can any one help me out here, tomorrow I am going to boot it into target disk mode and install from a G5 onto the powerbooks HD doing a CLEAN install and then I am going to try booting it from a DVD and doing another CLEAN intstall just cause I dont trust a firewire install for some reason. I would like to avoid all this mess if possible. ANY HELP PLEASE, either respond or email me tend0 at mac dot com. thanks

haha oh man thanks for startin slow with me, but we are passed that tested RAM, start up items, prefs, tried makin a new user account, as I stated before I can not boot from a DVD/CD.. that was one of the problems so I cant run anything that involves tageting the main HDD while its mounted. I have also repaired perms, ran fsck, tried booting up DiskWarrior(didnt boot from the CD), etc. if any one knows this perticular kernel panic string and can point out what the conflict is I can resolve it but other than that I have ran the run of the mill check to see if everything is in order procedure again and again.

Kernel Panics during system boot, and no kind of network connectivity

I've tried quite a lot of things here, so please read them all before you suggest something - and thanks for taking a look at my question (-:
I recently got my Mac Pro back from the AlaskaMacStore (not an actual apple retail store, and they aren't very good at that), having brought it in for loss of FW800. They sent it to Apple, and I received it back, supposedly with a new motherboard - and my FW800 working. However, it proceeded to kernel panic (complete visual system freeze, not greyscreenofdeath - oddly enough, iTunes would never stop playing during them) at least once a day after that.
Not wanting to deal with them again, I just used it like that and put up with it - but soon enough, I lost any sort of network connectivity as well. With AirPort connected to my Time Capsule's network (which worked fine on my Macbook Air and iPhone and various other devices), I was being told "...Self-Assigned IP address, and thus may not be able to connect to the internet...". Even connected directly via Ethernet to the Time Capsule, or directly via Ethernet to the cable modem, or directly via Ethernet to another Mac, or connected to another Mac's ad-hoc network, I could get absolutely no network communication going on of any sort.
This was too much for me, as all of my work requires frequent and heavy internet access, so I gave in and took it back to the local mac store equivalent - they charged me 100$, and kept it two days, just to tell me they 'couldn't reproduce the problem'. I took the Mac Pro to a friend's house, and went through the same tests - connected to his modem, with his Ethernet cords, and to his wireless and other macs. Same deal, no connection or indication of a networking being connected beyond that blasted 'self-assigned IP' in Network prefs.
Having no desire to be defrauded by the local fools again, I decided I didn't really have anything important on my internal hard drive, and decided to wipe the internals and re-install Leopard. My horrible luck continuing, I found my only Leopard disc to be cracked, prompting me to drive out and purchase a new one. Inserting this into my Mac Pro's drive, I found myself faced with yet another horrible problem.
During the boot to the Leopard DVD, the grey loading screen (with the apple logo and the spinner) simply froze with the spinner pointing left. I left it for a while, expecting this to be part of what I'd previously experienced with the slow boot-from-DVD on a Macintosh... but after 30 minutes of waiting, I got quite worried, and booted back into my normal OS by holding down Option and selecting my RAID.
Now, note this for later - it booted absolutely fine, and though I still had no network connectivity, the system had no problems. I changed the startup-disk to my RAID and then back to the Leopard DVD, naïvely thinking this would solve the problem, and ran into the same problem after restarting and booting to the Leopard DVD again.
Dismissing this as a optical drive problem (haven't had occasion to use optical media in nearly 3 years, don't really trust it in general), I booted the Mac Pro into Firewire Target Disk mode, and connected it to my Macbook Pro, and then booted the Macbook Pro from the installation DVD. Again, note carefully here - there was nothing wrong with the DVD itself, as the Macbook Pro had no trouble booting to the DVD.
I used Disk Utility to preform some planned modifications to the internal drives of my Mac Pro (erasing my previous inefficient RAID setup in favor of a new, faster (but less secure) RAID0 striped setup for my main two 1TB drives), and then proceeded to install a fresh Leopard onto the newly minted RAID. I usually cancel the 'disc checksum' that the Leopard DVD runs on itself, not really worrying about it, but in light of recent possible problems with the DVD, I went ahead and let it run - no problems, it completed and went straight into the normal install.
