Pcimxi module causing system panic

We have an UltraSparc Solaris 9 system which is panicing relatively often. The panic seems to be coming from a NULL pointer being dereferenced in the pcimxi module.

Sep 20 12:42:41 p02rfu01 unix: [ID 340138 kern.notice] BAD TRAP: type=31 rp=2a100045740 addr=8 mmu_fsr=0 occurred in module "pcimxi" due to a NULL pointer dereference
We are running version 2.0.0 of the NICpcimxi package. I don't see any newer versions or patches available. Has anybody else experienced this problem? If so, any suggestions. Thanks!

I've gotten some more info from our engineers regarding the problem as well. Evidently the system only panics when they are talking to the Spectrum Analyzer via PCI attached GPIB. You would think it is a GPIB problem, but the panic is from the pcimxi module. It doesn't always crash when connecting to the SA, however it can be frequent. The NIpcigpib software is 2.3, NICpcimxi is 2.0.0, and NICvisa is 3.1. The crash string is as follows:

Using 2 memory modules causes kernel panic

In early 2009 I upgraded my memory from 512 to 2 GB, 2 modules of 1GB each. This past January (just shy of 2 years later) I got a kernel panic. I tested running with a single module, and one module caused panic, the other was fine. Both slots function with the good module. So I got two new matched replacement chips from OWC, put them in and got kernel panics during the boot process. Yesterday I spent testing memory configurations and found this:
1. chip 1 alone runs fine and passes all Rember memory tests in slot 1.
2. chip 2 alone runs fine in slot 1 and 2, passes all memory tests in slot 2.
3. chips 1 and 2 together, in either slot, cause kernel panics before the OS is loaded.
Has anyone seen this problem? Will it go away if I use top of the line (Apple) memory chips?
When the kernel panics started back in January, an AppleCare advanced advisor said he had the same problem and he had to remove one module to stop the kernel panics. Running on 1GB doesn't work for me because I tend to max out the memory and programs like Mail, Safari, Photoshop, etc. become unreponsive all together.
thanks -

I have spent more time on the phone with OWC about this than I care to remember. Their latest request is that I use an eraser to clean the metal contacts on the chips; if that fails, I get to send the chips back. Whether I get a refund or yet another set of replacement chips, I don't know. They are not experts on Apple machines, that is clear.

Perl Script execution causes system panic

Hi All,
I'm using a Perl script of my own for work purpose.The script was running fine yesterday,until today morning I have updated the XCode to 4.6.2.
Everytime I execute the script,my computer turns off and resatarts with system panic.
Here are the error report content.

I can't currently use my script because of this and it is very crucial for me.
Anyone has any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance!

Etresoft, Yes you are correct I did post the same link. Sorry that I did not notice it. However, as Gajillion also noted in his post, it is a kernel timing/race condition bug and NOT a 3rd party extension bug and can only be fixed by Apple. There is nothing someone can practically do to workaround the issue.
My suggestion for everyone having this issue is to entering a case into Apple's bug tracking system, and every time you get the error also be sure that you allow the reporter app to send the info to Apple.
No one is having this issue. The only people who have reported it have extensive 3rd party software installations. I have never seen a Perl-induced kernel panic on my Mac and I do some really crazy things with Perl - SOAP servers routed through launcd with my own transport protocols. No panics.
You are free to send in any panic or bug reports to Apple, should they arise. But I am quite confident that anyone encoutering such a problem really can't be said to be running OS X anymore. Once you make that many modifications, it is some hybrid Linux-style monster. And yes, such things panic if you look at them the wrong way - just like Linux.

