System Hang, kernel panic.

Hello list,
Doing some independent research into an issue we are having here. We have 21 x4540s running 5.10 Generic_141445-09. They are used as NFSv4 servers to front-end servers. The x4540s that are used for mail (postfix+dovecot) periodically hang. The others do not.
Since they hang, it has been difficult to diagnose what the issue could be. We have "set pcplusmp:apic_panic_on_nmi=1" in /etc/system, and I try to issue "set generate_host_nmi = true" in ILOM, but it appears to be too dead to manage that.
The only symptoms we have in the logs are:
Jul 24 07:50:49 x4500-11.unix inetd[292]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Unable to fork inetd_start method of instance svc:/network/nfs/rquota:default: Resource temporarily unavailable
Jul 24 07:51:09 x4500-11.unix last message repeated 1 time
Jul 24 07:51:15 x4500-11.unix sshd[343]: [ID 800047 auth.error] error: fork: Error 0
Jul 24 07:54:25 x4500-11.unix last message repeated 4 times
A few times I have had a working shell connected when it happened, still running top, which shows it is not out of memory, not even close. No process has gone wild (pretty much just nfsd running). It would appear that it can't start new processes, but not due to lack of memory. Eventually it grinds down to a halt, including console. If I try to run "reboot" (or even reboot -d) it tries to reboot, but fails (just hangs). ILOM reset /SYS will bring it all back again.
Currently, this happens 2-3 times a month. Funnily enough, always at night. What does run at night is a recursive zfs snapshot. It usually dies sometime after that. The process that always gets the first error is rquotad. But that could just be because it is constantly queried.
Not much to go on alas.
Then one day, we got a panic dump. Is it the same problem, or something unrelated? Hard to know, but IF it were to be related...

Can I use mdb to dump all the currently-used-stack memory, and collect that data to see if there is a leak? I could also double the stacksize and see if the period between trouble also doubles.
Any other suggestions which may help in locating the troubles we are seeing?

SteveS,
Thanks for the reply. I have handed it off to the local support, and believe they have forward it to Oracle Japan. Possible, it goes through a lot of language translation, so it is a little like playing Telephone.
I was trying to decipher your ::cpuinfo -v information to see if I could determine if we were having this issue. But I am unsure what to look for in a non-healthy system.
This is the output I get

While waiting, I am poking around in the dump to see if we can find anything interesting. Last time, Telka managed to find out about the OpenOwner lock leaks, which was encouraging.

  • System facing kernel panic....

    I was updating my sysem with OS Maverick but it suddenly restarted and now only disk utility window is opening.
    I hav't taken the recent backup through any means. I know thats stupid but I did so.
    I tried almost all ways to restore but failed. Please help me out with this.

    Thanks. That means you have booted into Recovery: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
    First, try resetting NVRAM/PRAM by shutting down, then restart holding down these four keys, command, option, p, r
    Hold them until you hear the startup tone twice.
    If it boots into recovery again, choose Disk Utility
    Select your hard drive and the First Aid tab
    Click Repair Disk (not permissions).
    If it finds any errors, run the repair again until it doesn't report any and says disk is ok.
    Make sure the Startup Disk is set to your hard drive. I can't remember where that is but it is either in the Disk Utility menu, or it is in the Main menu in Recovery once you quit disk utility.

  • 10.6.4 Combo Update - Kernel Panic on 1st Gen Mac Pro with 8GB and ATI 4870

    Hi,
    I installed the 10.6.4 combo update last night and now my system constantly kernel panics. It was fine with 10.6.3 for months and never kernel panicked.
    I have 4 x 2GB FB-Dimms and a ATI 4870 card.
    The system is also only showing one display and I can force it to kernel panic by going to system preferences and selecting 'Detect Displays'.
    Anyone got any suggestions before I reinstall back to 10.6.3?
    Thanks
    Paul

    Hey guys. I have got a new Macbook Pro 13" model and I am getting kernel panics. I've been trying to partition the drive for Boot Camp and after I updated yesterday (to 10.6.4) i've been getting the kernel panic sign. Also, when I boot from my Snow Leopard disk to go into Disk Utility to repair the permissions (I opened Onyx and on the SMART check it said the permissions needed to be reset) I get a kernel panic and it crashes! So at the moment i've just backed up my work and I am panicking myself as I have no idea what to do from here.
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Kernel panics following wakeups using Leopard

    I had been encountering routine system crashes (kernel panics) after waking my G5 from sleep mode. In an effort to isolate a possible cause, I changed USB hubs, disconnected external hard drives, and so on. What seems to have been the source (fingers crossed) of the panics was the D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth dongle (USB). After removing that, I've had no further crashes (again, fingers crossed).
    I'm curious if others have experienced the same or similar problems.

