friedymeister89 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I've been running my system for a few months now and it seems that VLC and Transmission might be causing kernel panics. Recently, my computer has been crashing much more frequently than before, several times a day. My specs are (Running Kalyway 10.5.2 with video drivers from DVD): Gigabyte P35-DS3R Intel Q6600 stock Patriot 2x 2gb PC1066 DDR2 Ram 2x 74gb Raptors 1x Samsung Spinpoint 1tb hard drive 1x WD 250gb IDE HD 1x IDE DVD burner Diamond Radeon HD 3870 512mb Coolmax 500watt power supply Is it possible that the power supply is causing the crashes? This is the log from my console: 7/17/08 12:01:09 PM Google Notifier[194] .sdef error: Operation could not be completed.

westwaerts Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 "Error getting a reference to IODeviceTree:/options " seems to be your error, run your devices in sata ahci mode, jmicron is a very unstable driver on osx and go for a sata dvd Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116229-kernal-panics-help-required/#findComment-823054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
friedymeister89 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 "Error getting a reference to IODeviceTree:/options " seems to be your error, run your devices in sata ahci mode, jmicron is a very unstable driver on osx and go for a sata dvd I am currently running AHCI. Would there be any reason for me to get a SATA DVD burner if I still have a IDE hard drive? I very rarely use the DVD burner.

thecodecowboy Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I'm also getting these kernel panics. Can anyone confirm if this is definitely a JMicron issue? Are you using the chameleon boot loader? Are you by any chance using a graphics tablet? It would be good to know what IO devices are being referred to - "Error getting a reference to IODeviceTree:/options" Other threads seem to be saying this might be a USB device issue.

thecodecowboy Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Not so far. What applications are you running when it happens? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116229-kernal-panics-help-required/#findComment-841020 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuantumByte Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I am having this problem too.... Anyone got a solution? What is the IODeviceTree:/options problem?

joejoe317 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I'm getting this error, nothing is running except an installer.. Im downloading world of warcraft right now, and that is the only time i have gotten this error... It has happened 16 times since trying to download it.. I have a SATA drive and an IDE... Should i try and install it to the ide drive and see if it persists?
