they were resilvering, kernel panics started happening on April 6th. After several panic / reboot cycles, I disabled NFS and have not experienced any panics sense. The resilver finished sometime on April 7th (I think) and I started a zpool scrub relatively soon thereafter.

  • I get a memory stacking kernel panic when I startup Mac osx

    Can only boot into safe mode... When booted normally a black and white screen comes up with the aPple logo and a bunch of kernel code errors. I saw a pic online of someone else getting the same error message and the problem was referred to as a memory stacking issue where the ram may be bad in the iMac... Does anyone know how to fix this error so I can do a normal restart and not have to boot into safe mode? I have tried to run the apple hardware test, but I no longer have the system CDs...

  • Kernel Panics, Drive Corruption, Directory Issues.

    Desktop M8840LL/A Dual 1.25GHz PowerPC G4 (FW800) MDD
    2GB Ram, 2 WD - 500GB IDE Drives Internal, 4 SATA Dr (2 WD - 500 GB SATA internal 1 WD 500GB SATA, One WD 640GB SATA external ), Sonnet Tempo SATA X4i PCI Card, ATI 9600Pro AGP, 1- 23in Apple Cinema Display, One 24in Samsung Display. 3 Firewire 250Gb WD external Drives.
    This setup was running great for 2 years until a four year old WD drive failed 3 weeks ago and corrupted its data etc. I had the data backed up so no panic.
    I decided to replaced it 3 weeks ago with a new 500GB WD IDE and reinstall 10.5 and migrate users for that drive.
    Ever since I have been getting daily if not hourly kernel panics and issues with ALL drives on my system.
    At one point the system loscked 4 drives and I could not access them at all.
    Discussion group helped fix that issue.
    I have managed to saved all my important data to a 500GB drive without a system on it and hopefully can deal with the issues at hand without worrying about the data.
    Booted from my System 1.5 install disk and had a dark grey/ Must restart your mac screen while I was booting from the DVD!
    Did an Apple Service diagnostics on the machine and all was great - no issues.
    So I did a clean install on a drive and all looked great!
    No other software installed except the system.
    Rebooted OK.
    I then did the apple software update and restarted.
    No startup!
    Rebooted with option key down - no drives??
    I have been working on this for three days and seem to be going backwards at best.
    I can boot sometimes and usually get a kernal panic eventually.
    It can happen right away or an hour later.
    Sometimes I get a message "your computer was shut down etc" sometimes I don't!?
    Sometimes I get a startup chime - sometimes I don't!!??
    What should I do next?
    Advise whatever info you might need and I will do my best to provide it.

    I stripped my Mac down to barebones incluing original 80GB Drive 512 RAM and Original Video card and started over.
    To make a long procedure shorter I found that all hardware was OK and after running ASD to confirm I reinstalled all my hardware/Add ins except for drives.
    I then started to check each drive individually with Applejack and then formatting and reinstalling virgin systems on each drive.
    Applejack and/or the system DVD would not fix and/or install on three of the Hard Drives (1 IDE 500GB and 2 500GB SATA)due to permission corruption. I could not do anything with these drives at all!
    When I had these individual drives in the computer I experienced kernel panics with every one!
    All the drives were under warranty and Western Digital replaced all of them. (I cannot begin to tell you how great Western Digital was in turnaround time and cross shipping and help in this matter.) Their warranty service is the best I have ever experienced bar none!
    I am now running non stop for nearly a week without any kernel panic or problem whatsoever. I have also noticed a significant speed up in my computer.
    I have rebooted many times and run non stop for days at a time.
    I maintain my computer with maintenance scripts once per week and do it faithfully and this type of permission issue can still occur!
    Without my backups there would have been a disaster for me.
    Many thanks to all the peolpe that emailed help to me from all sources.
    Sometimes out of the worst of situations good prevails.

  • 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.

    --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.

  • Aperture Kernel Panics & Fusion Disk Corruptions

    We have a  new iMac with the Fusion drive bought not to long ago. It has 16gb memory. Since it's back to school, we are busier than this past summer
    We are editing about 200 - 400 images a day. While in Aperture we have had kernel panics and a major spinning ball freezes with a total reboot freeze that ended up with  corruption on the Fusion drive.
    We have ask some tech people, and all have said, when working with large raw images, which we do, the drive cannot keep up with editing, esp when using the brush tool. Also missing files sometimes, like magic their gone.
    Anyone else have this.
    PS we have swaped out the memory 3 times and still had issues. I don't think the drive can handle the work.