    In another post I wrote
    I have been in discussions with Apple Support for the last 6 weeks with ongoing kernel panic problems. We narrowed these down to LCC and it's accompanying files. LCC is LOgitech Control Centre which is installed to control the mouse gear wheel etc on the MX Revolution and others.
    The Mac does one of two things.
    In 10.4.10 and Leopard 10.5.1 the mouse constantly freezes on the screen, the keyboard still works and all apps can be quit and work saved. Checking activity monitor shows the Logitech software in red, all with problems. On logging out, the mac freezes. A forced restart with the poer button is the only way of restarting.
    In Leopard 10.5.1 the Mac also constantly has Kernel Panics on wake up from periods of sleep. These can be just 2 minute periods or 2 hour periods, it's random.
    If a Mac is woken from sleep and it enters a Kernel Panic, shortly afterwards a the fans rev to full throttle. This could potentially be a risk in a studio with several macs left on sleep for the night. Especially if someone caught the mouse on a Mac on the way out one night....would they get hot revving all night? Logitech should seriously look into this problem as it appears from all our tests that it is definately their software causing the problems.
    We have tried upgrading to the latest 2.4 LCC software, still the kernel panics and mouse freezes continue.
    If I remove the USB dongle before the computer sleeps it doesn't have kernel panics. However this is not practical and it still doesn't help the freezing issue.
    Apple support have been fantastic in helping us with this problem, but the underlying cause lies with Logitech. Once again, we have a fantastic product and amateur software from Logitech.

  • Bizarre repeating Kernel Panic

    About a year ago, my good old iMac began to exhibit a strange display error, Green (sometimes blueish, or any any color really, but primarily blue-green) gradient blocks started to pop-up everwhere. Finder windows, Menu Bars, Desktop, heck, coming out of sleep once the entire screen was taken over.
    Anyway, if nothing was done about this, the system would Kernel Panic, and one would have to restart. At first i thought this to be one of the elusive mac viruses, so i bought norton antivirus, and ran the program. Well, halfway through, the machine kernel paniced. i tried booting it off of the CD, and while the system didn't kernal panic, the display error was very prevalent.
    i reinstalled the OS, i reformatted the hard drive, i even took it to the Mac Genius thing, but infuriatingly, the one time i want it to kernel panic, it doesnt, so they said it's probably a logic board error. nothing got rid of the error for more than a week or two at best.
    Eventually, furious, i bought a macbook. So while this isn't the most pressing thing in the world, it would really help if you could tell me what to do to fix it. Here's the panic.log file for one of the errors... i think they're mostly the same. i don't have a screen shot of the display problem, sorry!

    is there anything i can do to save to computer?

    Hello one:
    Welcome to Apple discussions:
    Flat statement - there are NO documented viruses (elusive or otherwise) that affect a Mac running OS X. I strongly suggest you dump the Norton AV software. While their AV software seems to run OK, Norton stuff caused OS X users (including me) serious problems in the past. The software manufacturer has dropped support for most Mac software.
    Now then, to your issue.
    I do not read kernel panics well. However, if you have reinstalled OS X, you have eliminated almost all software-related causes of kernel panics. That, of course, leaves hardware. I do not read crash logs well, unfortunately. I would, however, run the hardware checker that came with your Mac to see if it points to any problems. You can also check on the HD (unlikely cause, based on your post) by opening disk utility and highlighting the hD (not your files). At the bottom is something called S.M.A.R.T. If that says anything other than verified, you have a HD problem.

  • 2010 mac mini kernel panics with kg os, mlb, ram, powersupply, etc what now?

    Mac mini (Mid 2010)

    Unit Received Date 08/26/13 05:19 PM
    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...

  • One month old macbook pro got hang(freeze) once, and kernel panic once: should i need to take some actions or its ok??

    my macbook pro 13.3 (OS XLion 10.7.4) is one month old, few days ago  it got freezed(hanged) at that time only 2 apps were running google chrome and xcode, i pressed power button (hold it for few seconds) to restrat.
    Today when i opened the lid(as my mac was on sleep for last one hour- no apps except finder was running) i saw an error like this "mac encountered an error hold your power button for few seconds to restart......blah blah..something in other languages too", i think some where it used the word "kernel panic". 
    After restart mac said "your computer restarted because of a reason", below i have copy pasted the reason.
    Please suggest me its(this behavior is) okie or should i take it to apple center?, also to note i have never played any game on my mac. Can any body suggest me why this kernel panic happened by seeing the reason below.
    Now i am afraid to leave my mac at sleep with unsaved data and that was the exact reason i shifted from windows to mac.

