SA_MAGIC header corrupt on ZFS causing kernel panic in S11.1 SRU5.5
I have a number of Sun Fire x4500s and x4540s running S11.1 SRU5.5. One of the x4540s has recently started kernel panicking within minutes of powering on and sharing its file systems over NFS (it provides user directories for a computing cluster). If I don't share via NFS, the kernel panics do not occur.
When I run mdb on the kernel panic coredump I get:
\> ::panicinfo

thread_start+8()In doing some google searching, I'm able to infer from similar lines of code in OpenSolaris (and various ZFS derivatives) that the point of this line of code is to ensure that a ZFS block has a particular header with the correct endianness. Lines of code just prior to this swap the endianness if its is incorrect (at least in these derivatives). For example:
[ZFS corruption probably from bad RAM|https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues/157]
[FreeBSD kernel panic|http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2012-July/068882.html]
[ZFSOnLinux Panic|https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/1303]
So basically, this assert ought to work unless the header was written to disk incorrectly. I've recently done a resilver since a disk had failed and I'm currently in the middle of a scrub with estimated 90h to go. It did fix about 12kb of mistakes on the scrub even though it was right after the resilver.
Nevertheless, I don't think this should be able to happen unless the redundant copies of this header were also corrupted.
I wrote a little script that loops over process IDs and addresses in the core dump and prints this for each
echo $addr | awk '{print $1,"::pfiles"}' | mdb $DMPNO
The files that are open are all device files (eg./devices/pseudo/...) or things in /var, /etc, /lib, things like that. The user directories/files do not appear to be actively open in the core dump. That said, I cannot match the thread above to a process ID. So maybe there are open files that are not captured in the core dump
Since the machine will panic when I make NFS available, I am currently doing two things to try to resolve the problem:
(1) a zpool scrub
(2) "zfs send"ing a snapshot of every filesystem straight to /dev/null
The idea behind (2) is that eventually I'll read the bad block and force the kernel panic to happen. I'll infer from the log of the script which filesystem is bad and NFS share all the others.
You should assume that I can spell mdb, but not much more than that and everything I've done thus far has been mimicking things I have found in google searching.
Thanks for any advice the community has to help me fix the bad file/filesystem. I am happy to provide more details from mdb or whatever is needed.

The output of fmdump is below. On March 27th, 3 disks were automatically identified as having too many errors and were pulled from their zpools. I replaced them on April 2nd (I believe) and, while they were resilvering, kernel panics started happening on April 6th. After several panic / reboot cycles, I disabled NFS and have not experienced any panics sense. The resilver finished sometime on April 7th (I think) and I started a zpool scrub relatively soon thereafter.

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.

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:

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)

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 ?? -
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.

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. -
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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zrTt88YdBo
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.

Thanks in advance,
MaxMy 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. -
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
djonWell, 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.

Battery Update Causing Kernel Panics?
It seems that ever since I installed the Battery Update it's been causing Kernel Panics on my MBP. Three since yesterday in fact. Has anyone else been experiencing this?
MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1 GB RAM, 80 GB HDD, ATI Radeon X1600Hmm I have seen multiple posts on the computer not booting the OS (gets to the grey apple with spinning gear screen) but so far I think you are the first I have seen reporting kernel panics.
Can you boot to the install cd? I'd try running the disk utility from the install disk and verify/repair permissions and verify the disk as well. (repair disk if verification fails)
Here is an article that may help ya:

Readynas duo mounted over ethernet causes kernel panics
I've found out what is causing kernel panics on my machines, but i'm not sure how to resolve it. I have a g4 laptop and a new mac mini, both mount the readynas via mount_afp using a LoginHook. When the laptop or the mini go to sleep, the ethernet connection is powered off and at some point the readynas goes to sleep as well. So, when the laptop/mini wake from sleep, they have trouble re-establishing the mount to the readynas (as it needs time to spin it's drives up) and then the laptop/mini kernel panic...shouldn't this really be just a lost connection message, rather than a full fledged panic!
This is where we have a difference of opinion...If i can mount an external box over ethernet/firewire/usb and it causes the machine to kernel panic, then the software is not robust enough to handle the exception cases. Running 10.4.x for years with the same external hardware never yielded such results.

