sid. Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hey! this is my first post here but have been lurking around for a while now. This forum has been a great deal of help to get my osx86 installation up and running. My hardware: Intel Core i7 950 (Not overclocked) Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Rev2.0 3x2GB Corsair 1600MHz Triple Channel Memory XFX HD5770 1GB M-Audio Audiophile 192 All my hardware is detected and works properly. Ok, now my problem: I have 10.6.8 with Chimera v1.4.1 r877 from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. Whenever my computer is idle, I get these restart messages. As in I dont see the KP log on the screen in case of a KP but just the "Hold button to restart" message. It happens randomly and only when the computer is idle. I've never got the message while I was still working. As in I would leave the computer on at night only to find that message on the screen when i wake up. Now, I've tried a lot of fixes already but no use. I tried changing the DSDT.aml, using 32bit, disabling C-States in bios, changed HPET, tried uninstalling a few apps, tried booting from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] instead but still no use. I always get the message when the computer is idle and it happens after some time of inactivity. I really cannot figure out the problem now. This affects the stability of the system cause everything else is perfect but I cant rely on the system to do something when am not there. For ex: If i leave the computer on with a transfer through Transmission going on then too I'l get the restart message after I stop using the computer for some time. Please help me, I'm stumped! I really need to get this issue sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noam AA Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 if you boot with -v (verbose) then you will see the KP message,and not the "restart" message, it's obviously a kernel panic, so you need to figure what's panic,maybe M-audio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid. Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 I did try booting with -v before posting but the panic was'nt quite clear. Anyways, I searched some more and found out that my LAN driver could be the issue. I was using the official driver from Realtek but today I switched to Lnx2Mac's Realtek81xx drivers. I've had mailtab and menu weatherlite running for about 5 hours today, usually I would get a KP (probably a bunch of em') but I did'nt. So am guessing the drivers could really be the issue. Tonite am gonna leave Transmission on with a transfer going on, I hope to see everything fine in the morning. I report my findings tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
