makisupa Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I want to talk about random KPs for a second. I am referring to when you've booted SL, you've been working for awhile, and then (out of no where).....a KP. Booting back into SL and checking console.app isn't very revealing. I'm sure everyone has plenty there, but in my case there is nothing relevant. There is certainly nothing at the moment of KP that would suggest a smoking gun. Sometimes this happens under load, and sometime it happens when things are relatively idle. I am using a GA-ep35-ds3l. Using chameleon, kexts provided by blackosx (and his installation method), and a DSDT.aml for sound, lan, and graphics. By all accounts this is a very clean install. I have rebuilt kext caches. Is it necessary to do this after installing apps that use kernel mods (vmware fusion)? If so, how does a normal mac handle this? I've also seen some speculate that the install should be performed from a drive running SL (this appears in more than one thread). My question is, why? If its a permissions issue upon install causing the panic should we not be able to fix that? SHould we not be seeing something in the console.app logs (perm errors)? I guess I'm looking for a more empirical answer here.... --Mak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
