Kernel panic (maybe because of filevalut 2 ??)

Hello, few weeks ago I started to get kernel panic at boot. It happens 2-3 times per week. I didn't notice any other problems with my mac. When system is running everythink is ok and I never get kernel panic. This happens only during boot, immediately after I put password to my drive crypted by filevalut 2. I don't know if the filevalut is the reason but I started to get this kernel panics week after I crypted my drive. I tried reinstall my system to fresh crypted partition but it doesn't help. Do you think that filevalut can be a reason of this ?? I noticed from logs that every time it looks like different error (Last loaded kext is every time different).

Here are log information from console (I have only this one for now because I reinstall system)

Decrypt the volume and see whether the panics stop.

Why are you booting 2-3 times per week? How old is this computer? I have found that notebook hard drives have a tendency to start failing at or around 3 years of age.

Most people would say they know it is possible to turn it off every day, but then ask why.

If i remove power adapter than during night i loose 10% off battery and I don't want to let my computer still pluged in electricity.

Why not? Don't buy that 2nd cup of coffee today and with all that extra expense, you will still be money ahead for the year.

You didn't answer the question about how old your machine is. Hard drives are mechanical (well some of them) and they wear out (all of them). Turning your computer off and on every day is that much more taxing. Chances are your hard drive is failing.

The panics are not caused by third-party software. You seem to have ruled out system corruption as the cause. That leaves only hardware failure and an OS bug as possilibilities. The last panic suggests that your hard drive is malfunctioning, or has malfunctioned recently. You can try any or all of the following:

Run the Apple Hardware Test.
Erase the volume and restore from a backup.
Take the machine to an Apple Store for testing.

My macbook is 3 years old, so it could be this problem too but I don't see reason for that. I had few notebooks before and everyone of them is still working and they are 5 year old and more. So I am asking myself why to pay for expensive macbook if it's worst quality like cheap MSI od ASUS laptops.

And I don't think that if you turn of your macbook it's worst for hardrive because if you put it to sleep, hard drive is turned of too, (stop rotating, parking reading heads etc.)

Thanks for information, I will try apple hardware test, but I don't have my snow leopard CD with me. I will look for it on web or I will test it when I return home after two weeks. Erasing volume is good idea but I did it and it didn't help.

Apple doesn't make the hard drive. I just replace them at the first sign of trouble. It is the quickest, easiest, and cheapest repair you can do.

ok, thank's I will check behavior with decrypted drive and if kernel panic didn't stop i will think about replacement. I was thinking about SSD so it will give me a reason to buy it. And I hope apple hw test will help, but I will try it next week.

After few weeks of testing without FileValut 2 everything is working perfect. So problem is only in OS X Mountain Lion. It's sad that apple forgets to older machines and new system is optimized only for new Macbooks.

Mountain Lion is irrelevant. FileVault is going to be more stress on the hard drive. Plus you are booting up every day which is very stressful. Your hard drive is simply worn out. Get a new one.

So it should be some specific problem with this model, but is definetely not hw related because everything is working ok after i turned filevalut off
