Kernel panic with PCMCIA wireless cards.

UDEV throws a kernel panic when I insert either of two wireless PCMCIA wireless cards.
UDEV version 106 and the latest kernel 2.6.20. Both wireless cards worked just fine previously
so I'm sure it's a problem caused by upgrading.
Has anyone else experienced this problem with PCMCIA cards?
-A

Seems about rite but my system works foro some time and then at some random point freezes... guess it could be the same issue tho.
So its out of arch dev hands and needs a kernel update? Am i right to assume that next time kernel updates its the right time to try 20 series again?
Yeah im drunk, tried to check for typing tho ^^

Kernel Panic with Stripes

I've got a 3 year old 15" macbook pro that went into Kernel Panic with Stripes today. There was nothing plugged in except for a power supply. My wife said it was in sleep mode and then she opened it up and displayed the following screen.
/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
I've rebooted it a few times and the same thing keeps happening. I also plugged it into another machine and mounted it as a firewire drive and am currently copying all the files over to another drive.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Bad or incompatible RAM is the most common cause of KP's. It could just need to be reset……. to make sure there's a good connection.
But, in your case.....Video Card? Just guessing from the stripes. Pay heed to running the +Apple Hardware Test+ in the following link.
Here's a great site for Resolving Kernel Panics. Please do all the steps in order, even if you don't think you need to do a certain step.
Here's a great MacFixIt article.

Kernel panics with external mouse in clamshell mode

Have had more than 6 kernel panics; usually after waking; always in clamshell mode when using a Logitech wireless mouse (with or w/o software loaded) or Kensington USB trackball (with driver loaded but not worth using w/o driver). Does not happen with Apple USB mouse. Does not happen in laptop mode -- haven't tried laptop mode w/external mouse. Always on work Ethernet when in clamshell mode.
Has occurred w/OS 10.4.9 and 10.4.10. Have run extended Apple hardware test w/no results.
Have removed Logitech “LCC” file from user/library/application enhancers.
Have experienced panics w/a variety of apps open/active, including just Safari.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Here are panic logs:

I'm having the same problem as Beanfield. I'm using a MX620 Logitech Wireless Laser Mouse, and it produces several problems under Mac OS X 10.4.10. The micro receiver is plugged to the rear of my iMac Intel Dual Core and altough I've switched it to the USB ports of my Apple Keyboard it still happens.The Kernel Panics (with the Grey Screen of Death) happen mostly when the mouse awakes the computer. Very often, when right clicking or single clicking items, the menus appear and disappear. Dragging items becomes impossible and even after restarting the iMac the problem persists.
It also interfers with the keyboard: sometimes the cursor blinks when moving and when I press any key on the keyboard, it resumes its normal activity. Recently I've added 1 G of RAM, but I've excluded it from the problem since it worked normaly with my now defunt Mighty Mouse. Also, I bought a 500 G Lacie external drive that works very well.
I'm getting very frustrated since this problems began only a few weeks after my purchases, which took in account full compatibility with my system. All drivers are correctly installed so...what's happening?

Improve Download Speed with Mobile Wireless Card

I just purchased a GT MAX 3.6 Express LaptopConnect Card from AT&T to allow mobile internet access. While I can connect to the internet, the speed is very slow (I'm getting 3 of 7 bars). I understand there might be a Mac "booster" I can purchase. Has anyone heard of such a thing? Or, do you know how I can improve my download speeds with a wireless card? Thanks kindly for your help on this...

I received M Q today. To my surprise, there is no way to connect M Q to PB or any computer. I called Verizon and talked with their data connect department. They confirmed that M Q cannot be used as a modem The only device that will is Treo 700p. I am returning the unit by FedEx today. Treo is xpensive. So I will downgrade from MBP to PB G4 15" and use Verizon's Broadband Wireless PCMCIA card

Kernel panics with external Apple modem

This question has been raised before, but I'm revisiting it in hopes someone may have found a solution.
I'm getting frequent freezes and failures to awake from sleep, and a number of kernel panics that always implicate the faxmodem:
Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):
com.apple.driver.AppleSM56KUSBAudio(1.9.14)@0x6d364000->0x6d37efff

com.apple.iokit.IOUSBFamily(3.1.5)@0x602000->0x629fff
When the USB modem is not connected I do not get these KPs.
Apparently there is a firmware conflict between this old Apple modem (I bought it for another machine in 2006) and Intel-based duo-core machines. The Apple Store people tell me the newest Apple USB modems are the same, that is, they have not been updated.
Any ideas? Do I have to buy another fax modem? I just use it for faxes.
Thanks.

Frequent kernel panics with MPB 2.0 with 2GB RAM

I have been having frequent kernel panics with my MPB. I have 2GB of RAM that came pre-installed from the factory. This seems to happen most often when I am using external firewire drives. Has anyone out there had similar problems?

