Kernel Panic - Genius couldn't help....

Question

I&#x27;m having these a few times a week.  I can be in Safari, itunes, iphoto... anywhere.  Is there someone out there who can help me with this one.  The genius at the store ran hardware tests for a few days and says all it well, despite the chain of kernel panics.  If you can decode this a bit and lead me in the right direction I&#x27;d be very grateful.  Here are the last two panics.Fri Sep  7 21:07:48 2012panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff80068b7b95): Kernel trap at 0xffffff7f8806ec2e, type 14&#x3D;page fault, registers:CR0: 0x0000000080010033, CR2:

Any idea.

WZZZ · Answer

Theyre both on your system, so you must have put them there. I&#x27;m getting quite a few hits relating to kernel panics for com.TrustedData.driver. I&#x27;m not really sure what that program might be about, but here&#x27;s onehttp://www.tdsllc.com/CompanyThen, for the attotech.driver I&#x27;m findinghttps://www.attotech.com/products/They don&#x27;t seem graphics related, but the first step would be to unload (disable) those two kexts and see if the KPs stop, using these instructions:For any of the possible culprit kernel extensions, it is not necessary to completely uninstall the parent program.You can temporarily uninstall any .kext, which may be causing the problem, by doing the following: Open Terminal in Applications&gt;Utilties and copy/pastesudo kextunloadImportant, leave a space after kextunloadNext, navigate to the /System/Library/ and select Extensions. Inside that folder, find the related .kext in question, which you should drag into the Terminal window. (After dragging it in, the file will stay where it belongs in its original location.) This will automatically fill the Terminal window with the name and path to the file.This is an example only of what the full command will then look like; it will not necessarily be found on your computer.sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/PaceSupportFamily.kext/Hit return. If you have never used the sudo prefix before, you will get a warning, which you can disregard. Then enter your admin password, which you won&#x27;t see on the screen as you type it in and hit return. Wait for the $ sign prompt to reappear, which will indicate the extension has been unloaded. Then just close the window.This will have the effect of disabling the program. If it fails to be the source of the problem, to reload/enable it, substitute kextload for kextunload, using the above procedure.Good article on KP troubleshootinghttp://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/Troubleshooting-Os-X-Kernel-Panics.htmYou can also unload that LaunchDaemon using the launchctl command. Drag in the file the same way as above.sudo launchctl unload -w (space) &lt;path to file&gt;to reverse substitute load for unload

TrustedDataSCSIDriver is from Drobo.  I did an kextunload and the drobo unmounted.  Ah.  Need that back.  Reloaded.Here&#x27;s what I have for the the others.  Haven&#x27;t tried to turn them off, but do they look like anything familiar?file://localhost/System/Library/Extensions/ATTOExpressSASHBA3.kext/file://localhost/System/Library/Extensions/ATTOExpressSASRAID2.kext/file://localhost/System/Library/Extensions/ATTOExpressSASRAID.kext/file://localhost/System/Library/Extensions/ATTOExpressSASHBA3.kext/file://localhost/System/Library/Extensions/ATTOExpressSASHBA2.kext/file://localhost/System/Library/Extensions/ATTOExpressSASHBA.kext/file://localhost/System/Library/Extensions/ATTOExpressPCI4.kext/file://localhost/System/Library/Extensions/ATTOCelerityFC8.kext/file://localhost/System/Library/Extensions/ATTOCelerityFC.kext/

Star1 · Answer

Hi,ATTO makes SCSI &amp; RAID cards (besides other add-ons), I have one in my G4 Mac...

WZZZ · Answer

Not sure what "but do they look like anything familiar?" is supposed to mean. Obviously, they&#x27;re all associated with the ATTO, which I&#x27;d just completely uninstall for now.Can you leave the Drobo unmounted long enough to see if the KPs stop? It does appear to be something amiss with graphics. I&#x27;d run the Hardware Test in Extended. Might run it a few times. It&#x27;s not a very good diagnostic tool, so getting a pass isn&#x27;t all that meaningful, but if you get an error it can be trusted. But if Apple ran their diagnostics for a few days, I don&#x27;t think this  poor cousin will turn anything up.That they ran their diagnostics and it came up clean would suggest it&#x27;s something software related. That&#x27;s why these two kexts and their related programs might be the culprits. I don&#x27;t think Apple would have been able to go into this the way you can at home.http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509Can you find what Graphics card this Mac uses? Open System Profiler from the   menu. Maybe there are known problems with that.

WZZZ · Answer

I&#x27;m seeing the last of those 3 models, if that&#x27;s what you have, has the NVIDEA GeForce GT130 and I found this very long thread, which details graphics related KPs involving that chipset. Very long thread and haven&#x27;t read it through.https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3938355?start&#x3D;0&amp;tstart&#x3D;0

MacSinceMySE · Answer

Thanks WZZZ.  That thread seemed to be what I&#x27;m going through with the exception of the strange graphics.  I just get the panic or grey screen, but very similar.  I&#x27;m going to try some stress testing to see if I can predictably warm things up and get the crash.  Is so then I might have to go the direction of a hardware fix.