    While I am runing a DIY Fusion Drive on a Mac Pro, I am a heavy user of Aperture and have noticed no problems what so ever with my current setup.
    It might be helpful if you canpost a crash dump from one of your kernel panics.

  • Kernel panic - hard drive or corrupt journal system?

    Hi,
    My powerbook G4 shut down today with a kernel panic and now won't boot up (giving a kernel panic error after reaching the gray screen). The computer has been working fine, though the battery has run down, with the exception of not shutting down properly (I would have to power off manually). I tried various things to fix this (repair permissions, check hard drive, checking logs, etc.), but all those checked out and I could never get it figured out. I have been leaving the computer running because of this and it has been working fine. It is a stock G4 with no peripherals, except for a 1 GB RAM upgrade. The RAM was installed two years ago and tested strenuously with memtest with no issues.
    I did have my hard drive near full, as I didn't realize that this could case severe issues. It's probably too full to do a clean Archive and Install. My fault.
    I have reset my PMU/PRAM, but the computer won't boot up in safe mode or single-user mode. I get the following message at the end of single-user mode:
    Kernel version:
    Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.0: Wed Oct 10 18:26:00 PDT 2007: root:xnu-792.24.17~1/RELEASE_PPC
    panic: We are hanging here ...
    Unfortunately, I do not have my backup disks with me right now, as I recently moved (I will have them in a couple weeks).
    There's some data on the computer it would be nice to pull off, but not absolutely essential. So my question is: Does this sound like a hard drive problem or a journal system/file system problem or something else? I hear no strange noises from the drive (the fan is a little noisy, though). What can I do at this point while I wait for my discs to arrive from across country?
    If this is a file problem, I have heard these are difficult to fix or even deal with in terms of data recovery, since the disk won't mount even in firewire target mode. Should I invest in a firewire external drive in order to create a bootable second drive? Purchase DiskWarrior? Create a bootable Linux CD? Any help would be appreciated!

    darksurtur:
    If you have the original HDD with which the computer was bought you likely have a failed HDD and should have it replaced with a newer, faster and large capacity HDD. The average life of an internal HDD is 3 to 5 years, and although it may not suddenly stop functioning after that performance gradually decreases until the drive fails completely.
    A too full drive can cause serious directory corruption which can in turn lead to data corruption and possible loss, and eventually a crash. You should maintain a minimum of 15% to total disk capacity (5 GB minimum on HDDs of 40 GB or less) as contiguous free space to allow for swap files and directory expansion.
    You should always maintain a current backup of everything you do not wish to lose as even a new HDD can fail suddenly. Using an external firewire drive and making a bootable clone using a utility like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner is an excellent way to accomplish this. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Backup and Recovery has excellent tips on backup strategies.
    Please do post back if you have further questions or comments.

  • Corrupt Encrypted Sparseimage, PrivateFrameworks and Kernel Panics

    Hi Maclovers,
    After a kernel panic my encrypted sparseimage with valuable data won't mount:
    # hdiutil attach sec3.bak.sparseimage
    hdiutil: attach failed - Defektes Image // german for 'corrupt image'
    Attaching the following string:
    0000b90: 2c45 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ,E..............
    0000ba0: 0000 0001 6364 7361 656e 6372 ....cdsaencr
    gives:
    diskimages-helper(11183) malloc: * vm_allocate(size=3190173696) failed (error code=3)
    diskimages-helper(11183) malloc: * error: can't allocate region
    diskimages-helper(11183) malloc: * set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug
    hdiutil: attach failed - Speicher kann nicht zugewiesen werden // german for 'memory not allocable'
    Okay, no problem I thought, Mac OS X builds on Open Source Software, so I can decrypt the sparseimage by hand (with perl) and rescue the needed data with a hexeditor.
    But, the DiskImages Framework (/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskImages.framework/DiskImages) is not Open Source
    From poking around with gdb and strings I learned that hdiutil uses sha,sha1,sha256,sha512 and md5. But I was unable to figure out
    - how the password is expanded for the 128 bit aes key (plain md5/sha0,1,256,512 won't work)
    - in which mode aes runs (ecb/cbc/ofb)
    Do you know it and can you give me a hint?
    Btw: from gdb:
    openssl related
    0x9194711c aes128_cbccipher
    0x9196cd9a aes128_cfb128cipher

  • [DISSOLVED] was kernel panics, fs corruption, rsync, mem/efi...

