Kernel Panics - but weird ones...

Hi,
Bought a brand new iBook g4 (running tiger) end of June. To be honest it's been weird from the start - despite having twice the amount of RAM it is much slower than my old one, and it tends to struggle with having more than a couple of programs open - something i'm not accustomed to with a mac!
Anyway, it's started with the kernel panics - had about 5 before i gave up with the thing. What was weird was that the message screen didn't come up properly - you got the first line about needing to turn off computer then the rest of the box is all disrupted, like the monitor has broken down within the confines of the box. Then it takes a few tries before computer will start again without freezing.
Tried talking to apple support on phone, no offence but they weren't helpful - guy tried to blame it on my startup items(??) which extend to Mail and iTunes. Again, with old ibook i had loads of startups with no probs. And it wasn't when starting up the kernel panics happened anyway.
So i decide to figure it out myself, and run the apple hardware test from cd. No failures first time, but i know for intermittent ram errors etc you need to loop it. Computer then crashes (just freezes, no message) every second or third time i run the test.
Will try and check the panic log when I get home for code... though prospects of getting computer to start up and work for that long depress me...
Anything I should do / check before taking it into apple store regent street? Am really depressed as my old ibook was worry free (until it got dropped and broken) and the replacement, despite being higher spec, is just not givin me that mac lurve...

Have a look at Dr Smoke's website for troubleshooting tips.

  • Kernel panics but no panic log

    Hi all,
    Have been getting what appear to be random kernel panics, but am having trouble diagnosing because my Beige is generating no panic logs at all.
    Panics occur sometimes at startup, very early in boot process (grey screen with spinning wheel, before the blue Mac screen), sometimes in the middle of a work session, sometimes not at all for a day or two. Do not seem to be related to connection of external FW drives.
    Have done most of the diagnostic stuff -- checking cables, dust bunnies, restting CUDA, reset NVRAM, disconnecting SCSI scanners, serial modem, USB hub, starting with a fresh user account, etc.
    Mostly, would like to know why I'm not getting panic logs, because maybe this indicates the root of the problem?
    Thanks,
    Tina

    Thanks, Tom,
    I hadn't thought about that. Just assumed that XPostFacto, by enabling Panther, would enable all of Panther. All the other logs are generated just fine. I'll check back at my usual place on the Beige forums and see if others get panic logs or not.
    That particular Beige Mac of mine is at its busiest work period of the year, so removing/testing RAM will have to wait until after the holidays. But running DIM First Aid shows no problem. Guess I'll go ahead and run TTP4's RAM tests.
    I'm also wondering if perhaps a failing PRAM battery might be causing these hiccups, but the symptoms aren't usually kernel panics.
    Thanks for the suggestions,
    Tina

  • Kernel panic but software problem

    Kernel panic (the "You have to restart your computer" message at startup) is said to come from hardware problems but this seems to be a software problem - maybe somebody can help me!
    It started slowly with the fans coming on more often than ususally. Then, I had some kernel panics at startup, usually after two or three false stars, the system would load. Hardware Test said everything was OK, Disc Utility corrected a few permission errors, but the problem persisted. I tried everything: Disconnecting everything, removing PCI card, you name it, nothing helped.
    Only thing that did help was start over. "Archive and install" was not good enough, I had to start from zero. Which means that all my iTunes library and all the rest waas lost. Made a disc image on an external HD and went for it.
    After that, I upgraded to 10.4.11 and tried the migration assistant. Left some of the programs out from the old installation, but took my Documents folder with me. Imported my iTunes library and iPhoto pictures. Until then, everything was perfect. After that point, the fan started its strange behavior again, and today guess what: You have to restart your c.!
    So it must have to do with the programs and data that I imported, and not hardware. Have no idea though - anyone run into similar problems?
    Apart from standard apps, the only thing I use is Cubase but I haven´t touched it for a long time.

    Hi, thanks for your reply! I am now trying to rebuild everything using 10.4.7 ... seems the driver for the audio card (m-audio) was at least causing problems. I´ll see if it was the only one. I did the system updates whenever they popped up in software update but there wasn´t even a driver available for 10.4.11.
    If that´s not it, I´ll try to use your tips! Thank you!

  • Kernel panics, other weirdness.