Slideshow module causes system to crash

Hi,
I have a strange problem with Lightroom on Win XP SP3. When using the Slideshow module, I can typically play the slideshow for a couple of shots and then the whole system crashes. Typically so that the screen just goes blank and the computer reboots. This occures in two different computers, and the only common thing in these are Windows XP SP3 and Matrox G550 (latest stable drivers). The error also occures with both LR 2.1 and 1.3. I haven't been able to reproduce this with any other applications on these computers.
Has anyone else seen this? Have you been able to fix it? The way the computer crashes would indicate that the problem is in a low level driver, but there must be something in Lightroom that trigggers this.
Regards,
Mike

Thanks for replying,
> Possible solution YES.
Well, not in my case. I can reproduce this reliably even if I render 1:1 previews for all photos right before going into Slideshow.
>Can you post a crash report from the control\admistrative tools\event viewer logs for that particular crash.
No. The system just dies and reboots. Nothig is written to the event log, nor are there any crashdumps generated. And this is the same on both computers.
> How much memory do you have?
4 GB on both. Tried both with and without the /3GB switch, same problem regardless of this setting.
(Btw, system one is Asus MB, Pentium 4 HT, Matrox G550 AGP, single DVI monitor. System 2 is Intel MB, Core 2 Duo, Matrox G550 on PCIe, double DVI+VGA monitors.)

PS Extended CS6 causing kernel panics

I've been getting one or two a week. Haven't figured out yet what triggers it, but it only happens in CS6. I did recently reinstall the entire OS, so that's clean. Here's the latest panic info the reboot generates to send to Apple. Doesn't mean anything to me, other than the panic notation near the top of the info tells you what it thinks happened.

Only OS bugs, driver bugs, or hardware problems can cause kernel panics.
Yes, that is normally the case. I brought this up here because while working in PS is the only time this happens. I know it doesn't make sense, but there it is.
Not sure why the crash report stated 10.8.0. It's incorrect on two counts. For one, I'm working in Snow Leopard, 10.6.8. I do have Mountain Lion installed on a separate drive for testing, but that already is at 10.8.2. Regardless, it's not the OS I was even in, so I don't know why it reported 10.8.0 as the kernel.
Anyway, I noticed (after posting this of course) that there was a 13.0.1 update for PS CS6. I applied that and we'll see how it goes from there as the update is noted as fixing a number of crashing problems.

System Panic Report

Off late, my system is hanging or freezing. During a forced restart (stop the computer with power button and restart it after 20-30 seconds) it gives the start up chime. It stops and user login screen. When I type my pass word, the screen goes black and it gives me a message like system panic. Before I could read the entire message, again the computer restarts and after user login, it either starts the computer or sometimes, again the same message appears and then starts the computer.
I have copied a system report message and posted here. Please help me to solve this issue.

Please help me. thanks in advance.

Hi, Tlix. Thanks for your perfect answer. Recently I bought Blackberry Z10 mobile phone and hence to connect with computer, I downloaded Blackberry Link. Since then, I could notice some peculiarities in the behaviour of my computer. Hanging, slow response and Blackberry Link quiting etc. Your answer confirmed my doubts and I totally un-installed that application. Since then, I didnt face any such issues. thanks. I didnt reply you immediately, since, I wanted to take time to confim that there are no such recurences of the past issues and panic reports.
Once again, Thanks to you and sorry for the time I took to post this.

Airport causing kernel panics and kp in safe boot.

Last week I got my first kernel panic in years. It happened while I was asleep and checking an extrenal drive for bad blocks with TechTool. It turns out that the drive indeed had bad blocks and found that the cpu was shut down when I awoke. I started up the computer and it wasn't able to stay on for more than 10 min max before the next kernel panic. I checked here for more advice on kernel panics and started to try to narrow the number of culprits. Everything was unplugged and still kp. Instaled a new drive with a week older system from Time Machine and still kp. Reset NVRAM and replaced pyhsical RAM and still kp. Removed the Airport Extreme card and still kp. Booted into Safe Mode after all of the previously mentioned and still kp. I'm now going to take the drive and swap it into another body that I have to see if the root is actually on the drive on the physical hardware of the cpu.
I was interested in this thread and read all of the links that jpl posted. Airport causing Kernel Panic (?) Jason then replied that it had been solved due to a "permissions problem" I wish he gave more info on what exactly he did to resolve the problem as it's been almost a week now without any work being done for me.
I've also noticed this very strange behavior that might shed some light onto the issue. When I open System Prefs and close the window there is a strange colored pattern that will always flash after the window has been closed. I tried to post it to my me page but for somereason it wouldn't play for me so there's that and the YouTube version too.

