Kernel panic on startup after 10.6.8 update

My 12-core 2010 Mac Pro was OK until I updated to 10.6.8 I get this error message "Unable to find driver for this plateform: ACPI.
Any idea ?? I tried disk utility, zapping PRAM, safe boot... Did not help.

To start try this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard 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 Utilities menu. 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Next download the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo and reinstall using this updater.

Kernel panic on startup after Software Update

My mother's iBook G4 is unable to startup due to a kernel panic that began after the last software update.
On boot, the computer goes to the kernel panic (You need to restart your computer) screen after a few seconds of the Apple logo screen. It cannot boot in Safe Mode or Single User mode (it hangs after reporting system uptime.)
It can boot into Target Disk mode.
The iBook updated its software (Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 6, Security Update 2009-006, HP Printer Drivers Update 1.1.1 and Safari 4.0.4) yesterday, then restarted and kernel panicked.
This happened to my girlfriend's PowerBook right after an update too, and because she didn't have her system disks, I asked my Mom to send her copy of 10.5 to me from SF to Portland. Now, the same thing has happened while I was in SF, and the system disk is in Portland (meaning I don't have an OS disk.)
Is there some way to fix this? I have full access to the disk on the iBook through a FireWire cable and target disk mode on my MacBook Pro (but disk utility can't check permissions.) Seems that I should be able to fix it somehow. Ideas?

Install the combo update that you can download from the Apple download site at http://www.apple.com/downloads/ . Sometimes the software update function doesn't install the updates correctly, causing just odd behaviors. The combo update has all prior updates from that OS X version included. If possible, it's good to repair permissions before and after the combo update.

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
Debugger called: <painic>
Backtrace (cpu1), Frame : Return Address (4 potential args on stack)
and the a list of numbers....
any and all help would be appreciated to help me resolve this

Bump, can anyone help?

Kernel panic on startup after sitting off or coming out of sleep.

like it says, after it's been off a while or out of a sleep i get a kernel panic about three times and then it seems to run fine. No panic during applications or anything. here is the panic log:

Does this jibberish mean anything to anyone?
What should I do? Does not seem to boot in single user mode either. CD or HD - has been doing this for months but i've just been busy and I can still use it but it's frustrating to start up....HELP

When trying to troubleshoot problems, disconnect all external devices except your monitor, kbd & mouse. Do you experience the same problems?
May be a solution on one of these links.

Kernel Panic GPU-related after 10.8.4 update

Hello,
I would appreciate some help. Since I updated to Mac Os X 10.8.4, I'm experimenting kernel panics on my Macbook Air (2011). I think it's a GPU-related issue.

The kexts don't seem to referenciate any third party software. It looks like I've problems with the GPU and/or iPhoto, but I don't understand this kind of things properly. I must point here that, before the update, I don't have any problemas at all. Also, I've seen in the support forums that there are bugs on Nvidia graphic cards in Mountain Lion. So... my questions are: a) Is this some kind of bug? b) Can I do something to solve this issue (I've already checked Activity Monitor, reset PRAM, repaired permissions, erased Macintosh HD and restored my hard drive... without results)? c) Could you help me?
Thanks!

That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
A stale or corrupt kernel cache
A damaged OS X installation
A fault in a peripheral device, if any
Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
An obscure bug in OS X
You may already have ruled out some of these.
Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model. Memory that is either slower or faster than specified may be incompatible.
The Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at least two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

1-2 Kernel panics a day after 10.5.7 update

After updating to 10.5.7 I'm getting 1-2 kernel panics per day. I have tried the following:
* Downloaded 10.5.7 combo and reinstalled
* Run the memory test by booting up on the CD that came with the machine
* Run disk utility and verirified the hard disk is ok
* Repaired all permissions
* Reset the PRAM by pressing Command, Option, P, and R during boot up
None of the above has worked.
The kernel panic occurs during various processes but the log always says the following:
Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):
com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement(76.0.0)@0xb11000->0xb2ffff
Below is one example of the panic log.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Thanks!

I'm guessing something is corrupted assuming it's not a hardware problem. I would try this:
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.

Kernel panic upon shutdown after 10.5.2 update caused by virusscan 8.6

Hi I am wondering if anyone has experienced kernel panic due to virusscan manager (virusscan 8.6)
especially during shutdown.
I have had 4 panics since I went 10.5.2

The panics don't occur every time I shutdown It happens once in two days. This doesnt happen on my wife's computer the only differnece is hers is the latest 2.2Ghz model running 10.5.2 with just a single user mine is the mid 2007 mb 2.0 ghz with two users.
I run the virusscan as I am expected to run it If I have to use my mac in my school.

All advice appreciated.

"fault, registers" genreally indicate a bad module or incompatible modules.
Your 2010 Mac Mini 4,1 uses
PC3-8500 DDR3
unbuffered
non-parity
204-pin module
1066 MHz
If you have upgrade it with different RAM, then you need to reinstall the original RAM modules and order the correct ones.
Or if you have not upgrade the RAM, the you may have a bad module that needs to be replaced.
For quality RAM upgrades, go to either OWC macsales.com or Crucial.com and order RAM for a Mid 2010 Mac Mini.

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.

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 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:

I'm not an expert at reading panic logs but nothing you posted jumps out at me. Since you still get the panics with everything disconnected I would try repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility and reinstalling Mountian Lion.

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.

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:
panic (cpu 0 caller 0x560d25): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"APCI\".n" e/SourceCache/xnu/xnu_1504.9.37/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1389
Debugger called:<panic>
Backtrace (CPU0),Frame : Return Address (4 potential args on stack)
BDS process name corresponding to current thread: Unknown
Mac OS version: Not yet set
Kernel Version: Darwin Kernel Version 10.7.0: Sat Jan 29 15:17:16 PST 2011; root: xnu-1504.9.37~1/RELEASE_I386
I have tried booting from the Leopard disc but can't do a repair as it doesn't seem that it can find the Mac hard disc. 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

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.).

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:
/usr/bin/drutil eject.
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