    I think my early 2008 Mac Pro may be on its last legs. I've had a couple of kernel panics in the last few days for no obvious reason. Today I booted it up and got a kernel panic immediately. Rebooted in Safe Mode and it worked fine. Rebooted from the install CD and tried Repair Disk, which told me the boot drive is OK. I disconnected my TIme Machine external drive and tried to restart (from my boot drive) and this time the screen just went dark and the power light started flashing. Any ideas? I have no other peripherals connected aside from the basic ones. I know Disk Utility doesn't detect every problem, but it feels like a hardware issue to me, especially since the Mac refused to restart even before any software had loaded.

    Thanks. I appreciate any help you can give me. I was starting up from another drive and it worked fine for a couple of days, but now the problem is back, computer is rebooting every few minutes.

  • Kernel panics but no panic.log file?

    I recently started getting kernel panics. In my research online to find out more, I realized that I do not have the /Library/Logs/panic.log file(s) that everyone speaks of. I followed along the Resolving Kernel Panic FAQ where it mentions at the bottom three reasons why the panic.log file may not be written. The first reason does not apply since my KP does not happen at bootup. The third reason is probably not the case since I've had a 10:1 decrease in KPs since replacing my RAM. However, the second reason, "If remote debugging has been enabled via the debug parameter in boot-args, automatic panic logging is disabled." may be the culprit, but the page the link is to does not exist. I end up at an Apple page listing all of the available MAN pages.
    What is the debug parameter and where do I find boot-args to inspect?
    Using memtest, I did find that both of my 1GB sticks of RAM were bad and have switched back to the original 512MB stick that tests out as ok. (yes I tested both the bad and good RAM in both slots) I have only had one kernel panic since switching 4 days ago whereas before I had about 10 per day.
    17" PBG4 1.67Ghz/2GB/100GB-7200   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   iSight

    Well, the majority of KPs result from hardware problems. Memtest tests the RAM. The Apple Hardware Test examines it and other hardware items. If you can't isolate the problem, you'll continue to get them. I've only had two on my six-year old machine and both were from bad RAM. Those had lifetime warranties with a local vendor, so replacing them was a simple matter. You can live with it or fix it. Your choice.

  • Time Machine Kernel Panics, but not in safe mode - what should I look for

    Hi,
    Time machine Crashes (Kernel panic) when Run normally.
    When I boot in Safe mode, it runs fine.
    Is there a list of programs known to cause issues with Time Machine?
    If not where should I look?
    I assume my ID's "Login Items" - but is there anywhere else to look?
    Here's a list of what I have on my machine that I suspect gets bypassed with safemode:
    VMWare Fusion Helper
    Dropbox
    Clusters Helper
    GrowlHelperApp
    gfxCardStatus
    Cinch
    Sizeup
    whichdaemon
    Xmarks for Safari
    LMILaunchAgentFixer
    itunesHelper
    ThingsHelper
    In addition to the above 'Login Items' I also have Mozy home backup installed, Logmein, and istat menus.

    Well as luck would have it, we can rule out istat menu as well...
    After uninstalling istat menus,
    It crashed around the 180GB mark.
    here is the latest crash dump:

  • How can I reformat my hard drive if erase and partition don't work in disk utility and I get an error when I try to erase and install from the Leopard install disk?  I have had several kernel panics, but the volume shows up in startup disk.

    I have had several kernel panics on my iBook G4; the panic message shows up just after the desktop appears. Although the startup volume shows up in Startup Disk, the installation disk reports an error when I attempt an erase and install. Disk utility is unable either to erase or partition the hard drive. The hard drive shows up in disk utility, but the startup volume doesn’t  HELP!!!

    Do you have the original system discs that came with the iBook when it was new?
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Erasing the disc and installing Mac OS X 10.5 will result in loss of the other applications (such as the iLife applications) which came pre-installed on the iBook.

  • *IMPORTANT* I've just got my another kernel panic after the one yesterday

    Hi anyone ..... do u guys now what do these codes mean ...i got it from panic.log of my 2Ghz Macbook which indicates the kernel panic i've had ...if someone knows about it please tell me what's wrong with my macbook

    Thank You so much for helping me out

    Well, this isn't really an AppleScript problem, but it looks like you might have a problem with the AirPort hardware in the laptop or the driver for it might be corrupted.
    If I were you, I'd probably reinstall the OS (using "Archive and Install" option or BACKUP everything and do a clean install). If that doesn't solve it, I'd take it in to the Apple Store or some other authorized Apple repair joint to get it fixed.

