 kernel[0]: Fixing incorrect zfree from zone kalloc.16 to zone kalloc.32

 

cos of this kext... test it only with AppleIntelE1000e and I did not have this spam in logs... only with  ALXEthernet

 

can you please look at this problem...

Same here:

lots of

...

06.11.13 2:47:39,000 kernel[0]: Fixing incorrect zfree from zone kalloc.16 to zone kalloc.32

...

 

but it only appears when the Messages starts, then network stops working, have to reboot.

 

My system: GA-Z77-DS3H rev. 1.1, Intel Core i7-3770K, Voodoohda 2.8.4, GTX 650 Ti 2Gb, 32 Gb, OS X 10.9 (13A603), Chimera 2.2.1

hi Shailua, happy new year first of all.

 

here is a desired kernel panic to figure out whats happening. 

alx_ethernet_kernelpa67ubq.jpg

 

my system:

mavericks 10.9.1

clover boot 2428

ALXEthernet.kext 1.0.2

FakeSMC.kext 6.0.1057

 

happens when i move large files in the network like 7,4GB

 

please have a look and u can use me as a beta tester for a new version. thanks in advance

Hello Mikhail , thank you very much for the file, i have tried but  when copy large 7 gb file in my server the system freeze(don't see a kernel panic but i think it's), when copy in another server or small file don't freeze...

When load S.O. Windows 7 the copy is all ok...

Your Kext is different but same error..

:(

Thanks a lot Shailua! kext works perfect with my connection 8mb/down - 1mb/up (i tried regular net browsing / downloading etc..)

 

ALXEthernet-1.0.2.zip

 

Mavericks 10.9.1

 

Motherboard : Asrock B85M-ITX

LAN : Qualcomm Atheros AR8171

 

the newer chipset code seems to work very well and it will be nice if it gets updated to be more complete and in par with linux version , anyway thank you, without this i would be stuck now without lan cause mini-itx motherboards dont have much upgradability

I had to use this Kext to get my Ethernet working and, like others, I have had stability issues with it.

 

It's strange, because it doesn't happen all of the time.

 

I downloaded a torrent the other day and it made about 200 connections (Kernel Panic) I rebooted, loaded the same torrent (from the beginning) and it carried on through the whole torrent without a blip.

 

Steam also causes it to panic sometimes too.

 

It only seems to happen when the connection is under load.

I have 80Mbps Down and 20Mbps up.

 

I hope someone manages to get the Atheros chips working better.

The kext posted by Mikhail Opekunov is my finding posted on a russian most popular apple/hackintosh forum (where the famous slice dwelves). It was recompiled by xpamamadeus (or smth like that). It does not have KP, but it has another problem: when you transfer ~7 gb at maximum speed on a local network - the computer reboots instantly (not showing a KP). So if you need extensive lan usage (maybe these restart conditions are more broad) - then it's unusable. I've tested it by connecting my macbook directly and transferrig a 15GB movie. Mikhail Opekunov doesn't have any problems whatsoever, so maybe this kext will suit you also. Anyway it's better than the one in the first post.

 

Here's the original link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p5dhz2bpvf31qfn/ALXEthernet.kext.zip

 

Maybe someone could poke xpamamadeus to investigate this issue, but i doubt he will, since he has the 8151 chip.
