Kernel Panic on 10.9.2 (2013 MBA i7)

Do the panics stop when you disconnect the external display?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.

Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.

I have the very same issue with my MacBook Air (same specs as yours, 2013 i7) and using Mavericks. I use an external monitor on a day-to-day basis and I use Google Chrome.

I took my laptop to the Genius Bar just this past weekend. They removed everything in the LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons folders. They also ran a hardware test and everything was fine. The Kernel Panics still happen though, in fact I just had one, but they happen randomly. No real pattern on when they happen, or at least not one that I can detect...

Any ideas?

Amit

Ich have the same problem.

The Air 11" (german model) have the same specs (i7, 8GB RAM, 256 SSD).

The kernel panic have the same entrys.

Is this a hardware defect (graphiccard) or a software problem? My MacOS version is 10.9.2.

The problem came sometimes, not everytime at disconnect the DisplayPort-cable. But yesterday the problem also came after the sleep mode with connected cabe. I could not wake up the air with the keyboard, but with opening the airs own display. The result was the same kernel panic.

I have:

Reset the SMC

Reset the PRAM

Reinstalled the OS without the complete user data from time machine

What can i do next?

@Shehrammajid

What third-party programs you had on the old system installed?

@Xadomir: I noticed that @Shehrammajid had NoSleep installed with this line:

com.protech.NoSleep 1.3.3

Do you have that too? I know I did, although I had stopped using the application a long time ago. I'm basically going to go program by program through my Console and try to eliminate one by one until the problem stops.

Last night I eliminated NoSleep, so I'll give it a few days before I make the decision of whether that was the problem or not.

When you remove NoSleep, make sure to use the uninstall script that came with the application and not simply deleting the application.

Amit

Travel stop.

Uninstall VirtualBox, uninstall Nosleep, uninstall Globaldelight Boombox.

Make sure that the kext files are gone, then restart.

Issue should be away now.

@LexSchellings: Unlike @Shehrammajid, I don't think I have Globaldelight Boombox and VirtualBox installed (although I will verify this when I leave work). I did uninstall NoSleep and made sure the kext files were gone, so I'll see if that fixes the issue.

Thanks for your response!

I am travelling, I will come back later. You don't need any Protech software.

Good result.

Ah okay, i see i have a little bit other options in the kernel log. The head is the same but i have other programms in the lines down. I have not the NoSleep application.

I have a lot more other third party programs:

Adobe Dreamweaver, Battle.net (Diablo 3), calibre, FileZilla, FireFox, gimp, Google Chrome, Google Drive, KeePassX, LibreOffice, LittleSnitch, Microsoft Remote Desktop (AppStore), Opera, Paragon NTFS, RightZoom, SABnzbp+, SteelSeriesExtractMouse Tool, TeamViewer, TextWrangler, The Unarchiver (AppStore), TorBrowser, TrueCrypt, uTorrent, VirtualBox,VLC, VNC Viewer, windows Phone (AppStore), XAMPP, XtraFinder

Edit: I forgort Adium.

... I'am done. 🙂

Currently I test my system in safe mode.

Again: I come back later, a quick glance: LittleSnitch is counterproductive, uninstall. uTorrent a 'risk' app. Unistall all apps that you may have downloaded wth uTorrent, I come back on this tonight.

You have a lot of software that I don't want to have on my mac 👿.

There are 7 kexts that each can cause the panics:

com.paragon-software.filesystems.ntfs

com.github.osxfuse.filesystems.osxfusefs

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetAdp

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetFlt

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxUSB

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv

at.obdev.nke.LittleSnitch

I propose to definitive uninstallation of LittleSnitch and of OSXFuse and Paragon-NTFS.

Then I propose to uninstall Virtualbox, unless there is a very good reason not to.

Then Restart the machine and Empty the Trash, and run an etrecheck list.

Follow-up should be to uninstall some 'exotic' software, incompatible software, unnecessary software, crippling software and so on. If you are ready for that we go through your list that you gave above.

I just experienced a Kernel Panic and I don't have a single non "com.apple.*" kext. It would sure be nice to understand why this is happening. I'm not sure if there is any connection, but this happened after I watched something on my external monitor and then disconnected my external and used my laptop without the external monitor....

Below are my loaded kexts:
