Kernel panic: Snow Leopard erase & install

Continuous kernel panics when trying to erase and install Snow Leopard on my Mini. I tried it via disk and also a flash drive, but both ways end with kernel panic. Any ideas how to get past this?

I can only tell you what I would infer from what you have reported which is a kernel panic when booting from an installer disc. This being the case then the computer is not functioning fine. Hardware can fail at any time. When it does then, yes, one moment it's working then the next moment it's not.
If you've reported information that isn't correct or stated it in a way that's easy to misinterpret, then please expand on the situation. Are your installers good - do they work on another computer? Do the installers have a version of OS X that's compatible with the computer? For example, if the computer came with 10.6.3 installed when it was new, then you cannot boot it with a previous version of OS X.

  • Kernel Panic Snow Leopard 10.6.4 + Logic Studio 9.1.1+ Motu firewire driver

    Strange Kernel Panics are happening to my MacbookPRo early'08
    I've just installed snow leopard,updated it to 10.6.4
    Installed Logic Studio 9 and updated it to 9.1.1
    Then I have a MOTU 896HD, installed drivers
    then restarted my mac and there they're, kernel panic at thge startup, just after the first sound of powering on.
    this is the kernel panic:

    I've done also a short video with an iPod nano to let you see completely this Kernel Panic. Don't wory, it's without any viruses or malware, I've just taken directly from my iPod nano.

    What can it be?
    Thanks a lot,

    The info is linked above. I agree that that info should be on the download page, but not having that info there doesn't mean the drivers aren't 64 bit.
    http://www.motu.com/techsupport/technotes/64-bit-mac-compatibility
    Hardware
    When using the 64-bit kernel in Mac OS X v10.6 and later, 64-bit hardware drivers must be used. MOTU FireWire/USB2 audio interfaces, PCI-424 audio interfaces, and USB MIDI interfaces can be used with the 32- or 64-bit kernel. *The minimum driver versions required for use with the 64-bit kernel are:*
    *FireWire/USB2 Audio 1.5 (37320)*
    PCI-424 Audio 1.5 (38352)
    USB MIDI 1.5 (37320)
    The current version available for download (after you log in) is 1.5.38352, so according to MOTU it is a 64 bit driver and runs on the 64 bit kernel.
    Download here, you may need to log in. Forget about the two pages you linked to, I'm not sure how you found them, but they are old and are no longer relevant. http://www.motu.com/download/downloadmatching_downloads.html?platform_id=2&productid=14
    The link to the download itself is here, again this link may not work if you don't log in first.
    http://s3.amazonaws.com/motu/downloads/firewire/MOTUAudioInstaller-1.5.38352.zip
    I downloaded the latest and tested it on 64 bit kernel and it worked fine, so yes, they are in fact 64 bit drivers. If you are still skeptical, just download for yourself and boot into the 64 bit kernel, you'll see that they work fine.

  • Kernel Panic only after I install 16GiB RAM but it passed memtest and AHT

    Kernel Panics occur after I installed the 16GiB RAM(Corsair Vengeance Laptop Memory Kit 16 GB (2x8 GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL10 PC3 12800 (CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10) in my MacBook Pro 17" 2011 early. It might appear in login window, or after using Safari for 2 or 3 hours. If I did't use the MBP overnight and just let it run, there would be strong possibility that kernel panic didn't occur. But on the next day when I went up and start using the computer, the kernel panic occur in half an hour.
    I run the memtest for 12+ hours and Apple Hardware Test for 19+ hours, but no error was found. I tried OS X Lion 10.7.4 and OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 GM, and even a clean install of 10.7.4, but it still occur.
    However, when I install one of the 16GiB a.k.a 8GiB, kernel panic never occur. I even tried one 8GiB with another my old 4GiB ram, and kernel panic didn't occur either.
    I've tried to fix the problems for 2 weeks, and I did everything I can. So, can anyone tell me which part might be bad, Mac or RAM? Should I goto Genius Bar or ask Corsair for RMA?
    Here's my latest panic log:

    My 8GiB RAM is also two 4GiB DDR3 1600MHz (SAMSUNG) and it was running very well.
    I also checked the intel documents (http://ark.intel.com/products/50067/Intel-Core-i7-2720QM-Processor-(6M-Cache-up- to-3_30-GHz), and it says:
    Memory Types
    DDR3-1066/1333/1600
    If you have read my original reply to you post, I did mention that someimes it will work and sometimes it won't.  Your Samsung might be rated at 1600MHz but the CL could be higher than your Corsair which is why it worked.
    The memory Type you read in the link you provided is motherboard/logicboard depended.  Your Logic board is rated at 1333MHz.  So going 1600MHz will not benefit you since you're locked at 1333MHz.
    good luck

  • Removing Snow Leopard and Installing only Windows on Mini

    I've owned my Mac Mini now for about a month; it was my first immersion into OS X and, quite frankly, I do not like it. I do like the physical form of the mini and figured I would just delete Snow Leopard and install Windows 7 (preferably 64 bit) on it.
    Can this be done? I don't want to use boot camp and lose all my partitions. I want it to be a Windows only machine.
    Thanks for your time.

