Strange Problem - Kernel Panic when moving MacBook

So, as the title says, I've been having a really strange problem with my MacBook. (white, 1.83Ghz, 1.25GB RAM, 10.4.7)
Since I upgraded the hard drive (I used SuperDuper! to transfer the data exactly from the stock 60GB to a seagate 120GB), I seem to frequently get kernel panics whenever I physically move my MacBook, unless it's sleeping when I move it. Is the hard drive going bad? Any ideas?

That's an interesting conundrum.
I can only guess that it has something to do with the Sudden Motion Sensor. Or that there's a short in the SATA connection (possibly reseat the drive into the socket again) or maybe the RAM which I'd do the same and make sure the RAM is seated well.
Very interesting. Sorry I don't have anything more to offer.

  • Kernel Panic when boot MacBook Pro (related to ACPI driver)

    Hi,
    since the first day that I received my MacBook Pro I have a kernel panic sometimes (not always). When it occurs i have to hard reset the computer, and normally it comes another kernel panic (a second). Finally, in the third boot, it boots and all is ok, the system goes very well.
    I only see one reference to this problem, a flickr photo at http://www.flickr.com/photos/christophermar/108747167/
    The kernel panic is like this:
    panic (cup 0 caller 0×0039AE87): Unable to find driver for this platform : “ACPI”.
    Debugger called : <panic>

    I have an actualized firmware and OS.
    Any idea?
    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    Well, finally I phoned Apple to change for new
    MacBook Pro (less than 14 days).
    I hope that new MacBook don't have this problem
    because I fall in love with this "laptop"
    Glad you are getting this taken care, and also glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I had kernel panics with my MBP, so I sent it back to amazon for a refund. It was my only real problem with the machine, though, which I loved otherwise. But kernel panics are a serious defect.

    That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
    A damaged OS X installation
    A fault in a peripheral device, if any
    Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
    An internal hardware fault
    An obscure bug in OS X
    You can rule out the first two possibilities by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
    Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it as directed in this support article.
    If you've recently upgraded the memory, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts on the memory modules when handling them. If necessary, clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol.
    The Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
    In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
    Otherwise, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at least  two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair

    I am running Lion10.7.4. I have started to notice an annoying problem when I copy files to my deskdop from an email attachment or external drive. As I am moving them I get a split second "checkerboard" pattern on my screen. Any thoughts from anyone as to whats going on to cause this? Thanks!

    Performed a TechTool diagnostic last night. Got passing grades on all benchmark tests. I wonder if it has anything to do with a firmware issue. I am having trouble upgrading to the newest EFI version for Lion. Got a call into Apple support for a chat. Thanks for your help!

  • 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:

    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.

    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.

  • Frequent kernel panics on my macbook 5,1 (late 2008)

    Hi all,
    since some week I'm experiencing frequent kernel panic on my macbook unibody 5,1 (late 2008).
    I tried to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks but this didn't solve my problem. Now I started with a new clean installation of Snow Leopard, but after a few of hours I experienced an other kernel panic.
    I hope someone of you can help me with the issue. I report below the crash log, could you read in it what is the problem?

    Kernel panics indicate either a driver that is corrupted, a directory that is corrupted, or marginal hardware.
    When hardware test is unrevealing on an erase and install, then RAM is usually the culprit.  Never install third party RAM without the age of the Mac and the model specified by the RAM manufacturer.  http://www.macsales.com/ and http://www.crucial.com/ are two with a lifetime warranty that do that.
    If your data is backed up, the directory can be examined, or an erase performed to isolate possible hardware issues.

  • Kernel Panics when using Airport Extreme Card...I think

    So I have been to the Apple store 7 times in the last three days...here are the problems I've been having and what they've done. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
    All of a sudden I started having Kernel Panic crashes (a least 5 a day.) Seemed to mostly happen when I was browsing (using Firefox.) Also I would usually experience an intermittent connection to the internet before a crash. (i.e. I would be browsing, then the connection would be lost...I'd turn off Airport...turn back on...then a few minutes later while browsing...crash)
    Here is what I've done:
    - At first we thought it was software...after two erase/install, that wasn't it.
    - Maybe the new RAM from OWC...re-sat the RAM, took RAM out and replaced with factory RAM...had OWC send new RAM, that wasn't it.
    - Maybe it is logic board, factory RAM, or Airport Extreme card...Apple replaced today...and THAT wasn't it.
    - Got home after all these new parts and it crashed again while browsing wirelessly. So, I thought, "Could my Qwest wireless network be doing this!?!?!"
    Have tried some different settings with Qwest and am awaiting another crash.
    Does anyone have any idea what else I could try? (2 erase and installs, a new logic board, new RAM, new AE card, didn't do it!)
    I so appreciate any help or advice. I'm in the middle of a couple of major projects and cannot bear to go back to the Apple store for an 8th time!

    I don't have any solutions, but I had been reading about some folks having airport related kernel panics in the MacBook discussion forum. As a matter of fact, I had a kernel panic a little while back on my MacBook, and the crash log pointed to some issues with airport drivers. Here is what Macfixit says about these drivers and I quote:
    "Bad built-in hardware (including hard drives) Repeated kernel panics can be the result of incompatible, damaged or misconfigured built-in hardware. This includes built in AirPort, Bluetooth and other networking hardware, corrupt or damaged hard drives, faulty processors and more. Examine your crash log (as discussed in our tutorial "An introduction to reading Mac OS X crash reports") for clues as to which device is implicated.
    Sometimes the fix is as simple as re-seating built-in hardware. Make sure any PCI, PCI Express, AirPort and other expansion-type hardware is firmly and properly seated in its appropriate port.
    In other cases, the fix involves attacking the problem at a driver or kernel extension level. Again, examine your crash reports and look for components specifically linked to certain hardware. For instance, the following Mac OS X components are all used by Apple AirPort hardware, and can be implicated (by crash logs) in kernel panics:
    com.apple.driver.AirPortAtheros5424(100.21)
    com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily(1.5.0)
    com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(1.9)
    com.apple.iokit.IO80211Family(110.19)
    After determining device-specific components, you can try re-installing them -- either by performing an "Archive and Install" of Mac OS X, or downloading and manually placing items."

