panic(cpu 6 caller 0xffffff80054b7bd5): Kernel trap at 0xffffff80054460b4, type 13=general protection

That is a reference to a memory address that is present, but not yours.

Kernel Extensions in backtrace:

com.apple.filesystems.smbfs(1.8)

The crash occurred in calls generated by the Microsft PC File System, Server Message Block protocol.

You have a lot of non-Apple stuff loaded, and that changes things. To get Apple to help you, you need to show this panic without these third-party extensions present:

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetAdp 4.2.6

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetFlt 4.2.6

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxUSB 4.2.6

Thanks for your help, Grant 🙂

Hey Grant,

I've been experiencing kernel panics too. I can't locate and delete the two extensions below either. Can you help me out?

This kernel panic cause correlates strongly with a Graphics Hardware probelm:

panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff7f9416fb25): NVRM[0/1:0:0]: Read Error

Print out this bulletin and take it with your MacBook Pro 6,2 (15-inch, Mid 2010) when you go to the Genius Bar. They have a special diagnostic that detects this problem, but training on the subject is not universal -- some know about it, some do not.

TS4088- MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video

Thanks for your advice Grant! I'll take care of it in the morning.

Hi,

I recently bought my Retina Macbook Pro 15" and I also having some issue with kernel panic (happened about 3-4 times now), I hope this is not a hardware issue thats why I need some advise before I go to the local store, because in my country if we need to replace the hardware it will take about 1-2 months.

Thanks

That is a very unusual panic possibly related to graphics or backlighting Hardware:

panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff7fae4433e2): "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED : rdar://7254528"@/SourceCache/AppleGraphicsControl/AppleGraphicsControl-3.2.13/s rc/AppleMuxControl/../logSupport/../AppleMuxControl/kext/AGCPowerManagement.cpp : 1044

These sorts of panics do not occur in Mac OS X that has working Hardware AND has not been modified ...

... but your Mac OS X has been extensively modified with several third-party kernel extensions:

com.parallels.kext.vnic 8.0

com.parallels.kext.hypervisor 8.0

com.paragon-software.filesystems.ntfs 82

com.bresink.driver.BRESINKx86Monitoring 9.0

You should take your MacBook to the dealer and have them run extensive diagnostics on it.

If that does not turn up anything, they will ask you to do a "clean install" which re-loads Mac OS X with NO third-party add-ons. If it fails after that, then they should take action.

Hi Grant,

I did a clean install this morning but in less than 3 hours the kernel panic comes again 😟,

anyway really apreciate your help, I think i need to go to the dealer and see what they can do,

Thanks

You may want to print out the kernel panic log to show them what the fault was and that you have no third-party kernel extensions loaded.

Hey @Albert_Cheeseman,

You mention:

So it looks like the displays, or the Thunderbolt ports, are behind my problem. I don't think it's a hardware issue here because I never had a problem before Mountain Lion and it started immediately after I upgraded to it. I'm currently waiting for Apple Support to let me know what to do next but I thought this might be useful info for others who might be having similar problems.

Then in your next post

I've now had a reply from Apple Support saying that their engineers are aware of the problem affecting me and hope to have a resolution in a future update.

Were they more specific than this? Is it related to the external displays?

Hi there arrrghnold,

I'm afraid they weren't any more specific than that, and so far I've not seen any OS X updates coming through that might contain a fix. I've contacted them again to see if they can give any idea of when the update is likely to appear, but I'm not really expecting a useful answer. I'll keep this thread updated with whatever they say.

Regards,

Rob

I am having similar issues as everyone else. I got these kernel panics for the first time a week ago. My imac is an early 2008 on Lion and seemed to be working fine. But these kernel panics wouldn't even allow me to boot into Safe Mode after a couple times. I took it into the Apple Store. They ran their diagnostics tests and didn't find issues. They wiped the harddrive and installed a fresh version of Lion. I spent last night copying over from Time Machine which maybe was a mistake. Tis morning though everything seemed fine. Just like always until I tried to play a video on YouTube in Chrome. Now its the exact same problem. So far I haven't been able to boot into Safe Mode or Recovery.

This was one of the kernel,panic reports I managed to get from the first time around. Any thoughts? Should I take it back to Apple?

This was one of the kernel panic reports I managed to get from the first time around.

Since you have re-loaded Mac OSX since then, this report is not useful except to note that this is an ordinary Page Fault (a reference to memory outside your region).

Any thoughts? Should I take it back to Apple?

This report does not show third-party kernel extensions loaded, so this should be an Apple problem. You may be able to find a trend by looking through the reports from after re-loading Mac OS X.

If there is no trend ( different routines crash and different reasons each time) that is a trend of its own, and may implicate your memory DIMMs.