    I have had a 15" Late 2011 model MBP since December and have never had a kernel panic.
    If I do I would take it in for a check up.

  • Kernel panic - hard drive or corrupt journal system?

    Hi,
    My powerbook G4 shut down today with a kernel panic and now won't boot up (giving a kernel panic error after reaching the gray screen). The computer has been working fine, though the battery has run down, with the exception of not shutting down properly (I would have to power off manually). I tried various things to fix this (repair permissions, check hard drive, checking logs, etc.), but all those checked out and I could never get it figured out. I have been leaving the computer running because of this and it has been working fine. It is a stock G4 with no peripherals, except for a 1 GB RAM upgrade. The RAM was installed two years ago and tested strenuously with memtest with no issues.
    I did have my hard drive near full, as I didn't realize that this could case severe issues. It's probably too full to do a clean Archive and Install. My fault.
    I have reset my PMU/PRAM, but the computer won't boot up in safe mode or single-user mode. I get the following message at the end of single-user mode:
    Kernel version:
    Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.0: Wed Oct 10 18:26:00 PDT 2007: root:xnu-792.24.17~1/RELEASE_PPC
    panic: We are hanging here ...
    Unfortunately, I do not have my backup disks with me right now, as I recently moved (I will have them in a couple weeks).
    There's some data on the computer it would be nice to pull off, but not absolutely essential. So my question is: Does this sound like a hard drive problem or a journal system/file system problem or something else? I hear no strange noises from the drive (the fan is a little noisy, though). What can I do at this point while I wait for my discs to arrive from across country?
    If this is a file problem, I have heard these are difficult to fix or even deal with in terms of data recovery, since the disk won't mount even in firewire target mode. Should I invest in a firewire external drive in order to create a bootable second drive? Purchase DiskWarrior? Create a bootable Linux CD? Any help would be appreciated!

    darksurtur:
    If you have the original HDD with which the computer was bought you likely have a failed HDD and should have it replaced with a newer, faster and large capacity HDD. The average life of an internal HDD is 3 to 5 years, and although it may not suddenly stop functioning after that performance gradually decreases until the drive fails completely.
    A too full drive can cause serious directory corruption which can in turn lead to data corruption and possible loss, and eventually a crash. You should maintain a minimum of 15% to total disk capacity (5 GB minimum on HDDs of 40 GB or less) as contiguous free space to allow for swap files and directory expansion.
    You should always maintain a current backup of everything you do not wish to lose as even a new HDD can fail suddenly. Using an external firewire drive and making a bootable clone using a utility like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner is an excellent way to accomplish this. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Backup and Recovery has excellent tips on backup strategies.
    Please do post back if you have further questions or comments.

    I have a MacBook running OS X 10.5, and when I tried to turn it on today it froze at the gray screen with the apple logo. No spinning progress wheel appeared.
    In an attempt to fix this, I unplugged my external hard drive and my ethernet cable, leaving only the power cord attached. Attempting to boot from the install DVD results in a kernel panic. It won't boot in safe mode or single-user mode. In verbose and/or single-user mode the text displayed for the boot sequence appears normal until the following block of text that comes right after "The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved.":
    MAC Framework successfully initialized
    using 5242 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers
    devfsmakenode: not ready for devices!
    IOAPIC: Version 0x20 Vectors 64:87
    ACPA: System State [S0 S3 S4 S5] (S3)
    This is the last block of text displayed; the system hangs at this point. I've also tried resetting the PRAM (no effect), and on the offhand chance that this could be caused by a loose RAM module I ejected them both from their slots and reinstalled them, so I know they are seated with good connections.
    Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Steve

    It has 1 GB of RAM, so I tried booting up with only one module. Neither one of them solved the problem, although oddly enough in Verbose mode this time instead of stopping on the error the I mentioned before, it continued a bit further and gave a kernel panic. This was the same for each module.
    I'm coming to the conclusion that at this point it's probably either the logic board or the CPU, and will probably be expensive to fix -- the warranty ran out in August. I suppose that it's possible both RAM modules are bad, but it seems very unlikely that both of them would be.
    I suppose I'll just have to bring it in for servicing and have it checked out.
    Thank you for the suggestions.

