x1a0 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I've successfully installed Lion 10.7.2 on my PC and all devices are working well (I guess). However sometimes my OSX86 dies - A grey box pops up and show some error messages in different languages - I bet you saw it before It happens randomly - could up to several times in a day. I think there might be more than one problem caused that. So my question is: "Where can I check into it? Should I check some system logs and what should I look for specifically?" Thanks!

Foxic Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Boot in verbose mode (-v), the kernel panic will be printed to your display.

nyolc8 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I think you didn't get it... If you boot in verbose mode, then the error message will printed on the display when the kernel panic happens (not only in the boot process). So boot in verbose, run osx in that mode and wait for the error message. You will get more information then.