In addition when the computer has started up and the system loads. Checking Activity Monitor shows that there are 50 or more threads active for the the kernel_task. Inspecting this doesn't seem to show any useful information.
Finally here are a few of the recent crashes I hope that someone might be able to shed some light on this extremely frustrating problem for me.

My vision is pretty poor, still cant see it, but...
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Scanner Causing Kernel Panics

I have an old Agfa SnapScan 1212u USB scanner and up until today it has worked fine. Then suddenly it started causing Kernal Panics. It happens about 30% of the time. It scans the first 10% then throws up the Kernel Panic message and I'm forced to restart. I have run the Disk Repair Utility, repaired permissions, reinstalled the Agfa Scanwise driver, deleted all scanner related preferences and disconnected all other USB devices but nothing seems to work. The only software update I've done recently is the August and Java Security updates. Could either of these things be the problem? This is the first time I've had Kernel Panics on my Mac Mini. I doubt it's caused by the ram. It has worked flawlessly since I put in the 1GB module in July.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers

Well, I downloaded Vuescan and set it up but now I have another problem. Vuescan constantly crashes. Sometimes it crashes when I'm changing settings and sometimes is crashes after a scan. I set the memory settings very high so it shouldn't be a memory issue. I've tried just about everything to get this scanner working with Vuescan. I even installed a fresh copy of Panther on my Firewire drive but it only reduced the crashes not eliminate them. I'd like to get Vuescan working because it seems to make better scans than Scanwise did. At least it doesn't cause Kernel Panics. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm beginning to think that it might be a hardware problem with the scanner.

Firewire drives cause kernel panic on PPC, not Intel

I'm trying to get three firewire drives to work on a PowerMac G5. Before updating to 10.4.8, they worked individually, but not chained together. Now, if you connect any one of them, the system has a kernel panic. They would cause the panic on the earlier version of 10.4 when chained together. Everything works perfectly on a MacBook and a MacBook Pro, both running 10.4.8.
Below are the notes I took on the three drives as I was troubleshooting. All three are from Maxtor.
Drive 1:
300GB
EDA EB300G0160101
Has a filesystem, but Disk Utility claims there is no partition. It mounts on an Intel Mac, but causes a kernel panic on a G5.
Filesystem is Mac OS Standard
G5 System will panic while booting if the drive is connected and turned on.
G5 panics when trying to mount drive.
Drive 2:
200GB
EDA Ay200A0260101
Has a Mac OS Extended filesystem
G5 System will panic while booting if the drive is connected and turned on.
G5 Panics when trying to mount drive.
Drive 3:
300GB
EDA BA300D0080101
Has a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) filesystem.
G5 System will panic while booting if the drive is connected and turned on.
G5 panics when trying to mount drive.
Because of the change when 10.4.8 was installed, I suspect this is a driver problem. It could also be a controller problem that just happened to get worse when the update was done.
I ran the Apple Service Diagnostic on this machine and was unable to find anything wrong since I replaced both CPUs.
Any ideas?
PowerMac G5 dual 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If the drives were formatted on the Intel Mac then they will have a GUID partition map installed on the drive. PPC Macs will not understand the GUID partition scheme which may be the root cause of your problem. If you want to use the drives on both platforms they need to be re-partitioned using the APM partition scheme.
Also, you should not use Mac OS Standard. You should use Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

Solaris 7: system panic when kmem_flags is turned on

Hi,
The system running Solaris 7 panics caused by ip_ire_clookup_and_delete( ) in ip driver, when the kmem_flags (0xF) is enable. Does someone know which patch fixed the issue? Thanks.

