Powerbook G4 1Ghz,OSX 10.5.8 - Kernel Panic when downloading in Safari

Revisiting this, as original discussion (August 2010) was archived.
Original problem was kernel panics particularly when downloading in Safari. Various people had similar issues, and crash logs appeared to indicate Airport Card/Driver as issue - one respondent suggested replacing Airport Card.
Having left this for a few months, and reverted to Tiger, I decided to give it one last try - purchased a second-hand A1027 Airport Extreme Card on Ebay, installed it (thanks iFfixit!), tested functionality (still in Tiger), then installed Leopard (new, fresh install from retail disk). Software Updated to 10.5.8 (via Ethernet for speed).
Have been up and running in 10.5.8 for 4 days now - and all running beautifully. iLife 09 installed fine (no iMovie 09 though - failed min-spec).
Have "thrashed" my 17" Powerbook constantly - this morning tried downloading combo update 10.5.8 - 759 MB - downloaded, verified and mounted fine.
Leopard runs superbly - not incredibly fast, but appears to be at least as quick as Tiger - one definite improvement is the Airport speed, and strength of signal.
Whilst I can't categorically state the the "new" Airport Card is the solution, it is the only thing changed in my configuration. Although the card itself appears identical to the one it replaced, I think this may have done the trick.
Will continue to monitor, and post if any issues arise.
17" Powerbook now good for a few more years yet!

Kernel panic when waking PowerBook from sleep on a new network

I occasionally take my PowerBook from home to work, and lately there have been several instances of my PB having a kernel panic when I plug in the ethernet cable and wake it from sleep. I have not tested this extensively, but it seems to occur under the following conditions:
1. PB is disconnected from network location 1, and the lid is closed so that it goes to sleep.
2. PB is moved to network location 2, the ethernet cable at that location is plugged in, and then the computer lid is opened, causing the computer to awake from sleep.
3. The computer has a kernel panic immediately on awaking.
I believe, but am not absolutely positive, that this does not occur if I awake the computer first, and then plug in the ethernet cable. Unfortunately that order of doing things is counter-intuitive to me, as I tend to want to plug everything in before waking the computer up.
Possibly a factor: At my home location I have a manually assigned IP address and other location-specific settings, whereas at work I change the network settings to fully automatic once the computer starts up.

Hello DistantThunder
In most cases kernel panics are a result of a hardware error on some cases a software error.
I would suggest you look at an excellent procedure for resolving these issues on Dr Smoke's website.

PowerBook wake on Sleep-then kernel panic when re-mounting External Drives

Hey all, I found a peculiar behavior with my PowerBook and my Lacie External Hard Drive. If I wake up my PowerBook from sleep, either by shaking the mouse, or opening the lid- the computer sometimes kernel panics when it attempts to re-recognize my partitioned 250 gig external hard drive. This seems to happen 1 out of every 5 times. The external is already mounted that I can tell upon waking; its just that it seems like it panics when it tries to recognize it again. Any one else experienced this? I've had this problem since I've had my external drive, and that probably dates back to 10.4.2. Thanks!

Hi, Zach.
You might want to try a different FireWire cable, a different FireWire port on your Mac (if available), or contact LaCie, the latter as the enclosure may be malfunctioning. Another potential problem area, although this also usually shows up as spontaneous dismounts of the FireWire drive, is the FireWire drive's power supply, i.e. its power brick, but that seems less likely here.
While it certainly seems like you've isolated the cause to the FireWire drive, you may also want to review 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. The FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work systematically through the end, i.e. the "If all else fails..." section.
Good luck!

Kernel Panic when I try to install OSX 10.3. Can anyone help?

I bought this iMac recently. It has OS 10.2.? installed and OS 9.1. When I try to install OS 10.3 I get a Kernel Panic when it reboots to start the installation. I ran the Norton Disk Doctor it had over in OS9 -- said it fixed some things and now ok but I still get a Kernel Panic trying to install Panther. I just want to re-format the whole computer with 10.3 and get rid of 9. How can I do that?
Thanks.

KeepItSimple:
If you're getting a kernel panic when trying to install, then I'd start with RAM and the installation disks.
RAM: Panther has higher standards for RAM than does 10.2.x; if you have more than one RAM module, take one out (assuming that leaves you with at least 128 MB) and try again. If it panics again, try switching the RAM. As far a brand names go, I prefere Kingston or Azen RAM.
Installation Disks: if they're grey, they won't work. Grey installation disks are packaged with specific Macs, and only contain hardware drivers for that specific Mac. You need the retail version of the disks, which were sold in a black box. There are four CDs in the set, three of which are for installing the OS (the fourth contains Developer Tools). The three OS disks are black with a large silver X in the middle.
Good luck!

