brenden1096 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi. I've been trying to figure this out for quite awhile now but it seems like I can't figure out an solution for this issue. I've been using Linux lately to figure out why OS X Snow Leopard keeps kernel panicing. When I first install OS X Snow Leopard and run it for the first time it runs fine until I restart (or start it up a second time) and after a little bit it kernel panics and I cannot not just boot the kernel directly I first have to boot into single user mode and then mount the file system (mount -yw /; exit;) or something along those lines. I've been using the nawcom install method so it is using the Legacy Kernel for which it uses for Snow Leopard 1.6.3. I've been wondering if its an issue with the kernel version that its using on 1.6.3 or whatever versions the Legacy Kernel comes with on the cd if its used on a newer version of Snow Leopard. My computer specifications is attached to this post (sysinfo). sysinfo.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIMMAYOSX Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 The logs from your OS X install will probably help more. You should have complete bootup logs in /var/log on your OS X disk. (Linux should be able to mount it without issues). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenden1096 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Ok. I will post logs again and etc once I reinstall OS X again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenden1096 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 I finally got a chance to update now it seems like the issue is solved the Legacy Kernel wasn't the correct version for 1.6.3 so upgrading right away as soon as i booted into OS X to 1.6.5 with a correct version of the Legacy Kernel for the version of OS X solved the kernel panics it seemed like.