System Panic messag

Earlier this morning I got a system panic message, which read in part 'panic (cpu1 caller 0x662820): "therad_invoke: preemption_level -1, possible cause: unlocking an unlocked mutex or spinlock"@sourcecache/xnu/xnu-i486.2.11.asfmk/kern/sched_prim.c:1471'. The message, which was followed by some lines with hexidecimal numbers was displayed in the upper left corner of my screen.
It would not respond to the keyboard or mouse, so I pressed the power button.
I have not taken any further steps to fix this (since, so far it's only happened once). I have not installed any new hardware since I got this Mac. The most recent software I installed was an update to 1Password (yesterday), and removed some software I didn't want (Running Applications) according to instructions from the manufacturer. Otherwise I have not installed any new software in at least a month.
Perhaps it is worth mentioning that a few days ago, my system was REALLY slow, so I restarted it. Usually I just put it to sleep when I am not using it, as I use it every day for at least six hours.
The problem is now that some of my system preferences don't appear to be working properly, such as the keyboard preferences. I'd set "Move focus to the menu bar" to F2 (no modifier key), but now F2 doesn't do this (nor does Fn+F2, Ctrl+F2, CtrlFnF2. Do I need to reset my PRAM, simply reset all my system preferences to default or what?

Rt3062 causing kernel panics

Hi all,
I've got an rt3062 chipset wireless card and it's been causing kernel panics ever since the upgrade to linux-3.0.
I was using the driver and firmware supplied by ralink and compiling it as the rt3562sta driver and it used to work great but it doesnt seem to support anything higher than kernel 2.6.39.
I'm not exactly sure which error logs to post, so...
Anybody else having this issue? and maybe find a workaround?
Thanks

I am using the same combination, successfully, with kernel 3.0.7-1. I do not recall having to do anything special to get it to work.
06:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. Device 3062
Subsystem: Ralink corp. Device 3062
Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19
Memory at fbdf0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]

We are having the issue on hundreds of systems and I am rolling out the readiness tool mentioned above to prevent other systems from being affected. In the mean time I have stopped deploying MS13-098 and am hoping Microsoft will go ahead and let all
of their customers know about the problem instead of just one country. Hopefully the original bulletin will be updated with this known issue.

PPoj,
Apple has offered replacement or pro-rated refunds in the US as a settlement of a class action lawsuit, not because of pride in their design-centric approach to their products. If you seek a similar replacement/refund program in India, then the odds are pretty good that you’d need a similar legal approach with which to convince Apple to offer a similar program there. If you’re unwilling to wait for such an event, then you can purchase a replacement power cable now, and hope for a pro-rated refund at some point in the future.