    Until today, Arch was running essentially fine on my laptop. Today, I had a kernel panic which forced me to cold reboot the machine. On reboot, I got more panics. I get panics whether I boot to runlevel 3, runlevel 5 or runlevel s. I get them with the lts kernel as well as the current one.
    I even get kernel panics if I boot from the install usb I installed from in November.
    The only boot which seems to work is booting finnix which is installed to a separate partition for emergency use.
    fsck reports lots of errors. If I get it to fix one error, it finds more on the next run. Sometimes it will claim the fs is clean but fsck -fn says there are still errors. Sometimes fsck -f will give the partition a clean bill of health but if I repeat it, it will find new errors.
    I have tried with fsck from finnix and fsck from the install media and from the system in single user mode. The latter two end with kernel panics.
    smartctl finds no problems with the disk.
    fsck also finds problems with my backups which are stored on an external drive. This drive was not attached when the original kernel panic occurred. It showed errors without any kernel panic occurring while it was connected. However, fscking it from the arch install media just caused another kernel panic.
    At least, they look like kernel panics. I'm not sure whether they are or not because in some cases (not the original), I can switch to another tty. Just I very quickly get a crash there too once that has happened and commands tend to hang, especially disk related commands such as blkid or fsck, or give errors.
    I desperately need advice. I have critical data on the drive. My backup is entirely current but since that too has errors, I'm not sure what to do for the best. So far, everything I've tried seems to have only made the situation worse - fsck, looking at the backup, booting from the install media...
    Most fsck errors seem to concern incorrect inodes (it offers to clear them), inodes with illegal blocks (it offers to clear them), directory structure e.g. illegal characters in entries (it offers to fix them), incorrect references etc. In some cases, attempts to fix things don't seem to succeed: another run produces the same errors. In other cases, fsck wants to undo previous fixes on a second run e.g. for the same node it will say the reference count is 4 and should be 1 but if I let it fix that, on the next run it will say it is 1 but should be 4. I'm also getting "internal errors" due to missing information.
    I'm ending up with a lot of things in lost+found...
    The system is currently booted from the install media. I'm trying to shutdown as I'm on my fourth tty but it has hung trying to unmount filesystems.
    Filesystems with errors are primarily ext4 because most of my filesystems are ext4.

    I'm not sure what to make of this. Do I need to remake the kernel for boot using mkinitcpio? Or do I need to repopulate /boot/efi/efi/grub/? I see there's some sort of inconsistency about memory. I'm wondering if one bit of the system is working with stale data about the installed RAM that I need to somehow update while the other bit is detecting the available RAM "live" and getting a different answer (since I've basically pulled 2*4G of RAM and installed 1*2G from a different source.)
    Edit: I was getting this before my system went nuts with my previous memory installed and no problems. So worrying though it may be, I don't think it is more worrying than usual...

    I need some help with this kernel panic situation I'm experiencing. The number of panics have progressively gotten worse in the past couple months, and had increased to a panic about every half hour.
    Today I went to see the Apple Geniuses and they did a complete erase of my hard drive and reinstall of OSx 10.6.8. I have yet to add any new programs since thehard drive wipe. I was actually trying to download Adobe CS6 dmg when my computer had a kernel panic and forced me to shutdown. (I was also running Safari when that happened.)
    I was assured by the Apple Genius (on this visit and the one a couple months ago) that there is nothing wrong with any of my hardware. My machine has also passed every hardware test I've done. We thought the initial kernel panic situation was due to 3rd party software from X-rite (Color Munki) as that showed up on my reports.
    I don't know what the problem is now since my machine has been wiped.
    Can anyone here please help?
    Here's my panic report:

    Thanks for the quick reply Carolyn! I appreciate the help.
    The Apple Genius ran a full diagnostic of my hardware today. I ran the Apple Hardware Test a couple days ago. Everything says hardware is not the issue. I'm really not sure what is happening since it keeps passing multiple hardware tests and there are no 3rd party software additions. I have read of other people having OSx kernel panics with 10.6.8.
    I did update software that Apple recommended when I turned my computer on -- Safety Update and Java. Other than that, I haven't added any other software since my hard drive wipe (since my CS6 wouldn't complete before the kernel panic).

