Mac Mini Kernel Panic on startup

Hi everyone.
I am having a particularly annoying problem with a Mac Mini 4,1 (2010).
My problem is, in fact, almost identical to a similar discussion from last December:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2698431?threadID=2698431
I have followed an identical protocol. I couldn't boot the Mac Mini using either an OSX install DVD or USB stick, but I was able to mount the Mac Mini's internal hard drive as a firewire drive on my laptop.
Using this method I was able to zero out the hard drive and install OSX 10.6. My MBP would then boot just fine from the Mini's HDD using firewire. But when trying to start the Mini itself I encounter a kernel panic every time. Similarly I encounter a KP when I try and boot from an install DVD or USB, or try and boot into safe mode, verbose mode, single user mode and the hardware diagnostic mode.
I have tried with different RAM, I have reset the PRAM and I have resent the SMC.
Verbose mode crashes on a line referencing the AppleHDADriver, which I presume is an audio driver.
The only option I can see remaining is to take out various components, such as the airport card etc until I have something that starts up.
I would like to try and restore the firmware, but Apple apparently haven't released a firmware restoration CD for the Mac Mini 4,1...which is odd.
Anyway, any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Hi, I have a mac mini server (mid-2010 aluminium version). Recently I want to erase the HD and reinstall the osx server because I do like the way the system was set up. However, I cannot boot up the mac mini using the original install DVD. The computer just display the apple logo, followed by the spinning wheel with grey screen and nothing happens. I cannot get into the os installaion. I have tried the DVD using external FireWire and USB DVD writer, and also tried putting the DVD into my MacBook and do remote install osx but still have the same problem.
I suspect that the DVD that come with the computer may not be the correct build version for the aluminium mac mini because it has newer hardware components. I wonder how many people will have problem using the original install DVD ?

This is Rodney Watson. tch id(sc28f02f0b). Please contact me at********** I have no access to tsps. I have no contact information that successfully gets me feedback and I very much would love to get this machine back to its owner within two weeks if possible. I have a file of crash reports and other potentially useful data regarding this repair.
The initial issue with the system was that after a short time on a browser, the system would kernel panic, then the system would restart. I tried the quick fixes, resets, (updates are current for the user's volume) I tried a startup volume with a known good operating system, (OS X 10.8.3). I used known good ram, power supply, logic board, hard drive w fresh install of OS X 10.8.3. I still get the same behavior from thi sunit. It either boots to the desktop and crashes and restarts only to kernel panic and restart again, or it never gets to the desktop and repeatedly crashes/ restarts.

Hmmm, which exact Mini is it, a 2010 Mini should take 16 GB of RAM... but not just any RAM...

Mac Mini kernel panic pulled HD randomly unmounts in external enclosure

OK, I have a mac mini A1176 that I'd been through all of the tests and fixes on. It was having the ACPI kernel panic, I ran disk utility first aid, crashed, ran alsoft diskwarrior, crashed, ran memtest, hung, etc. I heard airport cards could be a problem so I disconnected, then removed, the card, to no avail. it got worse, to the point where I couldn't even startup from a DVD. It would mount in Target Disk Mode but I couldn't copy files from the drive.
So I got a SATA external case, with a simple slide and plug USB setup, and pulled the drive to try and save the memory. drive came out fine, plugged in fine, powered up when I plugged it into my MBP, and mounted. then five seconds later, it unmounted, with a Device Removed Incorrectly or whatever error. Then seconds later, it mounted again, and then did the same unmount trick. just continuously.
I have no idea where to go from here. I'm about ready to just toss the whole thing.

Clearly you have a bad hard drive. Time to replace it.

Mac Mini kernel panic during sleep

Hi,
I have a late 2012 MAC MINI that i bought around 3 months ago. Usually my Mac mini is left to sleep/hibernate during the night instead of being shut down. Today morning when i woke up the mini, i saw that a kernel panic had occured.

Does this mean i have to get my Logic Board changed due to malfunction, or is there some other problem? Please assist...
Thanks in advance

No. In fact I wouldn't even worry about it unless this becomes a continuous problem. No software on Earth is perfect. There are, however, some tips you might want to consider:
Some of the backtrace appears that you're running VMWare, and quite honestly I don't know what types of bugs might be present in it.
If you're using a third party drive with third party add-ons and drivers, they can sometimes be problematic.
I know Seagate had software that was problematic with Mountain Lion and they're supposedly putting out updates to fix the problems (might already be done for all I know).
A single crash isn't a big deal. If it's crashing periodically, the it's a problem.

Mac Mini Kernel Panic?

Well. Its the Mac OS X Tiger.
Apple sent me the DVD to reinstall it a few weeks ago to get the Kernel Panic off and I'm not sure of how to go through getting this off? I've looked it up on many forums on different sites and it hasn't really helped me. So, how do I go about doing this?
(Mac noob. Sorry)

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.
Message was edited by: e. jones

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.

Mini kernel panic after repairing disk permissions

Repaired disk permissions per others' advice on here and other forums because my mini was running unacceptably slow. This didn't cure the problem so I used the tech tools disk that came with apple care- now, I get a kernel panic upon startup. I'm asked to restart the computer, I do it- and then I'm asked again!
I called apple and they were defensive and rude. Frankly they didn't seem to care about whether or not I'd have to wipe my hard drive. Needless to say this is not something I want to do.
It seems important to mention that I had an external hard drive connected to my computer- would this matter?
Would repairing disk permissions CAUSE problems with my computer?
When the disk repair program ran it said that there was a volume error- it fixed this error and then told me that the volume was error free.
What can I do? I'm so frustrated! I love my computer and I really don't want to wipe the hard drive!

