Kernel Panic at startup

Good evening everyone.


A week ago i've installed a new copy of Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1) on my MacBook.

Everything work fine until i activated FileVault. Previously the system started without any problems but now i get one or more Kernel Panics in the starting phase.

The same error also occurred in the old installation of Mac OS X 10.8.1, for this reason, I've reinstalled OS X.


After the system has restarted properly (usually after one or two attempts) appears an error report from OS X with the following content:

I do not know why these errors could occur, maybe you even have any idea what that might be.

So, I've checked the disk for errors, here were also found several errors. These have been successfully repaired but already at the next reboot a new kernel panic occurred. When I compare the two error reports I can't see any difference.

By the way, I get the following screen when my problem occurs:


User uploaded file


As proposed in the links above, I try to run the system without external devices for a while.


I announce myself again when the next reboot panics again...

Dec 27, 2012 2:40 PM in response to iMovie95

Being that it was the Power Management kext that was last loaded, I might try resetting PRAM and SMC. I don't think I've ever heard of a KP caused by those. Usually it just won't boot.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379


Note that the Apple KB article (baltwo's first post) on KPs suggest installing onto and external and trying to boot from that. I would start with baltwo's suggestion of reinstalling, then try the external.

Dec 28, 2012 6:25 AM in response to iMovie95

All right, resetting PRAM and SMC changed nothing, I'll try reinstalling OS X now. Here's my last panic, just a few minutes ago:

I've compared all Panics together and everytime another kext was listed as last loaded. For example, com.apple.driver.XsanFilter or at another panic, com.apple.driver.AppleUSBEHCI.

I have the exact same symtom on a Macbook Pro. The backtrace, kext, and kernel version are the same as the original poster's. My OS install was a fresh install (i.e. not an upgrade).

Good evening and happy new year everyone.


Well, currently I'm working again under OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I've tried to reinstall Mointain Lion once more time and again the same problem. Now I installed everything from my included System Discs and currently I'm

re-downloading Mountain Lion OS X Lion from the Mac App Store... By the way, the system runs under Snow Leopard again as desired. I can't post my last Panic, I've forgot to save it before formating my Hard Disk.

I'll contact you when I'm working with Mountain Lion again.

As far as I can remember the problem doesn't occurs by an update installation from Snow Leopard to Lion to Mountain Lion.

Hello everybody!



I want to ask if something new is revealed. Since I no longer needed FileVault and left it off, there wasn't any problems. Today I re-enabled it because i've need my MacBook on Monday for my seminar. Well, I've re-enabled FileVault and barely the system reboots, the problems are back! On the first boot. Meanwhile, I have a new hard drive. Even then, the problems still exist. It makes driving me nuts!

Here is the panic-log:

Meanwhile, I am firmly convinced the problem is in OS X. Only since 10.8.2! With 10.8.1 it was still working!

Should I send a bug report to Apple?

Yes. File a bug report with Apple. If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, bypassing marketing and sales, send a bug report (or an enhancement request) via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your report or request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering and you'll be able to track its status.


Additionally, contact Apple support and see what they say. I never use FileVault with my desktop machines and don't have any portables, so can't address that issue.