External LaCie Multi Recorder causing kernel panics since reloading OS
I just replaced my main internal hd with a new 1TB WD Caviar Black. I migrated all of my user information from my old drive via Time Machine & all seemed well. Since I did a fresh, zero out data install of the OS on the new drive, I need to reinstall my programs. Some of my older programs are kept on DVD-RAM disks that I've had since my old G4. To access these files I use my LaCie Multi recorder which was working fine prior to the HD switch.
When I put my DVD-RAM disk into the drive it's now causing kernel panics.
Anyone know what could have caused this or how I might correct the problem?
Thanks.Okay, it seems that I've got a bad disk. I connected the drive to my laptop & used another dvd & all worked as it should. Put my program back-up disk in & it caused a panic.
New question, is there any way to repair the disk?
I've got DiskWarrior & TechTool Deluxe but I'm not sure how I might go about the repair as the panic occurs while the drive is trying to access the disk. -
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?
ThanksI 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.

ITunes causing kernel panics because I'm streaming to multiple Airplay Speakers?
Any idea what is causing kernel panics that seems to have started when I began streaming to multiple Airplay Speakers? iTunes is listed as the culprit in the crash report.
My question: is there a way to select multiple speakers from AppleTV for Airplay?
Unfortunately not. -

0 B Page-outsThe panic was apparently caused by "LittleSnitch," maybe with help from one or more of the other third-party system modifications you've installed. I suggest you remove it and also "Avast."
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and (unless otherwise specified in this comment) I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.

You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
"Avast" is perhaps the worst of the whole wretched lot of commercial "security" products for the Mac. Not only does it fail to protect you from any real danger, it throws false warnings, destabilizes and slows down your computer, and sometimes or always corrupts the network settings and the permissions of files in your home folder. Removing it may not repair all the damage, and neither will Disk Utility or even reinstalling OS X.
Back up all data, then remove "Avast" according to the developer's instructions. Restart.
If you tried to remove Avast by dragging an application to the Trash, you'll have to reinstall it and then follow the instructions linked above. -
IMac 27" with Wireless G network causes Kernel Panics
I bought a 27" iMac Jan 8th 2010
At home i'm running a Wireless G network through a linksys WRT54G V7.0 router
From day one i was running into Kermnel Panics several times a day
When i was provided a new machine the same thing happened
The machine has been away for repair for 2 weeks and nothing was found.
As soon as the machine was back home the Kernel Panics started again
A clean install has ben done, and when setting up the network for the build in airport, the machine died again in a kernel panic
After further discussions with apple repair they stated the the Kernel Panics were caused by the Wireless G network, and was advised to get myself a wireless N router
I got myself a wirelees N router (apple airport extreme), and no more Kernel Panics were seen
Now the questions are :
Did anybody else ran into this issue ?
Is somebody have this same issue and also have a linksys router ?
Would anybody be able to explain why my Linksys WRT54g V7.0 router running Wireless G cuase the Kernel Panics on my machine ?
Ok quite a story, but hope to get some constructive answers.
thnx
PaulI took home a 27" i5 iMac on 7th of Mar 2010 and immediately two days later i had my first kernel panic.
When i called Apple Support the next day i was led through a barrage of file deleting and the usual Disk Utilities Repair Disk actions. Two days later another kernel panic happened but this time the computer display remained blank. I brought it back to the department store where i purchased it and, they agreed to replace my unit (still within the store's seven days warranty).
Five days later my new unit arrives and the moment i turned on the wireless connectivity i had another kernel panic. I was ****** - NOT looking forward to carrying the 38lb computer back to the store again. Called Apple again and the guy had me reinstall OSX. One day later kernel panics still there.
Then i experimented by not turning on the wireless internet, for two days no kernel panics. The moment i did, a kernel panic would occurs, i got suspicious. That's when i stumbled on luupski's post (I'm real glad i found it). I also was using a linksys WRT54G router and getting the same kernel panics as everyone on this thread. Now that the root cause has been identified, i decided to save my SGD258 (apple airport express) and instead invested SGD18 in a Cat5e 20m ethernet cable. My mac now works perfectly apart from the lack of wireless network, which i can grudgingly bear.
Real glad to see genuine and useful posts in a forum like this. I will be giving a heads up to the Apple support guys, they seem to be totally oblivious about this issue. Its weird since the WRT54G seems to be quite popular here in Singapore.
Thanks,