  • PowerMac G5 - Crashing, Hanging & Having Kernel Panics

    Okay, I've got quite a situation here folks. I bought a used PowerMac G5 1.6GHz. The first time I fired it up the fans sounded like a jet engine. After a quick thermal calibration that issue was solved. I'm only mentioning it in case it could having something to do with today's issue.
    So now what I've started getting with this machine is steady hanging (the screen freezes and everything is unresponsive) and kernel panics (both the fancy new "Please hold the power button" ones and the good old text ones). After I started experiencing this, I did some research. Almost everything pointed to bad RAM.
    I opened up the machine and found that the memory was installed in the following configuration:
    ---Slot 1--- 256MB PC2700 Chip with (M) logo (I believe this is Apple standard)
    ---Slot 2--- 256MB PC2700 Chip with (M) logo (I believe this is Apple standard)
    ---Slot 3--- 256MB PC2700 Chip (generic brand, mysteriously says DDR400 not 333)
    ---Slot 3--- 256MB PC2700 Chip (generic brand, mysteriously says DDR400 not 333)
    I ran quick RAM tests and found no problems with the RAM. Then I checked out an Apple document that says ram should be installed like:
    ---Slot 1--- Empty/Upgrade
    ---Slot 2--- Original RAM
    ---Slot 3--- Original RAM
    ---Slot 4--- Empty/Upgrade
    Tried moving the memory to this configuration and had the same issues. Then I tried removing the generic chips and leaving the Apple original stuff. Same result. I figured that had narrowed down the problem to one of those two chips, but I tried it with only the generic chips installed and had the same problem.
    On a whim I ran hard drive and CPU tests to double check that the problem was in the memory. No problems in those tests. I've tried everything I can think of:
    I reset the PMU
    I zapped the PRAM
    I tried every RAM arrangement possible
    I reinstalled the OS with a fresh copy
    No luck folks. Any ideas?

    I am having virtually the exact same problem--I also purchased a used 1.6 G5 and have very frequent and seemingly random crashes. I thought it was RAM also, so completely removed the existing sticks and replaced them with the good RAM I have in my G4 (which still runs and purrs like a **** kitten, although needs a new fan so is a bit loud). Had the same result. Swapped out a new 250g HD and formatted it with ONLY OSX and the basic upgrades in Software Update, but no other apps that I had initially installed on the existing 80G HD. Still crashing. I have gotten a couple crazy kernel errors and the really creepy "System Failure: Corrupt Skip Lists" message. I'm starting to flip out because all the forums are suggesting it could be this and that, but nothing seems to help! Have you found anything out yet?

  • Memory issues - kernel panics / system freezes with 1Gb Memory Card

    I've recently updated my PowerBook OS to 10.4.7 and now more recently 10.4.8.
    Prior to this, i had been running a pair of pc2700 memory cards (1x1Gb + 1x 512Mb) bought from crucial technology on 10.3.9 with no problems.
    During the upgrade, i experienced complete system lock ups and kernel panics. pulling the 1Gb card resolved the problem.
    So i thought it could be duff memory (it happens). I ran hardware checker, both long and short tests, ran memchecker from single user and there was no reported errors although i was still getting crashes.
    I returned the memory to crucial and they replaced it and then i went to reinstall memory in the pb.
    Once reinstalled, problems re-emerged. Both System profiler and iStat pro show both memory sticks as ok. both are pc2700 DDR.
    i tried just the 1 Gb stick in alternate memory slots. with the memory in the lower slot i was getting system freezes, in the top slot i was getting kernel panics.
    I've pulled the 1Gb and reverted to 768Mb (512Mb lower (crucial)/ 256MB (apple) upper) and i'm back to normal.
    Now what?
    As my mac is getting on, i'd like to get as much RAM in it as i can, ideally the 1.5Gb /2Gb which it can support. I'd be suprised if it could be the memory stick being duff (2 duff in a row?), its not a faulty memory slot as system profiler is showing that its full.
    Any suggestions? Anything to do with how 10.4.8 handles the memory addressing?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I've had that problem, too. I found out that it was one of my memory modules that were broken.
    I'd say pop back in your other memory module, then get out your PowerBook DVD and stick it in Restart your PowerBook while holding down the Option Key on your keyboard until some buttons start to show up on your screen.
    Select the Hardware Test one, then click the Arrow button. It'll boot into a utility and you can run a hardware test that includes checking your memory.
    If any of your memory is bad, it'll show up like "**ERROR ERROR**" and give you a code.
    After you've identified the hardware problem (hopefully just the RAM), then you can go to Crucial's website and fill out an RMA request to have the memory replaced. I'm pretty sure Crucial has a life-time warranty on their memory products.