  • I have kernel panic too! but for a different reason...

    hey all
    my macbook has recently started experiencing kernel panic and i cant figure out why.
    the first time it happened i used disk utility to verify the hard drive. DU said the hard drive needed to be repaired. i tried to boot up from the OSX 10.4 disk that came with my computer, but my computer wouldnt boot. so i booted up from disk warrior instead. i rebuilt the directory, ran the hardware check (no probs reported) and had DW check all files and folders. DW reported one corrupt .plist file. (i have looked at every single .plist file in the folder DW told me to but the corrupt file is nowhere to be found.) however, when i booted up normally and ran disk utility again DU said my hard drive was fine.
    then kernel panic struck again. did a little research and found apple jack. ran all 5 of apple jack scripts and AJ also said all is well.
    kernel panic again. used cleanapp to delete some old programs and empty caches. manually deleted about 80% of .plist files hoping that one of them would be the corrupt one. DW still reports one corrupt .plist file. so i decide to wipe the computer and do a clean install of 10.4. but when i try to open the OSX installer (from the disk that came with my computer) i get a message that says 10.4 cant be installed on this computer... that it isnt compatible. ***?
    more research and this time decide on tech tools pro. run every test TTP has to offer and everything checks out fine.
    so... now i dont know what to do. and my computer just had kernel panic again this morning. i pasted the report from it below. i dont know enough to tell if theres anything in there that explains whats wrong with my computer.
    can anyone out there help me? in the very least can anyone tell me how to get my computer to recognize that it is compatible with 10.4 so i can erase everything and start again?
    bah! this *****. thx in advance for any help you can give...

    fettered, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    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. What external devices do you have connected? When trying to troubleshoot problems, disconnect all external devices. Do you experience the same problems?
    To eliminate RAM being the problem, Look at this link: *Testing RAM* @ http://guides.macrumors.com/Testing_RAM Then download & use Memtest & Ramber.
    May be a solution on one of these links.

    It seems to me that the problem is somewhere in the ATI kernel module. I've run Disk Utility, fsck, and AppleJack, and all come back with no problems. I also ran the Apple Hardware Test and everything came back OK. I haven't added anything to the computer application-wise. In fact, the only thing that changed was the 10.4.8 update.
    I don't really want to archive and install if I don't have to. Does anyone know what may be causing this?

    Hi, cygnus8595. Welcome to the Discussions.
    Each of your panic logs begins with one of the following lines:
    Unresolved kernel trap(cpu 0): 0x300 - Data access
    or
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0xFFFF0003): 0x300 - Data access
    These indicate an 0x300 trap (error). The 0x300 (Data Access) exception indicates the processor could not perform a data memory access. Potential causes, in general terms, include RAM problems, hard disk corruption, and programming errors.
    "Programming errors" in this case can include invalid instructions and violations of protected memory, however it is often difficult to differentiate a programming error from a RAM or hard disk problem since the latter two issues can cause a valid instruction to appear invalid.
    As you noted, the Backtrace section of the panic logs flag your graphics card and related subsystems:<pre>Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):
    com.apple.ATIRadeon(4.1.8)@0x7ce000
    dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(1.7)@0x45f000
    dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(1.4.1)@0x6ab000
    dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(1.4.1)@0x6cf000</pre>This may indicate a problem with the graphics card, such as bad VRAM (video RAM), but further testing is required.
    See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics.
    My FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work through to the end, following the instruction in the order specified, including the "If all else fails..." section if a cause or resolution is not found in an earlier troubleshooting step therein.
    Good luck!

    You shouldn't have them at all. I don't see anything in the 2 panic reports implicating Safari?
    Disconnect all peripherals, only Apple keyboard and mouse and test. Often connected peripherals cause kernel panics. See isolating issues in Mac OS X. for troubleshooting steps.
    EDIT: Run your Repair Disk from your install disk.