RAID mirror with software utility caused kernel panic every time

Using disc utility to make a mirror of 2 drives, click create and i get kernel panic and have to power off machine. if i try to start the machine with either of the two disks in it (together or individually) i get same kernel panic and have to power off.
The disks are in an external storage array (sonnet d500). I have a second storage array with raided disks in and i have raided disk inside the mac too. these all work fine..
originally 2 weeks ago i had the 2 disks working in a group of 4 disks set as a mirror of 2 striped disks. One disk in this setup failed and with this config you can never 'recover'or rebuild it - you get a degraded mirror and you can backup the data, but you must completely rebuild the raid again as the mirror of stripes never lets you add a new disk in again.period. not good.
I replaced the failed disk and rebuilt the mirror of stripes. this lasted a day until a second disk failed (all 4 were bought at same time so i was kind of expecting that to happen once one failed).
i replaced the second faulty hdd and thought about my disk usage and decided i would not make another mirror of stripes and i would make 2 mirrors instead for safe-ish storage and then transfer data to a striped raid set for editing from instead of direct from the mirror of stripes volume.
i tried to delete the raid but got a kernel panic
if i started the machine with any of the 4 disks i would get a kernel panic.
i moved the disks one by one into an older G5 running Tiger and managed to erase the raid info on 2 of them. The two new ones had some strange raid info and the Tiger machien thought there was an extra disk in the machine and would not erase or partition or allow me to destroy the raid whatever i tried.
I will be moving these now into an old XP PC to try to erase the boot records etc and erase them to be able to use them again in either mac pro or G5. painful..
so.. i ended up with 2 erased drives and have 2 new drives with dodgy raid info that causes kernel panics on the leopard machine and wont go in the Tiger machine.
The two erased drives are what ive now been trying to use in the mac pro to create a mirror - this now caused kernel panics when creating the mirror to start with and when installed in the machine at all. so i will be erasing them again in the tiger machine soon (its busy erasing with zeros another new disk that i added to the Tiger machine 2 weeks ago which seems to have some fault when raided!!! but thats another story).
so.. is anyone else having problems with creating basic mirror in 10.5.4 or is it just me??
i have a sonnet tempo e4p card with 2 external sata disk enclosures, latest firmware for the e4p card. all other previously existing raid volumes are working fine. i have one set of 2 striped disks, one set of 3 striped disks and one set of 2 stripes which are mirrored - all happy and working fine. but i cant make a new mirror of 2 disks...
I phoned Apple support and they said all raid info was kept on the disk itself and nothing on the actual machine and suggested i take the machine to an apple care centre for some tlc (although its disk i am having a problem with). since all my other disk arrays work fine i don't really want to rebuild the whole machine from scratch if i can avoid it.
Any suggestions of what i can try ??

well it turns out the new disk i bought just werent any good. my g5 powermac raid mirror issue was related to one new disk with lots of bad blocks (speed tools showed that up) so i have learnt my lesson on cheap non raid disks for raid..
am waiting on a couple of new ultrastar enterprise disks to tuen up so i can go back to the macpro and try to add a mirror again.
i am still stuck wih several new disks that i cannot format now in the macpro on leopard or on the g5 powermac with tiger.
ive tried softraid and that cant do it, speedtools pcformat util cant do it, disk utility crashes when i try to eras them and diskutil from termianl starts then doenst get anywhere and my pc sata card doesnt work so my last resort pc option still doesnt help me clear the partition map on these drives - ones that diskutility on leopard made for me - and drives which still cause kernel panics on the macpro if i put them in it..
here is what diskutil says on my g5:
/dev/disk0

2: Apple_RAID 465.4 GB disk0s2

disk0 is the one with the bad partition info.
it thinks it has a double raid as the console shows on startup:
(both store45 and cache it thinks are on this disk - cache was my old mirror of stripes set on other machine, store45 was new name for my mirror, so seems like it hadnt deleted the original raid partition info before making new info which now kernel panics)
Jul 18 18:48:05 localhost kernel[0]: AppleRAID::degradeSet - starting the set "STORE45" (B9C48619-6B2C-4547-A01E-4864754EA7E2).

so currently i have 2 new 500gb disks which cant be partitioned back to anything at all on either machine. looks like i will have to buy a new pc to reformat them..
any suggestions of how to clear the partition map info and get them back to freespace ??

ITunes Causing System Freezes

After playing a CD or listening to my music library for a while, I get random freezes; eg spinning beachball in iTunes. It happens when an album is finished or a playlist is finished and I go back to iTunes to eject or quit or play a new playlist. Freezes. When I try to click Apple (in order to click on Force Quit), it isn't available...the beachball rules. The only thing I can do with the cursor is click on Finder in the Dock; or the desktop area outside of open apps. Cmnd+Q doesn't work. Cmnd+esc doesn't work. CmndoptnQ doesn't work. Cmndoptnesc brings up the force quit dialogue. That leads to a "force finder to quit?" dialogue. A couple times I've had to resort to hard rebooting.
Suggestions would be appreciated; but another issue is the fact that this is causing system freezes and I was under the impression that the cool thing about OS X is that one app won't cause system freezes.
There's another similar thread titled 'it crashes', but system freezes aren't mentioned.
Any ideas?

Still doing it...but I give up on getting any help.
