Boot Camp causes Kernel Panics on Startup
Hi all,
I just purchased a new MBP. I had installed everything and transferred all of my files from my previous notebook (via Time Machine). System was working very well.
I wanted to install a windows partition via boot camp. used Boot Camp Assistant to create a 50GB partition (leaving >200GB of free space on my main partition) for windows 7. Installed this perfectly fine.
Started up OS X again, and was using that for the rest of the day. Played a game in Boot Camp for an hour or so just now. Now, every time I try to boot to my OS X (10.6.4) partition, it kernel panics. Grey curtain of death.
I booted into the backup disc, and repaired the drive using Disk Utility. This found some errors and supposedly fixed them. Permission repair went likewise. Still no luck booting into OS X (but I can use the Windows 7 Ultimate x64 partition just fine).
While trying to resolve this issue, I tried to reinstall OS X over the partition that would not boot up. Erased ONLY that partition and tried to install. Install appeared to work fine, but when not booting from the CD (after the installation finished) it panicked again.
The only way to resolve the issue was to completely repartition the drive and reinstall OS X.
Has anyone else had this problem, and resolved it? I would really like to be able to use boot camp...