What is wrong with my user account?? Why do I get kernel panic when restart

Hi there. I got Leopard and was quite unhappy (don't think it was meant for a powerbook). So I started using Tiger again, and I flip flopped once or twice after the update came out for Leopard, thinking/hoping it would fix my problems. It didn't. I have given up on Leopard.
But, now Tiger seems to have a few problems of its own. I get the kernel panic when I restart my computer (telling me to restart), so I have to hold down the power button to turn it off and then turn it back on. Not a big deal, but if it shouldn't be doing that, I don't want it to, ya know? Never did it before Leopard.
My user account seems to be dysfunctional when it comes to downloading plug-ins for safari or firefox. I had to create a new user account and download the plug in from that account and then drag it into the HD to use it on my user account. I repaired disk permissions and booted from Tiger and did the same thing on there. After that, my user account is still not able to download that plug-in without getting errors (256)?
Is there a way to do a reinstall of Tiger from a blank slate, and be sure there won't be any problems?
Thanks!

Leopard will work with your Powerbook, the question is, is all your software and hardware ready for it?
Is there a way to do a reinstall of Tiger from a blank slate, and be sure there won't be any problems?
You can start from a blank slate, but if you have a hardware problem that started to generate itself, a blank slate won't solve it. It is called an erase and install. The first thing to do is backup your data*:

Once that is done at least twice, we can start looking at solutions for kernel panics*:

MBP Kernel Panic when connecting to HDTV (DVI)

I have a 15" MacBook Pro that has been working perfectly since I got it. I tried today to connect it to my Hitachi 51" HDTV (via DVI) and got an instant Kernel Panic. I used my 15" Powerbook with this HDTV without any issues.
I've searched and found folks with kernel panics when waking their MBP if the RAM is faulty, but nothing at all about issues when connecting an external display. I am running with all the latest updates, firmware update, etc.
I don't have any problems connecting to a 23" Cinema display or to a 19" Samsung LCD, but I tried several times to connect to the HDTV and got a kernel panic each time. I changed resolutions on one try and still got the same issue (720x480 so the TV would see it as 480p). I even tried booting up with the display already connected and it kernel panic'd when it tried to switch into the full OS X GUI.
The specific error is in the panic.log is:
Sat Jun 10 16:23:48 2006

What happens if you boot from the DVD that came with the MBP instead of booting from your hard drive? It could have something to do with your configuration.

Kernel panic when waking from sleep

My eMac (1Ghz, 256 Mb RAM, dual boot OS 9.2.2/OS X 10.2.8(upgraded from 10.2.4)) has a recurring but intermittent issue where it suffers from a kernel panic when waking from sleep.
In the past I managed to fix the issue by resetting PRAM and NVRAM, but this doesn't seem to work anymore.
Things I've found out until now:
- Apple Hardware Test and Techtool Deluxe can't find anything wrong (all tests are passed).
- No kernel panic log is written - apparently the kernel panic occurs before the log can be written.
- Crash appears to be network-related. My IP address and network card address are shown at the bottom of the panic window.
- After restarting, Finder windows revert to a state from two or three days ago...
- Login items aren't the problem. I removed them all - this doesn't make any difference.
- no weird things in the startup items folders, AFAIK.
I'm on the verge of reinstalling OS X, but I think I already did this a couple of years ago, and it didn't help.
Please help.
Thomas

Nominally, you'd download the OS X Update Combo 10.2.8 after reinstalling 10.2.4, then use Software Update to identify any additional security and other software updates. There was an issue with early builds of 10.2 failing the 10.2.8 udate if done directly, but working fine if one first updated to an intermediate version such as 10.2.6; I think that problem affected 10.2 through 10.2.3 and your 10.2.4 should be good to go directly to 10.2.8, but if there are any problems, you can go back to 10.2.4, then search the Apple Downloads link for 10.2.6, then 10.2.8
With 10.2.x, it's prudent to run Repair Permissions after each OS and security update before moving on to the next.

