Mountain Lion not stable kept on crashing

My kexts are

at.obdev.nke.LittleSnitch

de.rme-audio.driver.FirefaceUSB

com.attotech.driver.ATTOiSCSI

I tried the script and got the same non-result. I've tried multiple times, each time confirming that I've pasted exactly as it was posted here but no results at all. Anybody have any clues about what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hi William,

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion last week I'm having the same 4-5 times a day kernel panic, drivin' me bonkers. Ran that command you offered and see that I have 2 programs w/the extensions:

at.obdev.nke.LittleSnitch

com.sophos.kext.sav

Do I need to uninstall these programs to see if this is the reason I'm crashing so much? Hope that's not a dumb question.

I m having this problem as well!!!!! stupid macos ml! I want steve back!!!!

FWIW, I quit using Safari and only use Chrome now and my crashes stopped.

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxUSB

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetFlt

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetAdp

I had the same approach, but it didn't solve my problem, I'm in Firefox now, the only remaining browser before starting using Lynx.

What I did that seems to be working in the last hour is as described in the post of Juls on Sep 19, 2012 10:45 AM (in response to Richard Tamesis)

After this, removing the all files from Finder bookmark, Finder at 68 Mb only.

Maybe I'll try Chrome again now.

Safari with the Safari and Web contents process is .... complicated because Web content consumes near >= 2GB every time I've bee using Safari since the Upgrade to ML on launch day.

Regards.

I tried this and got

com.DataRobotics.driver.iSCSIInitiator (1.4.31) <95 4 3 1>

But where is it? I looked in /System/Library/Extensions and it is not there. How can I find this file?

Thanks

Bob

My Finder has been freezing several times a day for a few weeks. I tried the third party extension thing but that did not fix it. Also found and removed MacFuse, someone mentioned that. I never had this trouble before -- is it a problem within ML itself?

Is there anything I can do to find out what might be the cause? Some system log or something?

Thanks

Bob

I have learned that if I just wait for the Finder, like 5 minutes or more, it will usually return from the 'spinning wheel of death'. Anyone know how to find out just what it is doing all that time? Activity Monitor says it has 9 threads, 98% of the CPU, and about 300MB of memory.

My system doesn't have a lot of memory, 4GB, and I have a few apps running. Could it be doing some kind of housekeeping that causes it to become inaccessible for over 5 minutes?

Thanks

Bob

Excellent, thanks 🙂

Hi William

What do I do once I've located these extensions. Mine came back as

com.vara.driver.VaraAudio

com.seagate.driver.PowSecDriverCore

which would make sense, since the freezing happened once I plugged my external Seagate hardrive in

Thanks

Paul

This still happens all the time. I haven't found any solution that works -- never before in all my time of having a Mac have I had a problem where the Finder regularly freezes.

I ran the script and get this list so i have to unistall my programs o what do I do?

at.obdev.nke.LittleSnitch

com.microsoft.driver.MicrosoftMouse

com.microsoft.driver.MicrosoftMouseUSB

com.Cycling74.driver.Soundflower

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxUSB

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetFlt

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetAdp

Thanks

The terminal told me of 3 extensions...soundflower, kensington trackball & little snitch. I went to /System/Library/Extensions and found all 3 but only deleted soundflower and kensington first since those seem to be the common troublemakers. It worked. No need to go back for little snitch. Thank you! Best to go one at a time when you get your list to narrow down the culprit. Hope this helps others.
