Kernel Panic
I have been having issues with my 12" PB having random kernel panic events. A few weeks back I consulted apple care and we determined that the best course would be to "archive and install" or "erase and install". I did an archive and install first to maintain my account settings.
That didn't work, as the kernel panics started again. I then performed an erase and install after finding that there were no issues with my hardware after running Techtool Deluxe. A short time after my erase and install it started randomly hanging again... I think usually after it goes into sleep mode, but I can't pinpoint it to that.
In any event, today I ran disk utility. I booted from the tiger DVD and ran disk utility, repar disk. It failed to complete the repair giving the following:
------------------------------
"invalid extent entry"
"Volume check failed"
------------------------------
I ran disk utility again, this time booted into OSX. I ran the verify disk for grins. This was the result:
------------------------------
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid extent entry
Invalid extent entry
Incorrect size for file libform.5.4.dylib
(It should be 0 instead of 1095216660480)
Incorrect block count for file info.nib
(It should be 0 instead of 16711680)
%)
Invalid extent entry
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
)
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Incorrect number of Extended Attributes
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
-------------------------------
Does this mean that my drive is failing? I've been told that I may "have a hardware issue triggering your directory to fail, though the hard drive can't be discounted as a problem either."... Thanks A Brody
I have not called called apple care again as of yet. I'm afraid that I may have to send the machine in. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