  • A dozen+ Kernel Panics, suspect system issues - what to try?

    Hello!
    Well, in the last few weeks, my poor little Powerbook has lost its mind. I keep having Kernel panics for no apparent reason. Here's the story so far:
    1. I upgraded to Leopard (archive/install) from Tiger, in November.
    2. In early January, I had at least one kernel panic. Not sure what happened. By the middle of January, I had 3 or 4, and on (about) the 15th, I had three kernel panics in the span of an hour - and the lower ram card wasn't being recognized. I took it to the Apple store, where the tech said that it was the infamous "lower ram-slot issue" that plague my model Powerbook.
    3. Once I got the powerbook back from the shop, it seemed to work quite well - fast, stable, panic-free. This week, however, I've had at least 6 or 7 kernel panics - at least 4 of them in the last 24 hours. A few of these weren't the usual "you need to restart your mac" window, but rather a long list of console-like text from the BSD subsystem itself
    It seems to be related to the software - or perhaps Dashboard. Dashboard client has been running out of control this week - and started to go nuts about when the kernel panics started to occur. In fact, one of these "BSD" panics said that the dashboard client hung the computer. Thus, I moved all of my user (non-apple) widgets out of the library folder - effectively removing them from dashboard. This has prevented dashboard client from going nuts, but hasn't stopped the kenel panics. The ones that have occurred since seem to occur when using Safari or MS Word 2004, and one (another BSD panic) said that Window Server hung.
    I've repaired permissions many times, used Disk Utility to verify the boot volume (it was OK), and zapped the PRAM and PMU - no luck.
    I've had some other hardware and software issues:
    First, Spotlight crashes when I attempt to search for something with a common name and have my 4 external hard drives attached... (One with Time Machine backups, one with other backups, and the rest with large volumes of video editing files). This issue probably isn't related to the kernel panic issue though, since it only occurs if I spotlight gets really bogged down - say, I search on "mac" and get 5000 returns...
    Sometimes, if I have the power adapter plugged in and then boot up or wake the Mac, it sometimes won't recognize the adapter and thus run off battery. The solution? Unplug the adapter from the Mac and the wall, then plug both sides in. This occurs at least once a day, having become a much worse issue since sending it into Apple. This makes me think that I may have a issue with the power supply system in the Powerbook, and may be one of the causes of the panics. Again, zapping the PMU and PRAM, hasn't helped. Nor has deleting every power-related plist file.
    The ram issue seems to have stopped, and I'm not sure the power issue could cause this - so I don't know what to do about this. It's happening a lot, but it's not exactly predictable - it would be difficult to reproduce for the Mac Genius, should I run to the Apple store. Since I suspect it's a software issue, I'm also not sure they can do anything about it. If Apple can't do anything about it, I plan on doing an Erase-install of Leopard, then carefully installing software - one thing at a time - to see if I can find the culprit. If worst comes to worst, I'll downgrade to Tiger...
    So then, the questions, summed up are:
    1. Do you have any idea what could be going on?
    2. Can apple do anything about a software-related kernel panic issue?
    3. If Apple can't fix it, and an erase-install won't work, when else can I try?
    Sorry for the long post, and thanks a bunch for the help, I appreciate it.
    -Dan

    K, well i'll try to find the log on the backup clone I made - the Powerbook is currently in the Apple store for diagnostics. Hopefully, then can figure out what the deal is, but it will likely require an archive/install.
    When I was there, he opened one of the logs in console - and it showed literally thousands of errors - all from "kernel". Wow, i have no idea what happened. He said that it may be bit-rot on the part of some of my applications, but there's probably not much they can do if it's not a hardware problem. sigh
    Anyway, I'll look for the log on the backup volume when I get a chance. Thanks, I suppose you're right about you being forced to guess without the log. Didn't think about that... O:-)

