kernel panics

Thanks Den, I actually saw that information but there is nothing relevant. It seems the last option would be to do kernel debug. Let see if someone else have any quick fix!

I have a strong impression that its software problem not the hardware. Most likely it has to do with loadable modules (ktext).

regards,

ali

Here is the latest one! Jsut wonder if its worth burning calories to debug the kernel panic? I can give it a try to setup the debug environment if it can be done on single machine (which i doubt). Mostly, 2 machines are required for such a task but not sure about Darwin.

Thanks for quick response.

0) I am having KP even in safe-boot. According to my understanding "only" apple related loadable modules are present during safe-boot option.

1) Here is KP again even after removing the VirtualBox and output is at the end of this post. I have used uninstaller provided by the VirtualBox package. And did the same thing to get rid of avast.

2) Here is my current machine status:

pnt:~ mebsh$ kextstat | grep -v apple

Index Refs Address Size Wired Name (Version) <Linked Against>

pnt:~ mebsh$

Any thoughts?

regards,

ali

Yes, VirtualBox and avast were removed with proper uninstaller from their vendors.

The most interesting thing is that KP happening in safe-boot. Which certainly points to problems surfacing to system itself. I can only think about 2 things, maybe it has todo with this new update of 10.6.8 as i see lots of people talking about it. Secondly, I remember compiling bin utilities while ago, maybe that is causing some compatability issues.

Whatever it is. I am still trying every single thing and will let you know if i have something interesting.

Gave it another shot while writing whole system files with this http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 Let see how it goes.

What sort of profesional would you recommend?

Don't have much devices connected. Only printer and USB keyboard. Juut had a **** KP again even after installtion of 10.6.8 combo.

I have Apple care still valid so gonna call them now.

Another option I am looking at this stage is console boot, and see if i can find something there.

Alright, I called them and performed the basic usual things like flush the RAM, SCM, verify Disk and remove everything form computer before restart. Everything went well except the AHT, the CD that came with this machine is somehow broken so couldn't perform the test. They will ship a new CD to me.

I don't have much hope as I was told AHT is the first option in case there is hardware problem. If everything goes well with successful results then there is only option 2! which is clean installation.

I will not do it that quick. Hey, BTW can we boot in console and load the X server form command line? (like linux, win machines ) maybe that would give some hints.