I've done the permission repairs. Also zapped the
PRAM. Ran the hardware test off the installer DVD
and it immediately came back with an error code
(4MEM/1/60000000:) and told me to contact Applecare.
I called Applecare and they were not very helpful.
The operator I spoke with had no idea what the
error code meant. He told me that RAM either works
or it doesn't. The PRAM zap was done at his
suggestion. Hasn't changed a thing. The kernel
panics have only grown more steady over the past
couple of weeks. More frustrating are frequent and
repeated application crashes (even simple stuff like
Safari, Mail, Address Book and Preview). Applecare
suggested I do a clean install of the OS. But it
sounds like a hardware issue to me. The app crashes
are occurring in different accounts on my MPB. I
don't want to spent a half-day reinstalling all of
my software only to have the issues continue. I'm
going to try to re-seat the RAM and then make an
appointment at the genius bar to have them take a
look at this. It had been running perfectly for the
first few weeks.
If you had an error code during the Hardware Test your MBP has a problem. The 4MEM/1/60000000: maybe linked to bad RAM or not seated correctly. If not seated correctly it will not boot, so it sounds like a bad RAM slot or memory stick.

Kernel Panic with AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement on Macbook Pro Retina 15

Hello,
I'm getting Kernel Panic with grey "Death Screen". This happends 5 times. On 5-th of January (3 times) and on 8-th (2 times).
All the cases according to Consol reports have similar symphtoms:
panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff802aeb7e75): Kernel trap at 0xffffff7face2557e, type 13=general protection, registers:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace:
com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement(196.0)[F79878E3-8CF9-3ACF-B578-2CE 754CA61F8]@0xffffff7face0e000->0xffffff7face36fff
This line (besides many others) is different in reports
BSD process name corresponding to current thread: WindowServer (2 times)
And other one quicklookd, WebProcess and Web Service.
I sent all reports to Apple Support as MAC OS asked me about. BTW I can publish them again here.
Firstly, may be it's possible to figure out the reason of panics: Is this the SW or HW problem?
Guys at service told me to bring Macbook AS IS. But if this is the SW problem I can clean / reinstall OS etc. myself.
And (after cleaning and/or reinstalling) if the problem is in HW I'll be getting panics again. So I can bring to service Macbook with new history of panics.
So what is the probability of HW problem in such a case. When all reports point to the same .kext file.
Thank You in advance.
Cheers,
Victor
P.S.: Computer is new, I didn't change configuration, OS etc.
Installed programs under question: m3tag (Tag Editor - recompiled by somebody from WIndows program with some similar to CrossOver env.)
Adobe FlashPlayer Plugin

Thanks for reply.
Exactly - MP3Tag Wineskin port. I also think that here is the reason. This port is up-to-date (10.8.2 compatible) but very inacurate - I found many garbage in MP3Tag package. And the original Windows program is very old - 1984(?).
I removed this program from computer and I have to get a try for some period of time.

Kernel Panics with 10.4.7.

So, did anyone else SUDDENLY get Kernel Panics with the 10.4.7?

Hi, Anapharya.
No kernel panics on my Macs after 10.4.7 Update.
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, including the "If all else fails..." section if a cause or resolution is not found in an earlier troubleshooting step therein.
Good luck!

Kernel panic with larch5.3 building CD!

Hi, could someone kindly help this.
I got the kernel panic with larch5.3 building CD. I didn't get any error messages during the creating. The error message of starting system is in belowing words.

Hi gradgrind, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have added aufs, eject packages. But it seems still cannot work. Sorry for many troubles.
One think. When I create the iso file, it gives a warning message.

Kernel Panics with Toast 8

I kept getting kernel panics with iDVD and Toast 7. I upgraded to the iLife '08 and Toast 8, did all the software updates, and firmware updates to the DVD burner, but I'm still getting kernel panics. The computer's a PowerMac G5 dual 2.0 GHz, 3 GB RAM, LaCie Lightscribe DVD dual-layer burner.
Any ideas?
TIA

all software is up to date.
iDVD 5 is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). While this article indicates that the application may simply quit, other issues could also appear.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306062
Again, no mention of kernel panics, but Roxio has yet to release an update to Toast 7 to make it compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). An update is planned for the future.

The text of the kernel panic itself may help some more knowledgeable people here to help determine what piece may be causing the trouble. Or if both crashes are related or separate. You can find the text of the panic in the Console utility.

[Solved] Communicating with nearby laptop with just wireless cards

Is there a way to communicate (e.g. exchange files) between a laptop with a wireless card and a nearby laptop that also has a wireless card, when there is no router nearby? Can two laptops with wireless cards communicate with each other without needing another device?

Please mark the thread as [solved] by editing your title. Our wiki is awesome, as you've already found (more awesome than asking questions on the forums at least ).