  • Kernel panics and video hangs on 27" mid-2011 iMac

    I started having a occasional sudden grey screen about a month ago.  At first I thought it was probably software and tried uninstalling/disabling a few things (like teleportd, audacity, midi-drivers), but the problem continued.  I'd usually have to do an SMC reset to get the system to reboot.  About a week and a half ago, the system started dropping to grey screen (or sometimes black screen) every few minutes and this continued despite multipe SMC and PRAM resets. On several of the restarts, the video was shifted so that the apple logo was off-center and I also saw some other display issues that looked kind of like interlace problems (jagged, flickering edges) but they were localized to certain areas of the screen.  I tried unplugging everything except the keyboard and reseating the RAM, removing everything except the original 4GB that came in the box.  I also tried booting into safe mode (successful, but the video was badly distorted) and booting from CD (hung at a white screen).  I got a couple kernel panic notices during all of this.  I noticed that the vent area on the top was very hot while this was happening, so I thought maybe the GPU was overheating.  So, I made an appointment at the Genius bar for the next day and took it in, explained all of the things I'd tried and they ran a few diagnostics (permissions fix - nothing substantial was broken, basic hardware test - passed) and decided to keep it to run stress tests to see if they could recreate the issue.  A week later, they told me they'd been running diagnostics all week, but couldn't reproduce the problem...
    I picked the system up Saturday evening, took it home and decided to reinstall the OS to see if there was some corruption they just hadn't found with the permissions fix.  I reinstalled Snow Leopard from the media kit, then did a clean Lion installation to a different disk partition.  Patched, reinstalled a few pieces of software (Photoshop, Lightroom, Numbers, Pages, TrueCrypt, Parallels) and I also installed iStat and SMCFanControl (since I read that some people have successfully reduced or eliminated heat related crashes by stepping up the fan speeds).  This evening, I had another round of the same issues that led me to take the system into the Apple store for repairs last week.  I went through all of the same troubleshooting steps (again, including trying three different sets of RAM) and I have a ticket in for tech support to call me Thursday...
    I got two kernel panics during this and both appear to be related to video problems.  I'd appreciate any feedback on whether this looks like a software or hardware problem... or if you see anything I'm missing that looks like something I could fix.  I'm really not looking forward to putting it back in the shop for a week to be told they can't find anything wrong with it

    What's that? Try temporarily uninstalling that and the Parallels.
    For any  possible culprit kernel extensions, it is not necessary to completely uninstall the parent program.
    You can temporarily uninstall any .kext, which may be causing the problem, by doing the following: Open Terminal in Applications>Utilties and copy/paste.
    sudo kextunload
    Important, leave a space after kextunload
    Next, navigate to the /System/Library/ and select Extensions. Inside that folder, find the related .kext in question, which you should drag into the Terminal window. (After dragging it in, the file will stay where it belongs in its original location.) This will automatically fill the Terminal window with the name and path to the file.
    This is an example only of what the full command will then look like; it will not necessarily be found on your computer.
    sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/PaceSupportFamily.kext/
    Hit return. If you have never used the sudo prefix before, you will get a warning, which you can disregard. Then enter your admin password, which you won't see on the screen as you type it in and hit return. Wait for the $ sign prompt to reappear, which will indicate the extension has been unloaded. Then just close the window.
    This will have the effect of disabling the program. If it fails to be the source of the problem, to reload/enable it, substitute kextload for kextunload, using the above procedure.
    Other than that, have a look at this article on resolving kernel panics. Faulty RAM is a frequent cause.

  • Random system hang-ups with Kernel 3.2.1-1 and catalyst 11.12

    Hello,
    i have a very strange problem for the last month or so (i'm afraid i cannot say, when it exactly happened the first time or if it was after a upgrade): My system just randomly crashes. I haven't yet found out when it exactly crashes and how to reproduce it. But it happens almost every 2-3 days.
    When the system hangs up, the last second of sound repeat over and over again. I can't move my mouse anymore as well as typing has no effect. I cannot change to another terminal. I cannot ssh into the laptop nor can i ping it.
    In /var/log/messages.log, there is nothing usefull.. It just ends with the old kernel messages and then the new ones, when the system restarts. No error or so.
    System runs on a Thinkpad X121e with AMD E-350 CPU. I have installed catalyst 11.12 with xorg-server 1.11.3. I will now compile catalyst 12.1 and see if it happens again.
    Does anyone have a clue why the system crashes? Has it anything to do with catalyst?
    Best regards,
    pyro

    Can anyone give a proposal for a step by step procedure to isolate the problem?
    As I don't believe these crashes are related to anything but the kernel, one way of debugging your issues could be:
    * boot Knoppix
    * zcat /proc/config.gz | some non-volatile media
    * boot arch
    * get the current ABS
    * replace config in kernels/kernel26 with the one from Knoppix
    * makepkg
    * install and test
    When that kernel runs, try to diff the two configs and see what's changed in arch. Also comparing both kernel versions if no significant changes exist might hint on the kernel being the problem.