    David is right. you need boot camp in order to install winsloth on a Mac.
    one way to go about that would be to install Mac OS X on an external drive, boot from there and use boot camp assistant to create one big partition on the Mac's startup disk for the winsloth installation.
    on the Mac side, use system preferences > startup disk to select which system is used to start up.
    nevertheless, i would @ least browse the boot camp forum for user tips on how to best achieve what you want.
    good luck !

  • Safari and other aplications super slow after update to Snow Leopard. Installed the update combo and nothing happened, still super super slow. Any tips to solve this?

    After updating to Snow Leopard (to install Lion later), Safari and other aplications became super super slow and Preview is not working properly, I can't print anything that was opened with Preview. Already installed the Combo update, nothing happened, Safari still taking hours to load any site. I honestly regret downloading Snow Leopard, the older version worked so much better... Hope Lion is smarter than Snow Leopard...

    when i try to install snow leopard with install disk, it has me restart the computer instead of installing. can anyone help me figure out how to get the disk to actually install?

    Ok, it's just a glitch that it's not auto-rebooting from the disk.
    Please backup your personal files off the machine to a regualr external drive and disconnect all drives before doing anything
    Take the 10.6 disk out and clean and polish the bottom with a very soft clean cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to cut the oils.
    Stick the disk in and reboot holding c key down, this will make it boot from the disk and you can install Snow Leopard that way.

    None of the instructions usually given for downgrading seems to mention the fact that you will lose some data in built-in applications, including at least Mail. When you installed Lion, your Mail database was converted from the format used by Snow Leopard's Mail to that used by Lion's Mail. There is no way to reverse that conversion. Therefore, you will lose your entire Mail database. If your messages are all stored on a remote server, that may not be an insurmountable problem, but otherwise you'll have to restore from the last backup you made before the upgrade, and then you'll still lose all changes to the database made since that time.
    Another fact not often mentioned is that downgrading is usually the worst possible solution to a problem with Lion. But that's the answer to a question you didn't ask.

  • Lion Kernel Panics - will an erase and install help?

    Since upgrading to Lion and iCloud I have been experiencing kernel panics on my Macmini. I'm currently troubleshooting and believe I have concluded that the  my USB or Firewire attached drives (a WD My Book 2TB and a Drobo 2G respectively) are not the cause (because the kernal panics still happen when these are disconnected and not powered on). I am discounting that RAM is issue for now, because this hasn't changed since I bought the Mini in 2010.
    So my investigations are focusing on software - I've already uninstalled several apps which I have read may cause issues (Logmein and WD RAID manager). I have also tried using Lion Cache Cleaner (LCC) but this in itself seems to be causing kernel panics, particulalry when using Clam AV to virus check the home and download directories. I've experienced 2 kernal panics using LCC (always at the Clam AV step) so I've given up on that.
    I've tried looking at the panic logs but I can't interpret them, so I'm thinking my last option is to completely wipe my Mini hard drive and do a fresh install of Lion and rebuild my system from the ground up. Given the lack of success with my troubleshooting, and the fact that I installed Lion on top of Snow Leopard in the first instance, leads me to believe this is the safest option.
    Is this the best approach or is there anything else I should try first? I have a clone and my data is backed up.

    So out of the three issues I did the following:
    com.DataRobotics.driver.iSCSIInitiator - I followed a procedure provided by Drobo support to completely erase and then reinstall the latest Lion Drobo Dashboard
    com.Logitech.Control Centre.HID Driver - I ugraded to the latest Lion version
    com.iospirit.driver.rbiokithelper - I couldn't actually find this in the location expected (~/Library/Preferences/) or anywhere else in my library for that matter. I think it was an app I must have deleted some time ago (Remote Buddy). So I downloaded the latest version of Remote Buddy for Lion, thinking that I could install and then unistall that to remove the driver. However, I did find the following kext which I removed (/System/Library/Extensions/RBIOKitHelper.kext)
    I decided this was enough so I retested everything by running a complete TimeMachine backup. Unfortunately I got another kernel panic this morning. From the log below it looks like the Logitech driver has updated. The datarobitics (Drobo) driver looks the same but I'm assuming this is ok for now as I completely reinstalled it, so that leaves me with com.iospirit.driver.rbiokithelper as the culprit. I've just got to find the d*mn thing to delete it!! When I do I'll try a backup again, and failing that, erase and install Lion.
    Obviously I can't really interpret the error log, but is there anything else which may be causing the issue?