  • 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.

  • Weird one shot deal kernel panic

    hi,
    weirdly, I got a kernel panic while downloading iOs 4.2 in iTunes earlier tonight. The computer log file shows what is down below. Does anyone know what the exact problem was. I shut it down and reopened it without any new kernel panic but that's weird.

  • Kernel panic - I know, but Why???

    Ok, this is very weird.
    My brother has a perfectly functioning 15" Powerbook G4. He had a CD that would not open automatically AT ALL, yet would open on a PC.
    So I had a bright idea (not fully knowing the inner workings or consequences) to restart the computer with the CD in, holding down the "C" key, as you would if you were booting up with your installation disc.
    Now we have that classic gray screen coming up saying "You must restart your computer" in English, French, German, and Japanese. I've read that it is a kernel panic, but can anyone tell me what did I do to cause it?
    The kernel panic cleanup page did not work, and I'm currently in the process of erasing the hard drive and installing from scratch (backed up his data first).
    Thank you so much for your time!

    Thank you Shilo, and thanks all who read and were severely puzzled.
    I must apologize.
    I skipped the very first thing I should have done. A few months ago I ordered 3 - 1GB RAM chips from OMNI that caused our computers to act weird (my brother and I have the same computer). We each got 1G, and the other one was for another friend w/ a Powerbook. We took the RAM out and just used the factory chips, and I never gave my friend the other one. I took for granted that my brother had his Apple RAM installed and found out this morning that he had TWO of the OMNI chips installed, of course causing the kernel panic. We took them out, now everything works fine. <Sheepish grin>

  • Nvidia TV-out gives kernel panic

    Hello fellow Archers,
    I am using Arch for years now and encountered a very weird problem. My multimedia machine has a new videocard, an Nvidia 6200 A-LE. With this card, I am unable to use the TV-out. By default, it sets NTSC as where my TV needs PAL-B. I took the xorg.conf which worked with my previous nvidia videocard.
    The problem is, when I set this option in xorg.conf:
    option "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
    my system freezes when starting X. The flasing keyboard lights indicate a kernel panic, but when I do a hard reboot, nothing useful has been stored in either /var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/messages, as suggested in other topics. When I uncomment this option, X starts up just fine (it only gives me a black and white screen due to the default NTSC). The annoying thing is that this configuration worked just fine with my old GeForce 4 card.
    Does anyone know what what is causing this issue or how to find it?
    Thanks!

    What video driver are you using?  nVidia proprietary?  Nouveau?  These are the only two that support TV-out I believe, so try the other one.  And file an upstream bug report for the one you're using.
    Also, to tell if you've really had a kernel panic, it might make sense to enable the magic sysrq key in /etc/sysctl.conf, and try Alt+SysRq+{R,E,I,S,U,B} to safely reboot your computer.

  • G5 "Q87" Dual 2.7GHz - Persistent Kernel Panic

    Hello All,
    I have a Power Mac G5 (trusty old pro audio box) which has been experiencing regular Kernel Panics (grey screen of death) for the past month or so.
    I'm wondering if it might be the Logic Board or something having to do in particular with either the SATA or memory areas which might be having the trouble.
    My G5's specs and latest Kernel Panic report are as follows:
    Power Mac G5 Dual 2.7 GHz "Q87 970fx" model | 8GB | 1TB HD | 10.4.11
    RME 9632 PCI based audio interface. (connected to Lexicon PCM 80 via S/PDIF which coincides with the Kernel Panics but may be a coincidence?)
    The Kernel Panic mainly happens whenever I save a large group of samples in Native Instruments Kontakt 3.5 or when playing back large (usually orchestral) multi-instrument sample presets in Wave Editor or other audio editing programs. Crashes also occur whenever large audio files (300MB+) are loaded or are being edited/converted.
    Can anyone decipher the meaning of the Kernel Panic report? I would very much appreciate it. Thank you.