The install itself completed in a timely manner, and my Macbook Pro re-booted automatically, to the newly Leopard-ed RAIDed internals on the Mac Pro. It booted to the new install without a hitch, played the Leopard intro video, and continued to the setup cube. I opted to shut down (by hitting command-q and selecting the shut down option), so I could set it up on the Mac Pro instead.
Surprised was I, when I experienced the same grey loading screen freeze on the Mac Pro, booting to the newly clean install on the new RAID, that I had seen trying to boot to the Leopard disc. Worrying that my Leopard disc was, infact, corrupted in some way, I tried placing the Macbook Pro into firewire Target Disc Mode, and booting that drive over FW800 on the Mac Pro. Same freezing problem occurred.
Well, now, the only installation that HADN'T kernel panicked on boot was the old install, and that had been erased for the new RAID configuration, so I was left without a way to boot to a working install and test things from the Term. This left me with Single User Mode, which I immediately booted into.
Interestingly enough, there was no problem booting into Single User Mode - so I poked around a bit before mounting, and I had seemingly fine access to the entire filesystem of the new Leopard install, and nothing looked screwed up to my (albiet untrained) eye. After mounting and continuing the boot, it froze - but since this was verbose SUM, and not simple normal boot, I was able to see exactly where it froze: something about 'mDNSResponder starting', and then no input or output was accepted, leaving me assuming it had kernel panicked again.
To test this, I again attempted to boot from the Leopard DVD on the Mac Pro, this time in verbose startup mode, and watched it freeze up at exactly the same point. After a little googling, I found some suggestions to disable the launchd plist for mDNSResponder - I tried SUM again, and did so, then continued with the boot. This time, there was no output relating to mDNSResponder, so the launchd change had worked; however, it still froze - this time, right after three lines, first something along the lines of 'Login Window Application Starting', and then two lines printing Ethernet IDs of some sort. After those Ethernet related lines, it again froze.
What with the DNS and Ethernet bits showing up in the freezing, I was getting worried this was still tied into my NIC in some way, so I unplugged my Ethernet cords and tried the exact same boot again, and again disabled mDNSResponder. This time the only sensible thing before the freeze was the 'Login Window Application Starting' line, which seemed perfectly normal. I doubt there is/was anything wrong with that, so I'm assuming there's still some networking-related process freezing/panicking the computer, and it just doesn't happen to log in a visible way during startup.
Does anybody have any suggestion as to what such a process might be, and how I can at least pause or kill it from SUM, so I can at least finish booting the computer?
If I can't figure out a solution to this, I'll have to buy a new Mac Pro tomorrow morning... I have very, very pressing matters that can't wait for a new Mac Pro to ship, nor can they wait for me to ship this one to Apple and back (I live in Alaska, we have at least a weeks wait if nothing is seriously wrong when sending an Apple product in for repairs on our own), and nor can I wait 2 days for the local Apple store to tell me there's nothing wrong with it and then have to wait another week to, again, send it to Apple myself. I don't want to have to shell out for a new, expensive computer when there's a (most likely) perfectly good one sitting here... so any help would be MUCH appreciated.
If you've read this far, phew, you deserve a cookie. That was one... long... post.
(If you care, this post was cross-posted to my blog, at http://blog.elliottcable.name/posts/macpro_epicfail.xhtml)

Talk about bad luck.
The point at which the system "freezes" with the gray spinner (and just after the login window app starts) is right about the point the accelerated drivers should kick in for the video card.
So a couple things could be going on.
1) bad video card dragging down the bus
2) The system board is fubar - this I think is likely - issues with onboard ethernet, and whats seems to be video card related.
I would hazard to guess that the PCI-express bus has something wrong with it, ethernet and video live on the bus, SATA, and USB live in the southbridge.
So, looks like a trip to a certified apple dealer/repair center is next for your Mac Pro - probably for a new system board, again?
Something tells me that your system really didn't get to Apple for a new board.
You can verify by looking at the serial ID tag on the system board, note the rev and serial # before and after such repairs.

