Unmapped Memory Exception
I have been having severe problems since upgrading to 10.4.11 a couple of weeks ago. I have been following the threads related to it here and tried many remedies am wondering what the next stage might be and anyone can offer clues.
My main problem is that all applications are crashing frequently. All the adobe progs I used for work as well as the usual mail, safari and everything else. It's impossible to work as they (the adobe programs at least) keep corrupting the files as they go down.
I first knew that there was a problem when I experienced a kernel panic the moment the machine re booted after the initial upgrade. I was sloppy and used the delta without checking my permissions etc. So I reloaded the system using the combo download being sure to remove all external drives, peripheral devices and to check permissions and drives.
I have since reloaded my system more times than I can keep track of. Firstly using a clean install while maintaining the user, then losing the user and finally wiping the hard drive before reinstalling everything fresh and still I am experiencing problems. Obviously I am checking the drive structure, and repairing permissions before and after.
I have gone back to 10.4.0 and then back upto 10.4.10 (the last happily stable version I was using) many, many times but still the applications will not stop crashing. Usually they are stable for a short while then after a day or two the crashing starts then becomes so severe that the programs wont stay open.
Prior to these problems I recently added a new eSATA card and new RAM to the machine (G5 Dual 2.5Ghz) while 10.4.10 was already loaded. I have since removed the eSATA card but not the RAM. I'm now thinking of removing the RAM but want to see if anyone knows the meaning of the crash reports I keep getting in console.
Each and everyone says something about memory or Kernel (I can post full versions if this is not enough info);
