brandnoobian Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 i've searched and read other threads about kernel panics, but i'm still having problems. first, i was planning on trying to build my own hackintosh from scratch, but i ended up buying one for pretty cheap off of craigslist. i kind of regret doing this because i don't know too much on how this one was built, but there's nothing i can do about it now. here are my current specs: OS: OS X 10.5.8 (updated from 10.5.7) CPU: Intel E5200 Dual-Core Processor @ 3.3GHz RAM: 2x 1GB DDR2 HDD: Western Digital 320GB SATA2 7200RPM VGA: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB that's about all that i know about this hack, and that it uses darwinx86 to boot. every once in awhile i'll get a kernel panic while watching something with vlc player, but for the most part it runs fine. however, i keep getting kernel panics when i'm using ableton live 8, and i also get kernel panics pretty often when watching videos on youtube. i've tried running osx86 tools and checking everything in the system maintenance, but it's not helping. is there a way to find out why i keep getting kernel panics when using ableton live? anyone know of a way to fix this? any help or info would be much appreciated.

ameris_cyning Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 What kind of install did you do? Retail or Distro? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/203003-keep-getting-kernel-panics/#findComment-1363588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandnoobian Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 i'm not exactly sure because i bought this pre-made. my other music programs usually work fine. i'll get a kernel error with the other programs every once in awhile, but for some reason i always get them with ableton. i can maybe use the program for 10min at most and i'll get a kernel error.

Lord_Jeremy Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Can you figure out what type of motherboard or audio it has? My guess is your audio kext is flaky.

brandnoobian Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 it has an asrock motherboard. i'm not at home right now so i'm not sure exactly which model. for audio i use an emu 0404 usb audio interface (link) could it be that the original audio kext is causing problems?

brandnoobian Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 here's what i see in the osx86kextbackup folder: -VoodooHDA.kext -ALCinject.kext -HDAEnabler.kext -NVInject.kext -AppleUSBEHCI.kext -IOATAFamily.kext -AppleUSBUHCI.kext -AppleUSBOHCI.kext -AppleHDA.kext will deleting applehda.kext possibly solve my problem?

Lord_Jeremy Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hey, sorry to get back to you so late. (Took a bit of a holiday hiatus.) It's probably worth a shot to try moving that AppleHDA kext somewhere else and rebooting. In truth, I don't know exactly what that kext is all about. I haven't heard much of anything about it. Also, you could try searching for a newer version of VoodooHDA. I used to have pops and clicks in my audio that went away when I got the latest version. Be careful that whichever version you find isn't only for Snow Leopard. A good place to start would be here.