Lately I've been having a very frustrating problem while using my computer: I get spontaneous kernel panics, usually accompanied by multicolored fuzz on the screen, bands of static moving up the screen, or generally garbled graphics. When I reboot I occasionally get the SOS beeps (three short, three long, three short) or just three short beeps repeated over and over. Other times the computer reboots normally and I send in an error report.
Assuming something was wrong with my graphics card (which would be surprising -- I got this computer in early June), I brought the computer in to the Apple Store with a description of the problem. They ran full hardware tests, popped open the computer and reseated various connectors, and did a graphics stress test overnight on the computer to see if there was anything wrong with the graphics card.
They couldn't even reproduce the problem.
So I got my computer back with no changes made at all and the advice to start trying to track down exactly what causes the kernel panics.
My conclusion is now that Adobe Flash is causing the problem. I installed the Flashblock extension in Firefox to try browsing with no Flash; I had no problems. Any time I explicitly allow Flash content I tend to end up with a kernel panic rather soon. I am using the latest version of Flash (the Apple Store guys actually upgraded it for me) and the problem appears if I'm in Safari or Firefox.
I really don't know what I could do to fix this. Is there a known problem in Flash that might be fixed? Might this be remedied by going to Snow Leopard with Safari's sandboxed browser plugins? It is incredibly annoying.
For reference, here's one of my panic logs:

System model name: MacBookPro5,1 (Mac-F42D86A9)There's nothing specifically in your panic log that points to Flash. The log dependencies are all related to video and the PCI bus driver. Now this may not mean anything in particular, but it could point to possible memory errors from bad or marginal RAM, motherboard issues, or could be software.
You might try two things to start:
1. Boot into safe mode to see if the problem stops. Note that in safe mode wireless does not work so you will need Ethernet access for Internet.
2. Create a new user account and log into that account to see if the problem stops.
And, you can just reinstall OS X:
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. -
WD Hard drive causing Kernel Panics
I recently came home to find one of my hard drives missing from the desktop, I restarted and the drive reappeared. Ran Disk Utility on the drive and it's reported as fine, also S.M.A.R.T. says its fine. But within 2 to 6 minutes the computer will kernel panic (sometimes only getting a 3rd of the way down the screen), panic.log is never updated either so I can't post that info. I've reset PRAM to no avail. When I restart the drive sometimes doesn't appear at all or takes some time to appear.
The only thing that stops the kernel panic is to remove the offending 500GB Western Digital sata in bay 3. I need to to get the information off of that drive but can't keep the computer on long enough before a KP happens again. Disk Warrior and Drive Genius report no errors though running a hardware test in Disk Warrior immediately freezes the machine.
Occasionally the drive will appear and occasionally it won't show up anywhere - not even Disk Utility. I must have some sort of HD controller issue with the drive.
Does anyone know how I could get the info from the drive - maybe put it into a USB caddy? Anyone else experienced anything like this? It certainly doesn't seem very common.Thanks, The hatter, I'll get a enclosure tomorrow, I need the data off the drive more than anything else. Perfectly happy to trash said WD drive afterwards, I've come close already
I only get k/ps when drive is in bay. Drive occasionally won't show up with Disk Utility and sometimes will, which strikes me that it's a serious hardware problem. Root mode boot and safe mode change nothing - sometimes I'll get a Kernel panic while the apple logo is still showing. Take drive out and system is perfectly fine.
Have started to get data off but get k/p after about 5 mins so will take a while. Some is backed up (it's my iTunes library but I backed it up 4 months ago), but could do with around 250Gb of raw firewire movie files dumped from (now blanked) tape that I've yet to process. The data seems fine, just something is causing the k/p. Reboot occasionally shows drive, occasionally doesn't in Disk Utility...
Also tried MacDrive on Bootcamp partition - but XP crashes pretty quickly with a freeze. Will check out WDs Windows/Dos utitlity now you've mentioned it, it is a WD drive after all. So not much better under XP.
Have done extensive RAM tests just to make sure it wasn't that, including reseating and PRAM and SMC reset, but things are fine without drive in bay (and I've another 3 drives in bays working fine including my main Boot drive).
I'd let Disk Warrior do it's work if I didn't think I'd get a kernel panic halfway through... which worries me.. I'd tried booting from Disk Warrior's bootdisk CD and got a kernel panic during boot.
I've now been using this mac for 5 hours now without drive in bay so it's not the mac itself.
Is there anyway of deleting possibly corrupt journal (spotlight does seems to constantly re-index on startup - but only when said drive is in bay) maybe with Terminal?
I'm wary of repartioning as I'll surely get a k/p during the process...
