Random System Crashes

[Nargilem]

Hi,

 

My system experiences random crashes when heavily using the harddrive ( mostly with transmission / Vuze when they're checking the harddisk for files, but also just random crashes )

Tried booting -v, -f, -s.. no result.

 

Boot with debug=0x100 gave me this beautiful crash report.

Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependecies):
com.apple.iokit.IOATABlockStorage(2.0.3)@0x5b2b2000->0x5b2bffff

com.apple.iokit.IOATAFamily(1.7.3f1)@0x5acda000->0x5ace6fff

 

Since this is a dependency problem, here's my kextstat output.

I updated to 10.5.4 using ASU, all worked fine. I'm on the 9.4.0 modbin kernel.

For system specs, see my sig.

 

If any more info is needed, please ask me.

 

I hope anyone has a clue, since this is _really_ annoying.

 

Cheers

I got similar problems with Transmission after the 10.5.4 update but mine are less random. Whenever i turn the speed limit back off, after having it on for an hour or more, Transmission immediately hangs and 90% of the time locks up the os (sometimes i can sneek in a force quit), requiring a force shutdown. I never experienced this with 10.5.0 - 10.5.3. It kinda blows but I love Transmission and don't care for Vuze, so hopefully its a bug that'll be addressed in Transmission's next update. Anyone else with a similar problem or ideas?

[leafofsummer]

nope...fine here, no crash whatsoever...

1. Possibility

the Nvidia kexts interfer with the Nforce kexts ( some 0&0ffffff endings in the pci match)

( has been discussed here earlier, if you properly edit the info.plist with your card ID and delete the 0&0ffff endings it could help)

 

2. Sata, ATA, Atapi,

Apple uses AHCI mode for SATA Drives ( besides ATA for DVD)

i experienced in 10.5.4 only AHCI works without errors ( ioata blocking was my special case)

 

3. i had transmission errors with too much connections, but my connection ( modem) went away, not the pc.

[Nargilem]

First solution didn't work.

I also tried removing nvkush and install nvinject instead.. same problem.

I also tried reinstalling, same problem..

 

Could you be a bit more specific on the second solution?

 

It also panics when I use Vuze, but Transmission makes it panic more often.. weird.

 

Thanks for the help anyway

Installing Leo4All v3 fixed this..