Kernel panic when booting from DVD or external drive

Hey Folks,
I have a 13" MBP, seems to run fine for the most part.
However, I can't boot from DVDs or external hard drives. Disk Warrior, my and a tech support buddy of mine's OSX Snow Leopard DVDs, and external boot disks all cause a kernel panic when selected from the alternate boot menu when rebooting with alt.
The DVD/External spins up, the loading spinner goes for about 20-30 seconds, and then BAM - Kernel panic. I'd reinstall OSX... but I can't!
Any suggestions? I'd rather not send the computer to a tech for a week - I need it daily for work.

ITunes causing kernel panic when ejecting cd

I have seen several Macs at my job get kernel panics when they eject music cd's from within iTunes. It happens randomly and I can't see a pattern. I delete the CD Info.cidb and CDDB Preferences but that doesn't resolve the problem for long.
PowerBook G4/867 Mac OS X (10.4)

I'm having the same exact problem. After importing 1 or 2 CDs, when I click the eject button on the bottom right corner of the iTunes screen, I get the Kernil Panic message. This problem arose within the last few weeks, certainly after some software got updated by Apple. What gives?!?

Help!!! Brand new MBP with Santa Rosa Kernel Panics when started with external HD firewire 800 after 20 sec...
I don't know what it could be???
Do you???
Thanx
Jay

I'm actually having a similar issue and I don't think its related to networking at all.
I'm currently working in a corporate environment where we deploy pre-built OS X images to machines. I recently upgraded my images to 10.4.10 before we got our first Santa Rosa machine. This image was built on a MacPro and worked on all Intel Macs down to a MacMini CoreSolo. When I deployed my prebuilt image to the SR MBP, it caused a kernel panic immediately.
Further investigation revealed previous builds of OS X, including 10.4.10 upgraded from any other model Intel Mac will kernel panic the SR MBP. Going backwards the SR Build of OSX will not work on any previous model Mac, as any other build typically does, but causes severe graphical distortion, as if it does not have the display drivers for the other Macs.
To make a long story short, I think your issue comes from the fact that your external hard drive has an older build of OS X 10.4 than the SR MBP will run (even though you may have upgraded it to 10.4.10). Anyone who can corroborate my story with some more testing, please chime in.
I haven't found a solution for this issue yet other than keeping a seperate Santa Rosa Core 2 Duo image for my deployments.

Kernel Panic When Booting with Install DVD

I get a kernel panic when booting from the OSX 4 (tiger) install DVD. I am using a Quad G-5 with 8 gigs of ram.

Have to ask what version your Quad came with, whether same DVD you are using now. Apple now has Tiger DVDs w/ 10.4.6 for sale.
When booting, or when you get to the screen to select Languages on the initial screen (before you can select DU or Installer etc)?
How about Option booting to Apple Hardware Test and running extended test?
Did you run memtest or anything when you installed RAM (assuming you didn't buy it BTO w/ 8GB).
Any time adding or changing hardware, including memory, it is either a good policy or essential in some cases to boot into Open Firmware (command option of) on startup and type "reset-nvram" and 'reset-all" after installing. Same for PCIe or even swapping out disk drive (where sometimes a drive won't show up or allow you to partition).

MacPro Kernel Panic when audio cable is unplugged...

Hello,
My MacPro running SnowLeopard Kernel Panics when I unplug the speaker cable from the back. No new hardware/software has been installed recently. Any insight??
thanks!

I think you need to post the panic dump listing for folks to help you. There's no way anyone could guess based on no real information.

Kernel panic when I try startx: edited again

I just reinstalled arch (slight mishap yesterday :oops: ) I'm running testing, have installed xorg, kde, ati stuff, etc. When I try to startx I get a "kernel panic not syncing". Has something to do with xorg configeration.
Any ideas :?:
If I just run xorgconfig no panic when I then run aticonfig etc panic.
For the moment I've given up on fglrx and am just trying radeon. the message I get says the system can't find the radeon driver :?:

KeepItSimple:
If you're getting a kernel panic when trying to install, then I'd start with RAM and the installation disks.
RAM: Panther has higher standards for RAM than does 10.2.x; if you have more than one RAM module, take one out (assuming that leaves you with at least 128 MB) and try again. If it panics again, try switching the RAM. As far a brand names go, I prefere Kingston or Azen RAM.
Installation Disks: if they're grey, they won't work. Grey installation disks are packaged with specific Macs, and only contain hardware drivers for that specific Mac. You need the retail version of the disks, which were sold in a black box. There are four CDs in the set, three of which are for installing the OS (the fourth contains Developer Tools). The three OS disks are black with a large silver X in the middle.
Good luck!