Kernel panics, spinning wheel and restart dialogs on startup

That's it! Time for a little help from you guys and gurus before I chuck my iMac out the window.

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?

Frequent kernel panic during boot up

Hi,
I am having frequent kernel panic during system bootup. It takes atleast 3-5 attempts for the machine to boot-up without a panic. It is not consistent. I have disabled dropbox and removed firefox and chrome which I suspected was causing the problem.
Any idea what could be causing the panic? Once the system boots up, it some times stays up for a long time before a panic happens again.
The error report is below. Let me know what other details are required to trouble shoot this issue.

Thanks for the pointers and suggestions. The system was up and running with out any panics. So I decided to upgrade to Mountain Lion. I was able to download it through App Store and start the installation. Everything went through fine and finally when it had to restart, it took a long time and stopped at the grey screen showing the prohibitory sign.
After waiting for quite a long time decided to hard restart the machine. Same issue. So used the option keys at bootup and went into disk utility.
Verify disk permission threw up some errors. Then Verify Disk started throwing up errors and stopped in between and suggested to run Repair Disk.
When I ran the Repair Disk it threw up an error mid way and said:
Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restor your backed-up files.
I ran Repair Disk again and it went through fine. No issues this time. Ran fix permission option as well. That also went through fine. Then restarted the system.
No use - It still shows the prohibitory sign and progress circle....just stays there....
Any advice on what next?
Thanks,
Sudhir

Kernel panic when booting from DVD or external drive

Hey Folks,
I have a 13" MBP, seems to run fine for the most part.
However, I can't boot from DVDs or external hard drives. Disk Warrior, my and a tech support buddy of mine's OSX Snow Leopard DVDs, and external boot disks all cause a kernel panic when selected from the alternate boot menu when rebooting with alt.
The DVD/External spins up, the loading spinner goes for about 20-30 seconds, and then BAM - Kernel panic. I'd reinstall OSX... but I can't!
Any suggestions? I'd rather not send the computer to a tech for a week - I need it daily for work.

Kernel panics during TM backup

I have been having problems with kernel panics during Time Machine backups and I would like to find out if others have had similar experiences. If this is a problem unique to my configuration, then I need to do more work. If others are having the same issue, then perhaps I just need to wait until a fix is issued.
Some background, I am using TM on two computers, an early 2006 iMac and a first generation Aluminum 15" Powerbook. On the iMac, TM is now very reliable, on the PB, it will ALWAYS kernel panic at least once during a large backup, sometimes 2 or 3 times before it manages to finish the backup. Since I have been playing around with backup disk configurations, I've made several initial backups, so I've also seen quite a few kernel panics, but ONLY when TM is running a large backup.
Are you hit with kernel panics during TM backups? I see some discussion along those lines in this forum.
The most recent initial backup was with Spotlight disabled and it DIDN'T panic. This was unusual. As TM is adding files to the backup disk, Spotlight is busy indexing the new files at the same time. It is possible that the two are not playing well together on the lower performance machines, such as this 1.25 GHz G4. By adding the backup disk to Spotlight's privacy list, Spotlight is inhibited from indexing the backup disk.

For information, this problem appears to be due to some unique problem with my particular computer.
I had been having 2 or 3 kernel panics every day. Finally, I did a Safe Boot and the panics ceased completely. Not one in the last month. Looks like it was some kind of corrupt data that the Safe Boot cleaned up.

Why do I get a kernel panic during large downloads?

Since I got my new MacBook Pro, it's been doing kernel panics during large file downloads.
Getting rid of Chrome seemed to help but today the panics are back. I just started up in Safe Boot mode and the downloads (two files, approx. 500 and 300 MB, respectively) completed downloading without incident.
While I'm checking out my startup items, has anyone else seen this problem? I didn't have this problem with my Core 2 Duo.