  • Will installing Snow Leopard erase existing data already on my computer

    My Software is at 10.5.8 and I'm about to install Snow Leopard (pretty behind on the updates).  My question is:  Will installing this erase my existing data on my computer?  I have a lot of .ai files and such I need for my business that I have to keep.  I have an external hard drive that I just backed up on using time machine but I'm not 100% trustworthy of that.

    How to Install Snow Leopard Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your OS X Installer DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then 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. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) 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.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
      1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
      5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Destination entry field.
      6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Source entry field.
      7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal
    startup drive.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
      1. If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
      2. You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
      3. The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
    Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
          1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
          2. Restart the computer.
          3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
          4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
              logo appears.
          5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
    E. Update to 10.6.8:
      1. Download and install update:  Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

  • Snow Leopard - Erase HD and Fresh Install or Just Upgrade Leopard in place?

    Hi All,
    Normally when I upgrade my Macs I will completely erase the HD and then do a fresh OS install with subsequent App and data reload. I find this helps me clean up old apps no longer used, etc with a fresh start.
    Anyone have thoughts with Snow Leopard and best approach?

    You've opened a can of worms since no one has their hands on it yet. Wait till tomorrow.
    See also my user tip:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607614
    Which is subject to change tomorrow or later once I get my hands on testing the release version of Snow Leopard.

  • Kernel panic after Leopard install

    Having the same problem with my Dual 2ghz. It ran fine for about 3-4 days after the upgrade. Then I had the same experience as you. Came around the corner to hear fans and full speed and a kernel panic on the screen. I have tried several reboots, SMU reset, cleared out a bunch of Pref panels and tried to clean up anything that could be in conflict. Sometimes it would crash right away...other times after 15-20 min. I just tried reinstall of 10.5. Same problem afterwards. I am about to restore from a Superduper backup that I made before the upgrade. I guess I will run on 10.4 for a while. Verify that the hardware is all good and do the upgrade again.
    Any suggestions in the meantime are welcome.

    William,
    Please start a new topic thread. You'll get a wider audience, and not confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. There are numerous causes for kernel panics, and they need to be isolated one by one.

  • Mac Pro Kernel Panic while booted on install disk

    I have a Mac Pro with 1 year and 2 weeks on the clock. No Apple Care.
    Started getting intermittent Kernel Panics about 2 weeks ago, which are becoming a real problem now. Happening every time I use the machine.
    I’m running 10.6.4 and just have the original ram etc.
    Having searched here for related topics, I have been trying to troubleshoot the situation.
    Was looking at recent software installs or likely culprits...
    Ran the normal Apple Hardware Test and passed ok.
    Ran an extended test and got this error: "4HDD/11/40000004:SATA(4,0)
    Repaired all internal disks as far as possible, while started up on the installation disk, and when finished I got another Kernel Panic, while still running on the disk.
    Can someone confirm if this means the issue if definitely hardware rather than software?
    If so is it possible to tell which hard drive is at fault - ie. which Bay number corresponds to the SATA error above, if it is the hard drives at fault?
    Need to get this fixed asap, so if anyone has any thoughts on how I should best proceed, that would be really appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi experiencing simular issues
    Initially I thought the error was related to too many different things on the machine, but have since done a clean install to 10.6 with FCP and CS4 only and the and the errors continue.
    6 error-reporting banks referred to 6 of the ram chips, but i see that your report
    states 9, ( you don't have 9 ram slots do you?)
    Upgraded this of a volume disc so I don't have the hardware diagnostic for this machine on a disc, and would have to go back to the tiger hardware diagnostics which should not make a difference but I see on forums people claiming this is an error only with leopard and that their systems were fine under tiger. The ram has a life time warrantee (non apple) but I need to get it to fail a test other than this apple problem report.
    The machine crashes are not software specific, I was hand writing with just a browser open and it requested that I would have to restart the machine. If would be easier to test any solution I I know that combo would crash the machine other than time.
    I expect the next steps
    are to reseat the ram
    reset the p-ram
    Regards
    Colm

    Last software installed CS3 two days before problem started. Am about to zapp hard drive and reinstall leopard. (which installed fine by the way). I read about the panic logs but do not know what am looking at. Would appricate if someone can give a pointer to this particular Kernel Panic. I have not changed any hardware.

    You should report this to Apple while your 90 day free tech support period is still in effect for Leopard.

  • 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.