Problems with Broadcom wireless card after Kernel Upgrade

After upgrading to version 2.6.39 of the linux kernel, I am having trouble with my Broadcom BCM4312 wireless card. The broadcom-wl driver no longer seems to work, even after reinstalling it from the AUR. The b43 driver seems to be able to connect to unencrypted networks, but can no longer connect to my family's WPA Personal encrypted router. Is anybody else having a similar problem?

As I understand it my laptop has been fine and it uses broadcom-wl, and I just re-yaourt it each time my kernel version changes using a cable in my router. But I believe there is something called dkms and a version of the driver for it, which (I haven't read fully into it) is something like a separate tree, which can (from what little I've read) eliminate this need to recompile every time, however I literally read this 5 minutes ago, from the AUR page for broadcom-wl and a quick google so I wouldn't be surprised if there is more to it than that.

10.6.8. update causes Kernel Panic with AJA Kona video cards

There's also discussion for this topic in Creatice Cow:
http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/98/878627
I think Apple should be aware of this major issue also. I deeply hope either party finds solution for this. Cause it seems there's nothing you can do about it, except format your harddrive and reinstall old version of Snow Leopard.

This is basically what it says in the Kernel Panic:

Recommended PCMCIA wireless cards for Linux 2.4.20?

I am interested in any suggestions for Cisco (or other!) PCMCIA IEEE 802.11b wireless cards that are compatible with Linux 2.4.20, i.e., an upgrade of the Linux kernel is a last option!
The source files for the driver must also be available. It is preferable if the cards are IEEE 802.11g/n ready also, but this is not essential.
Thanks for any replies!

Good luck to you. While it's slowly getting better in the 2.6 kernel line..
I've always just used the win32 driver with the NDIS wrapper in Linux. While it's not my favorite option, it works.
As for driver sources, if you do find an open source wifi driver for a major chipset like Atheros, let us all know.. :)

MORE kernel panics with 10.4.5

ok so i posted that i had kernel panics after updating to 10.4.1 etc. and after i installed the newest security update to 10.4.5 the kernel panics stopped...for half a month. now all of a sudden as april hits my screen keeps having little mini freezes(the curser freezes..then moves again after like 5 seconds..then another few seconds later my screen works again. grr. well apparently i also had "graphics card" panics the past 2 days. now as i mentioned i updated the security update and it fixed the driver issues that were mentioned as a problem with nvidia geforce2 graphics cards. now NOTHING has been changed on my comp and the panics are listing graphics cards as the i had before(listed below)
now as i type this i have had like 5 freeze ups. i have tried running disk utility and fixed permissions. and after i restarted after kp my screen was ALL messed up and showing lines and much stuff itwouldnt show icons unless i moused over them but my desktop pic wasnt complete either

hey thanks for your words of wisdom i will work thru to the best of my ability. my post wasnt complete as i would have liked it as my comp was driving me beyond insane so i just posted and quit to "walk away lest i KILL the machine". so i will add to it now. had another kp same ostensible reason. however after i restarted this morning the machine has been acting normal. so at least that allows me to go thru and try some trouble shooting things.
i have tech tool pro 4.1.1 which i believe is the newest update or at least as new as needed for compatibility and such. i ran it with no reported issues. i also have disk warrior(latest update) and ran that with no reported issues(tho i have heard that the new tech tool is superior). i DO have an external drive(maxtor one touchII). which before a driver upgrade was a source of issue with my system. but that was resolved easily. THEN i updated to the newest system point updates(10.4.1-10.4.4) and had problems with KP again IMMEDIATELY. listing grapics card as problem. well as update 10.4.5 listed nvidia graphics card driver updates in its list of features i managed(with much trouble) to update. still issues till i installed the security update then everything was honkydorey for about 20 days or so then all of a sudden graphics card issues. i WAS wondering if driver support problems could have damaged the card?
also however i remembered that i hadnt updated the system on my external(which i primarily use for storage and backup but my father installed Tiger on) OH says I that is still using the system that conflicts with the graphics card i will upgrade that...well i cant seem to do so. when i try to install the newest updates(one at a time 10.4.1-10.4.5) onto that system it starts to check the configurations and then suddenly says the installation failed/had errors and to try again. i assume that the packages are ok as they are the ones i borrowed from my father (since i was unable to download myself due to graphics card driver issues) to update my main comp and that worked fine.
i have at this point disconnected my external drive(temporarrily) as i suspect this contributes to the problem(not sure yet) but i would like to fix the problem not just avoid it.
i wouldnt have any problem wiping the system off of my external and just using it as storage again but i am not sure how to safely do that without losing my other files (i have over 19thousand music files(all legally bought tunes) stored there from loading my cd collection onto my comp. and not enuf room on my main comp to store them of course) i wonder if perhaps creating a file OUTSIDE they system for the music files should keep them safe? also how do i UNINSTALL a system? i have never done such a thing. or is there a better solution to update the system on my external?
thank you in advance for any advice you may have for me. and again thanks for the advice listed in the previous posts...i will definitly delve further into that.