I took a look at the dump and saw a reference to an Elmedia Player kext. I remembered that in another thread someone mentioned this giving some trouble, I uninstalled it. I'll keep an eye on it to see if the problem comes back.
Here's what I've got:

Cant boot from USB - Mavericks OSX

Hi guys,
i have a macbook air late 2008, it was working perfectly until some day,i was
watching a video,and it just freezes..
then i have to force restart it an so on, i cant start without freezing the screen i like...5 minutes or less...
So i decided to format it... but the problem is i cant boot from USB too...
heres the verbose :

Did you ever get this to work? I even made the Diag USB with the tablet 10 special code - and when I select the USB device for boot, screen goes black for a few seconds - then back to the menu.
I can't boot a default win 8.1 Pro CD either (with a lenovo USB drive).
I tried win10 and it pooched my system - does not boot at all, so I need to boot of an external device.

Kernel Panic, but I can still boot into windows? :(

Hi folks,
2007?'ish MBP 2.2
machine (normally) boots right in to SL (latest rev).
holding option, I can choose SL or Windows XP.
I have a firmware password set up (i know the password if i need it)
the problem: when i turn my mac on, it will not boot into Mac right away. I get an error that it's "unable to find driver for this platform: \ "ACPI\".\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1486.2.11/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp.:1 389
there's more, but I won't type it just yet b/c I just thought of a possible reason:
I was reviewing photos with a client for a slideshow (everything is backed up..no worries) and she had a thumb drive with more photos. I plugged it in the USB, but it wouldn't read or open in finder.
No worries - I ran downstairs to my mac pro, it worked. Dragged the pics off.
Shut down my macbook pro b/c I wasn't using it and when I tried to turn it on later, this problem is there.
What I've tried:
resetting SMC
resetting PRAM
can't do the TDM - read the article about needing to install the software to open passwords, but hard to do if the computer is down (unless they mean installing it on the machine from which I'm trying to access it?)
i tried holding option to key in my firmware password, but the same thing happens - can't access the Mac side of things. I can access the Windows section and as I'm typing this, it looks like I'm able to access the install disc
Just thought I would post this for 2 reasons:
1. to see if there's anything else I can do (I am going to try disk utilities to repair the disc)
and 2. to help anyone else out in case they have the same issue.
Cheers,
Keebler

Backup what you can, boot from a compatible installer DVD, erase the hard drive, then reinstall OS X.
Alternatively, you can try the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

I do not know about Disk Warrior but if you have a compatible OSX on an external HDD you certainly can boot the MBP. Use startup manager:

Kernel panic during Leopard 10.5.3/4 net-installation

Hi,
We have built universal Leopard images on net-install server. I am getting kernel panic during net-installation of 10.5.3 and 10.5.4 images on old iMac bubble G4 machines. These images's net-installation works perfect on latest machines like G5, Intel MacPro, iMac G5.
I am not getting any problem with 10.5.2 image with this old bubble machine. But this problem occurs only after 10.5.3 images. Here is a small part panic trace, (Sorry, I couldn't get full trace since there was no way to copy it)

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Rohit;
It appears your Leopard question has been posted in the OS 9 forum. You might have a better chance for an answer if you report over in the Leopard forum.

Kernel Panic during Installation

Recently, Tiger (in my macbook) has been experiencing crazy problems. Programs refuse to start, quit suddenly, the OS X get kernel panics, and other issues. So I went to the this Apple message board and ask. I tried various solutions; they all work, BUT the problems would return and new ones arise. The main solution was reparing disk and its permissions. It worked at first but troubles persist. So then I decided to reinstall Tiger through archive and install. It almost finished but once it was setting up iwork, everything stopped for an hour until I manually shut the computer down. I attempted another try, same problem. So I moved onto erase and install. Everything worked out well until I came to the setup info screen. Things were going fine until BAM, kernel panic. I shut down the mac again and it loads os x. Now i'm afraid things will repeat itself. How often would one get a kernel panic during installation (in this case info setup)? I just want everything normal.
Mac mini, MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1GB, 1.25GB Ram (respectively)

How often
would one get a kernel panic during installation (in
this case info setup)?
Um...never? Kernel Panics are never something you should encounter on any sort of regular basis. Sounds like it could be a bad hardware component, most likely the RAM. Has it been upgraded since you got it?
Anyway, I'd take it to an Apple Store or get on the line with AppleCare asap.

