Use a different kernel. Once you find the stable one, install the same version System.kext as the kernel.

Okey, Do I need to reinstall mac os x all over or can I change the kernel and system.kext ?

I have iatkos v7

 

Thanks

No, not at all. Just install another kernels. You have a working system, so it must be relatively easy. Download a kernel corresponding to your version of OS X (10.5.5 or any newer/older) and install it. Depending on kernel distribution form - zip file with the kernel itself or installer. I would recommend AnV kernel. If it is a zip file use terminal to install it

sudo -s
cp -R /Path/To/kernel/kernel /
chmod -R 644 /kernel_name
chown -R root:wheel /kernel_name

 

Now test the new kernel by booting to it via boot flags. F8>-v kernel_name . Once you are sure the system is working OK, copy the included System.kext to /S/L/E

sudo -s
rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext
rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
cp -R /Path/To/System/kext/System.kext /System/Library/Extensions
chmod -R 644 /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext

As usual with you, good intentions + bad advice.

 

tcmiixx:

 

There's some kind of conflict happening with the Ralink ethernet and the USB controller (or connected USB device) and changing the kernel will not make any difference.

 

You can try Slice's patched IOPCIFamily.kext and/or USB drivers (search, they are here on IM).

 

Try changing your BIOS settings for the USB controller (search, see what settings other people use)

 

While you're at it, go through all your BIOS settings.

 

Try the Chameleon 2.0 bootloader with USBBusFix=y in /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist

 

Try unplugging all USB devices and see if the problem goes away

 

Try DSDT patching of your USB devices

 

Try other drivers for the Ralink ethernet device or try different hardware. If it's a PCI card, plug it into another PCI slot. If it's an USB device, try another USB port.

 

If it's an IRQ conflict (I don't think is is but who knows) a good old CMOS reset (see your motherboard manual) can sometimes cure it.

Okey, Thanks Guys, I will try it when it happens again. Thanks for reply:D

I see... Better be silent then helpful

I've had same KP some time ago, so changing kernel did solved the problem in my case. So my advice is based on that experience.

Okay. Well then what can I say, hope you didn't take offense.

 

To me, the kernel panic clearly shows that the problem is with his Ralink and USB hardware.

How do I fix that problem?

Are you serious, I already suggested several things you can try.