    I unchecked the "put hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" option in the Energy Saver configuration under System Preferences and this seems to have solved the problem. I left it idle last night for hours and not problem. I will keep monitoring it.
    In the mean time, if anyone knows how to read the panic log (or can suggest a tool to do so), please post a reply.

  • 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*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    Once that is done at least twice, we can start looking at solutions for kernel panics*:

  • Kernel Panic when I use hot corner to put display to sleep (twice)

    As the title above says, for the second night in a row, my new iMac (2012) has had a kernel panic when I perform that action. I also turn off my magic mouse to save the batteries but I'm constantly doing both of these actions throughout the day when I know I'm not going to being using my iMac for some time. Both occurences happened on consecutive nights. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Any or all of the following third-party system modifications may be contributing to your problem:
    SX-Virtual Link
    Soundflower
    If the panic is recurrent, I suggest you uninstall them, one at a time, according to the developers' instructions, to see whether you can identify which one is at fault. A conflict between modifications may be involved. Reboot and test after each uninstallation.
    Back up all data before making any changes.

    You probably  have the problem described at  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4088
    gfxCardStatus by cody krieger  may help by allowing you to keep the graphics set to one of the two modes
    In any case : take it to Apple or an AASP & show them the report They should run a specific test with a simple pass/fail result shown on screen.
    The three year period since purchase has probably passed; but nonetheless, if you're asked to pay, I'd call Apple customer service (or speak to the store manager ) & request that they consider your case. Several users here have previously obtained free repairs after doing so, even though outside the time limit. Here's a fairly recent one,

  • Kernel Panic when Updating from Mac OS X 10.3.9 to 10.4.7 Server Software

    I tried updating our G5 Xserve with the 10.4.7 DVD. Since I have only a CD drive in the Xserve, I used a Mac Mini in target mode with the Server Install DVD in the MacMini DVD drive. Upon restart at the beginning of the install process, I get a Kernal panic.
    I have a Village Tronic MPDDpro graphics card with latest drivers. 1 GB of memory. (I also tried using an external DVD firewire drive, but get the same kernel panic when Xserve tries to boot from the OS X Server DVD)
    I was unable to get the xrdiags to provide any output. Tried unsuccessfully to get a Mac Mini running OS X Server to Netboot properly, so tried with xrdiags on a CD. Again no output back to the terminal administering the xrdiags start.
    I tried putting the Xserve in target mode and installing the 10.4.7 from the Mac Mini. Install process went through successfully, but when I rebooted the Xserve, and before getting to the Setup Assistant, I got the Kernel Panic again.
    Needing then to re-install 10.3, I reinstalled the 10.3 Server with the original disks and updated to 10.3.9 and reinstalled all the application software and setup users etc, (days of work) all went well with 10.3.9 Server.
    I need to get up to 10.4.7 soon!
    Any ideas what to do next?
    Xserve   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Xserve G5 2Ghz with CD optical drive and MPDDpro graphics card

    Thanks for helping. I'm green at this! Getting definite experience as you can see, but can you help me with an actual real live make and model of a graphics card that is known to work on the G5 Xserve?
    I called ATI re: their Radeon 9200, and was told by tech support that they do not support this card on the G5 Xserve. Yet, Scott Maiden, in his post above, referenced an ATI Radeon card.
    What cards are being successfully used? Can I have a list?
    Apple Tech Support will not give any such list. Maybe they know of some problem with all? (When I bought the Xserve in September of 2004, Apple Tech Support recommended the VillageTronic card.) The new, yet un-released Quad-core 64-bit Intel Xeon Xserve has "built-in graphics functionality, with mini-DVI output and support for industry-standard VGA displays," according to Apple's web site. Hopefully this will eliminate this type of problem in future releases of Xserve. But for the nasty here and now...
    All I need is an inexpensive graphics card to administer this Xserve. Currently I am using a 21” SuperMatch SVGA monitor.
    Thank to all who have helped.

    The only cards I have found to work reliably in the
    G5 XServe are the cheap-arse PCI models. I do not use
    my XServe for serious graphics work so I do not know
    how it works with other cards.
    Can you swap in a known compatible PCI card for
    testing purposes?

  • Experiencing Kernel Panic when computer sleeps???

    I have a late 2013 MBP... I recently updated my OS to 10.9.2 Immediately after updating my computer began experiencing kernel panics when it would sleep for various amounts of time (couldn't recognize a real pattern). After a few days the problem seemed to happen more frequently and eventually happened everytime the computer went to sleep. I contacted Apple Support and they have deduced that it is a hardware issue (doesn't make sense to me since it only started happening after a software update?). I did install an aftermarket SSD, so I thought perhaps that was the problem, so I installed a new one... to no avail, still experiencing the same problem. I've come up with a temporary solution... I simply have my computers settings adjusted so that my computer does not sleep. This obviously has not solved my problem, but is a temporary fix. Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on???? Thanks in advance!

    The version of virtual box I have on my system may not be the most absolute current up to date, but it is certainly the mac os version. Besides, virtual box wasn't running. It's just a freebie alternative to Parallels allowing me to run windows. But again, unless I'm doing something in windows, virtual box isn't even fired up. It wasn't last night when I put the system to sleep.
    How do I find the hardware test that came with my system? Is it on the install dvd? What's it called?
    THANKS!!
