Kernel panic after updating to Mountain Lion 10.8.2

On a sample machine can you boot into safe mode, run the usual disk verification/repair permissions and then use the 10.8.2 Combo updater to reinstall the update.

Do this at the machine not through ARD.

The OS as been running less than a second, it probably has not finished loading completely, thats maybe why the OS version not yet set. The last loaded kext was the CPU power management, although that was at approx 0.2 seconds well before the crash at 0.9 seconds. Anything special about your power management system?

Other than that I can only suggest a reinstall of the OS

I am not good at kernel panics so thats the best I can do.

I have this problem, too (MacBook 6.1).

Sometimes the last loaded kext is com.apple.driver.AppleAHCIPort, sometimes com.apple.driver.CoreStorageFsck.

If the issue occurs, a few kernel-lines are visible during boot and the MB will restart itself. After that, I get the Apple error-reporting dialog.

All issues are there since update to 10.8.2 😟

Same problem here, kernel panics during login after installing 10.8.2. I just reinstalled the combo update but got the next kernel panic on reboot.

Thing is: When I used cmd+R, disk utility showed the name of my SSD grayed out, so I couldn't verify/repair there. Disk Utility when logged in normally however showed no problems. I also cannot boot in safe mode (aborts after 30-50% progress) and had to use the original system DVD to be able to run the Apple Hardware Test. Swapped memory today, still problem occurs.

My log looks very similar to the original post (see end of post). However, I also had

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff801d6b7bd5): Kernel trap at 0xffffff7f9dd19a72, type 12=stack bounds, registers:

Any ideas how to track this down? Clean install will a) cost a lot of time and b) seems like ignoring whatever the cause might be...

Hey, thanks for the quick reply : ) Gosh, you have to double-click on the gray entry to mount it... never would have thought of that. All checks green though...

**** it... when I did the clean install of ML, it took me 2-3 days just to get the whole system back up working. So I'm really hoping a clean install can be avoided somehow. But I agree, feels like software bug otherwise it would be a pretty big coincident that it happened just a day or so after I upgraded to 10.8.2... just my luck. I also have the "your battery time if halfed"-problem a lot of people are reporting since upgrading to mountain lion...

Ok, As I said before kernel panics not my thing.

The panic is at Kernel trap at 0xffffff7f9dd19a72, this appears to be in com.apple.NVSMU. I think but not sure that it is the NVidia driver, but that may not help much.

Have you tried resetting the SMC and PRAM?

Afer that you would be better starting a new thread.

Since I have updated to 10.8.2 I am getting kernel panics. It is the first time, that I get them and I have never ever had problems with my mbp15 (2010 or 11?). It feels like the kernel panics do come more and more often. They just appear out of nothing. Sometimes when I do something with the Finder and sometimes when I use Safari. I add a crash report, maybe you can help me. I just tried to install the combo update, but the result is the same.

hope you can help me!

thanks, tom

The second of the panic logs shows a panic caused by Little Snitch; uninstall it or find a version compatible with 10.8.2.

Hi William,

I would have said suspect Little Snitch for being a 3rd party piece of software and worth taking out of the system to eliminate it.

I am interested in how you identified the software has the cause of the crash. I can see it in the loaded kexts but not in the backtrace, I can see mainly NVidia drivers, Graphics and IO in there.

On one other point is the number listed with the kext, in this case 3871 a version number or a memory offset? It looks like it could be a version number but that is a guess.

Any help appreciated, I know it is not my area of expertise but I am interested.

Thanks

It's largely based on experience.

To be honest, this particular panic was indeed NVidia-related, but it's always good to remove third party kexts like LS before seeing if the issue can be reproduced.

Thank you.
