yonyz Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hi, I've installed OS X Leopard 10.5.4 yesterday, on my PC of course, and I've had 2 kernel panics so far, and they both occurred randomly - once when using Finder, and once when browsing the internet with Chrome. The weird thing is that there seems to be no PanicReporter folder in my Library/Logs folder. Just Hang logs, which are not what I'm looking for. So how do I find the root cause of my kernel panics, without having them logged? Perhaps logging is disabled right now, and I can enable it somehow? Thanks in advance.

oldtopman Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Did it display text when it kernel panicked? If so a snapshot of that would be nice. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/218178-random-kernel-panics/#findComment-1473366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memorial Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Non-mac hardware cannot log kernel panics in general (need NVRAM). You have to see them as they arrive. When you boot, or to your com.apple.Boot.plist add "debug=0x100" without quotation marks. This will disable the graphic and display the action panic details on the screen. Take a good picture and post it. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/218178-random-kernel-panics/#findComment-1474555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuoWing Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 My issues is kind of related to this. I have a Dell Inspiron 1420. I managed to install iAtkos v7 on it. I'm running a triple boot system with Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.04, and Mac OS X(what I'm on right now). Anyway it'll randomly get kernel panics when booting. I haven't encountered a kernel panic while using the OS yet, but sometimes it'll kernel panic while booting and freeze my computer. I'll restart it and try again using the -v and -f options exactly like I did when it froze and now it won't kernel panic and startup. Any advice on what I need to look at for a clue as to what the issue is?

Memorial Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 You look at the KP trace that gets printed on the screen if you boot debug=0x100 like I advised.

andypl85 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Sorry for offtopic, I need file AppelRTC.kext for 10.5.7 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/218178-random-kernel-panics/#findComment-1477187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 google LegacyAppleRTC.kext - or patch your RTC device in DSDT and never worry about it again. The fix is simple, just find your RTC device in DSDT and change 0x04 to 0x02.