Cant boot from CD

Hello everyone,
I have an imac 700mz, I ran norton disk doctor, it told me I had a few major problems on my hard drive and to boot from the norton disk, when I tried I could not boot from the cd rom, I held down the "c" key and what it does is eject the disk then It boots up from the HD. I also reset the pram and also tried to boot from another disk that also didn't help. I dont know we it ejects the disk during start up but I think that is the problem.
Any suggestions?
Thank you Gus

Hello Gus,
First of all get rid of Norton, use it for a coaster or a frisbee but not on your Mac! Do not let Norton near your X system, it will hose it!
Norton Disk Doctor is not compatible with OS X 10.4 Tiger. Symantec ceased development of Norton Utilities for Macintosh and Norton SystemWorks for Macintosh over 2 years ago.
Here is a link to Uninstall Norton. Don't use the uninstaller on your Norton disk. (That uninstaller is not compatible with 10.4 Tiger)
This uninstaller works with Tiger and will find the 30 or so "invisibles" you will never find if you do it manually. However it may leave behind some files. Depending on which Norton you have installed.
Download and run Cocktail in "Interface" > "Finder" choose to see "invisibles". Or use OnyX.
Look for files like these on the top level of your hard drive:
/Norton FS Volume 2
/NAV Mac 800QS File
/Norton FS Data 808K
/Norton FS Volume
/Norton FS Index
Find those files drag them (not command-delete) to the trash and empty it.
Get TechToolPro 4.5 or DiskWarrior 3.0.3 if you want to have a good utility on hand.

12-inch G4 powerbook 1.0GHz has kernel panics every restart

I have a 12-inch G4 powerbook 1.0Ghz machine that keeps having kernel panics every restart.
I have run the Apple Hardware Test, and this comes back fine saying there is nothing wrong with any of the hardware. I have reset the PRAM, and repaired the disc permissions.
I thought it might be a software issue, so I archived and re-installed the system software. Still didnt work. Then I tried the erase and install, still didnt work.
Is there anything else I can check to see what is causing the kernel panic. Anything else I can use to test the hardware to make sure. I have a bad feeling it is the logicboard even though the Apple Hardware Test said it was fine.
The kernel panic is also not even creating a log, so I cannot even let you know why it is causing the kernel panic. Any help will be much appreciated

gazo:
Glad removing the Airport Extreme card worked. You can try wiping off the contacts with a lint free cloth, and replacing the Airport card making sure it is securely seated. Sometimes heating and cooling along with the normal handling of a laptop dislodges the card enough to cause problems. If that doesn't help you will need to get a new card.

CDBOOT: Cant boot from CD - Code 5 (Windows 7)

Hey gang,
I been searching for the past 2 days for my answer but unable to find it. Maybe you guys can help me which is VERY VERY VERY important that I get Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro!
I have a Windows 7 ISO which I obtain leggaly. When I turn off my Mac and when it boots back up I keep getting:
CDBOOT: Cant boot from CD - Code 5
I have a "early" 2011 Macbook pro, I made 6 diffrent versions of the ISO (which none work), and Im stuck on what to do next.
I have tried to mount then burn, creat new ISO then burn, and I even tried to change the buring speed to x2. I even tried 3 diffrent types of media too...
I been using the Disc Utility which came with my Mac which is ran by Lion 10.7.2
Any ideas on what to do?

This may be the answer. https://discussions.apple.com/message/10499544#10499544
However, if that doesn't work, why bother with bootcamp? Use a virtual drive via Parallels or Fusion, and run both simultaneously. Rebooting is a pain.