    Thanks to all for the replies.
    I ran Rember and there were some test failures. It doesn't look like the program is able to tell me which DIMM is bad so I'll probably have to go by process of elimination, right?
    I'm still hoping to find Apple Hardware Test and/or Apple Service Diagnostic for this particular machine and I'll try other memory test programs as well. For anyone who's interested, here are the results of the memory test by Rember. Perhaps someone could tell by looking which DIMM it might be?

  • Repeated kernel panic on iMac late 2009

    Dear all,
    A couple of weeks ago, my iMac 27" late 2009 started repeatedly crashing with a kernel panic.
    Thinking this might be hard-drive related, I brought my iMac for repair under the hard drive replacement programme. Which means I have a virtually empty hard drive with only Mountain Lion 10.8.2 installed and a couple of third-party software packages, the only one installing extensions being (AFAIK) TechTool Pro, DropBox and perhaps Chrome.
    Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem.
    I then tested the RAM with TechTool Pro, which didn't find any issue. I also tried and removing all RAM modules but one and progressively adding all the other modules back in, but could not figure out whether one of the modules was faulty: the Mac worked fine for at least 20 minutes after each restart, at which point I added another module. Once all the modules were added back and after an hour of use, though, kernel panics reappeared.
    I then thought about a temperature problem. Indeed, I have just moved to Singapore, where temperature and humidity is quite high all year long. Below is what is reported by Temperature Monitor - from what I have read elsewhere, this does not seem outside of the ordinary:
    * Ambient air: 30°C
    * CPU A Heatseak: 44°C
    * CPU Core 1: 47°C
    * CPU Core 2: 40°C
    * Display Screen Proximity: 39°C
    * Graphics Processor Heatsink 1: 54°C
    * Graphic Processor Temperature D: 54°C
    * Main Logic Board: 56°C
    * Northbridge Heat Sink: 69°C
    Kernel packages are quite hard to reproduce: they can come in very close succession and then the Mac can work fine for a few hours... For instance, I've just restarted from a series of 3 kernel panics but can now safely post this message.
    Any idea what this could be related to?
    I've copied below the error log - maybe you can find some useful information in it:

    You don't have any extensions that can break OS X and your log indicates a graphic crash, so it looks like the graphic card is damaged. Take the Mac to an Apple Store.
    If the problem started after the hard drive replacement and Apple determintes that this problem was caused during the replacement, the graphic card replacement will be free because you have a 90-day warranty after the hard drive replacement

  • Kernel Panic Mac Pro now dead!!!

    Big problem here:
    Kernel Panic - but system totally locked out of any key combination apart from Hardware test on Install Disk 1 (OS X 10.4). Hardware test (loop running 12 hours) finds NO problems.
    Have swapped out RAM, swapped out HDD, tried to boot using install (shift key gives me the bootable options) but Kernel Panic at every attempt.
    Nothing has been loaded extra, and even running with new HDD and RAM teh system still locks out in Kernel Panic.
    Before sending this back to shop - any ideas out there??
    Help would be massively appreciated guys - been using a Mac since 1988 - first time I've been stumped!!!!
    Mac Pro Quad 3Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   also have Powerbook 12 "

    Hi Frank
    thanks for the response - I will get onto the right forum as suggested for teh MacPro! Must have been finger trouble!
    I have swapped out the RAM and the HDD - so I am left with Kernel code and PRAM (which has been zapped).
    I will be buying my first diagnostices Apple software later today (Techtool Pro) and using a Firewire lead to remove all my files from the MacPro.
    18 years of trouble free computing - using everything from a Mac Classic through all models (incliding a G5 - just sold) and never a problem I couldn't fix within twenty minutes.
    Intel has a LOT to answer for and I am now considering a move away from Apple.
    cheers
    Frank
    i hate to tell you that this part of the forum is for
    the Macbook pro , not the Mac Pro
    this here is the Mac Pro part of the forum

    your problem could be from a bunch of things, you
    went threw most of the process of elimination tho
    and you haven't found a fix, my sudjestion would be
    to take it to apple and have them repair or or
    replace it. cause what ever that is its not sounding
    good.
    so you removed all but one stick of ram and tried it
    and if that fails take the other one out and put
    another one back and test them all to see if they do
    the same thing. also i have seen HDD's going bad
    cause KP's is your firmware up to date
