Experts, help me with kernel panics.... PLEASE

Been having KPs randomly recently. This one detailed below was when running Firefox and perhaps itunes (had quit mail since opening, not sure if I quit itunes). This was after boot up and no other programs had been opened. I'm hoping someone here can identify what might be causing this issue for the logs. (I have more logs I can post if needed)


A bit of background:


Purchased MBP early 08, never had a problem, then when i finally decided to up the RAM from 2gig to 4gig, purchased from crucial, the install caused my first K.P. At the time I thought it may be due to using firefox as if I did not use the net, all programs seemed to work for hours, but FF would shut it down within minutes.


I tried experimenting with different configs of RAM, each 2gig stick, total of 3gig using one original and one new and no issues. The only time i had K.P. was with 4gig.


I gave up and went back to 2gig. Put the new sticks in a drawer and moved on.


Recently I upgraded to Lion and thought I would give it another try. So far the system seems to be working fine except for the most part. It will last for an extended period with many programs operating, sometimes over days before a KP will strike.


After the first K.P. recently I looked in to what I could do to check RAM and ended up using memtest with no issues discovered, so the sticks seem not to be the cause.


This is a list of some of the things I was doing at the time of the KPs since upgrade to lion:


  • using google maps and trying to zoom in to street view.
  • trying to add an airport express to my network whilst playing iTunes
  • watching a flash video on a news website, also with itunes playing
  • loading a stock chart.


It’s so frustrating because it seems to be a different thing each time.

After one of the K.P. when I powered back up, the system did not go to the log in screen, and instead of the start up sound, there was 3 short burst tones repeated after a few second gap like a warning alarm. Never seen that before.

That link does say you wont hear a normal startup chime, though I do, then the beeps started on a cycle (it also says the tones are only played once). Was last modified in 2008 though.


I have always suspected the RAM, however as I mentioned in the varying configurations, I never had an issue. And using memtest gives it a pass. I am baffled.


I did also wonder if it was Firefox, until I had a KP when using Keynote with nothing else running, but ruled that out as the issue has occured with many different versions.

Nov 4, 2011 8:58 PM in response to Linc Davis

Thx for your input. May I ask what you see in the logs to lead you to this (hopefully correct) assumption?


I'm interested in checking the other logs I have for similarity.


And on a side note, i have realised my initial post states there was no chime prior to the warning sound, even though it was on a repeating cycle. Must've been the case at that time (was a few weeks back), however I certainly did hear the chime after logging back in after a KP yesterday when the warning sounded.


Thx to both of you for responding.

Nov 7, 2011 2:31 AM in response to Linc Davis

Interestingly, that line appears in 4 of the 5 logs I have so looks like you may be spot on. Thanks very much for helping to narrow down my problem and pointing me in the right direction. I really appreciate it.


If it's not too much trouble can you explain briefly what the unloaded kext means. As I understand a kext is a driver type file (correct?), so what does it mean to unload it. I mean if it was being shut down I could understand that, but in this case that could be excluded as no programs are being closed at the time of the K.P.

Nov 27, 2011 9:15 PM in response to Linc Davis

Ok, so I'm back.


After removing the logitec software the system seems to run ok so long as I only put the MBP to sleep. If I shut it down, then on rebooting I will get another KP after not too long. Difference this time however is that when I reboot, I get the chime, then during the white screen I get another KP before I even get to the log in. This has occured 3 times since removing the LCC software.


Below is the log I got after rebooting again and logging in the second time on this occasion. I note there is no unloaded kext this time, only loaded. the previous two times, I did not record details, however I do recall seeing the com.apple.filesystems (though not sure of the ntfs component but it was prabably the same thing).


Is this likely to be the problem now? I am basing that on the assumption it is the first on the list meaning the last loaded (if it follows the same theory as previously posted KP report logs)

You got RogueAmoeba, there are always issues with this as it does stuff Apple doesn't like.


You have something that uses Pace, I think that's a copy protection scheme for a sound software perhaps, it's for Snow Leopard and your on 10.7


The Cycling74.drive.Soundflower also has issues, it's a sound assistance something or the other, likely associated with the same program that uses Pace.


Apogee.drive, I don't know.


You need to uninstall or update all the software responsible for these incompatible kext files.



If you can't uninstall it using their software, then remove these kext files from the System/Library/Extensions folder and reboot.


Add the programs responsible one at a time and wait, then add another and wait, until your issue returns and then you know it's the last thing you installed.


Your going about things backwards, uninstall all first then add until your problems resume.

Dec 12, 2011 10:41 PM in response to x99

So after removing all 4 kext files I had hoped I would be able to move on and start adding them back in one at a time until I found the culprit, but I havent got to that point yet as I wanted to wait a couple of weeks to ensure there was no issues first. And then this:

So these all seem to be apple based to me... where to from here?

Dec 13, 2011 4:17 AM in response to x99

You've eliminated third-party software as the cause. That leaves the following possibilities, in decreasing order of probablility:


  1. Hardware fault
  2. System corruption
  3. Obscure OS bug


Of these, the easiest to eliminate is #2: boot from your recovery partition and reinstall Lion. I doubt there will be any change.


#3 is very unlikely, because no one else seems to have reported exactly the same panics, but there's no direct way to rule it out.


#1 could be ruled in by taking the machine to an Apple Store for testing (a free service.) The Apple Hardware Test, which you can run yourself, is unreliable, but if it's positive, that's also a rule-in.