We have all been there and we have all done the same thing, so you are part of the club.
Apple uses a three number versioning system so you are almost there, but not quite.
MacOS officially does not exist anymore. However, it wouldn't go over well with the then user base to call their next operating system for their computers NeXTstep as they felt the entire identy of a Mac was its OS or more specifically its look and feel.
So they called it Mac OS 10 instead, opting for the roman numeral X.
Mac OS X is pronounced Mac OS Ten, or simply OS Ten
Now that 10 is out of the way.
The second numeric position represents significant
pause
um yeah, some might argue with Tiger not as much so but significant changes to the OS.
10.4
There.. Each significant change was associate with a moniker representing a cat. 10.4 is associated with the Tiger, 10.3 with the Panther, 10.2 with the Jaguar, etc.
So Tiger is Mac OS 10.4 or simply OS Ten dot Four
Within each release is a bugfix release which also may contain usability enhancements and security patches.
10.4.0 - the initial product release, also called a `Dot-Oh` release
10.4.1 - the first round of bugfixes
10.4.2 - the second round of bugfixes
This continues on sequentially until theoretically the bugs are all fixed in the product but in reality means until the next significant release comes out; Leopard, OS 10.5.
You should always be prepared for the possibility that a bugfix release may contain a security patch that significantly modifies and aspect of the file system that may break a disk utility application. In other words you always have to be vigilant with regards to that class of application.

QUadcore Mac pro kernel panic.

I have a Mac Pro tower. Quad core. 8Gb RAM. Have Leopard installed. Get a kernel panic on startup. Tried checking RAM, HD problems, rest PRAM, startup using x, or option or spacebar......nothing. Always get kernel panic immediately. Cannot boot up with external boot disk.
Help???.
Luke

Try starting up using Shift, which does a minor Disk Repair and then boots up with minimal extensions.
If no success there, boot from the Installer/Utilities DVD, but do not Install. Answer only the "What Language" question and wait a moment for the MenuBar to be drawn. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu and select your Hard Drive, look at its status, then REPAIR.
"A Mac that cannot boot from an appropriate Installer/Utilities DVD has a Hardware problem."

Mac Pro kernel panic, RAM does not seem to be problem

My Mac Pro (late 2006) now has kernel panics at startup. Problem first happened while computer was in sleep mode, a second kernel panic happened about 10-15 minutes after reboot the first time. Now it happens at startup every time. Zapped PRAM multiple times to no effect. Tested original 10.4 install disk, as well as 10.5 and 10.6 upgrade disks with all external connections removed and from a cold boot. The 10.4 disk causes the kernel panic every time. The 10.5 and 10.6 disks do too, if the C or D key is depressed. The upgrade disks will hang in a gray screen (10.6) or pale blue screen (10.5) with no keys depressed--computer keeps running but fails to boot. Also tested the RAM (4 X 512 MB) in different combinations of one pair in the top riser board (and switched risers, and removed lower board completely). All resulted in kernel panics. Next option?

To anyone finding this thread in the future looking for help on a similar problem, the CNet forums Mac section gave me the correct advise: replace the video card. The stock GeForce 7300 was causing the kernel panics. I replaced it with a Radeon HD 3870, from eBay, and everything went back to normal operation. (I did also have to upgrade my OS for the new card to work properly.)

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.

I have verified and repaired disk permissions and the disk itself. This behavior occurs consistently with or without external devices connected.
I can work in my applications ok and everything appears to function as expected once I get the PowerBookG4 booted, but I am concerned about how long it may continue to function - got a lot to do!
Advice? very appreciated thank you! -ben

Understanding crash logs isn’t easy and it’s hard (sometimes impossible) to decipher the cause of the problem. Take a look at Apple’s Crash Reporter document at http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2004/tn2123.html
Also look at Tutorial: An introduction to reading Mac OS X crash reports
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060309075929717
Kernel panics are usually caused by a hardware problem – frequently RAM, a USB device or a Firewire device. Since you've disconnected external devices, USB & Firewire don't appear to be a problem. Are you using an external mouse?
Have you added RAM recently? To eliminate RAM being the problem, Look at this link: *Testing RAM* @ http://guides.macrumors.com/Testing_RAM Then download & use Memtest & Ramber.
Do you have an Apple Hardware Test disc? Running the Apple Hardware Test in Loop Mode is an excellent troubleshooting step for finding intermittent hardware problems. It is especially useful when troubleshooting intermittent kernel panics. If Loop Mode is supported by the version of the Apple Hardware Test you are using, you run the Extended Test in Loop Mode by pressing Control-L before starting the test. Looping On should appear in the right window. Then click the Extended Test button.The test will run continuously until a problem is found. If a problem is found, the test will cease to loop, indicating the problem it found. If the test fails, be sure to write down the exact message associated with the failure.In some cases, RAM problems did not show up until nearly 40 loops, so give it a good run.
Look at 12-Step Program to Isolate Freezes and/or Kernel Panics

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

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?
