Kernel panic connecting USB devices after sleeping/awakening on a real Mac

[brunosky]

Hello,

I have a Mac Pro 1,1 (now 2,1) and I'm a very satisfied user of Chameleon.

Everything is working great, apart from a problem that happens only after putting my Mac to sleep and awakening it: if I connect an external USB device (audio, pen drive, iPhone, etc.), I experience a kernel panic.

No problem if I don't put the Mac to sleep.

I've recently updated to 10.8.3, the Sleep function works well, but the problem I had before, with 10.8.2, persists: after connecting any USB device, my Mac freezes.

The only difference is that now I don't see anymore the grey screen of death, but the frozen desktop.

 

Anyone can help?

 

Mac Pro 1,1, with 2 Intel X5355, 16 GB of RAM, upgraded EFI and SMC firmware (so now 2,1 and 1.15f3), booting in 64 bit mode using Chameleon bootloader, and following the Jabbawok's method.

 

Thanks for your attention!

If you go into the console can you find out what exactly is causing the crash?

I can only see this message from Chameleon:

 

message of kernel panic from Chameleon: can someone understand it?

 

I'm getting crazy with my Mac Pro 1,1 (now 3,1) for a problem that in certain moments seems solved, and then inexplicably returns.

After putting the Mac to sleep and then awakening it, when it comes the moment to connect a USB device it freezes.

Below you can find the message I receive from Chameleon booting in verbose mode, and I hope that someone can help me to understand the reason.

Thanks a lot

Finally I solved the problem with a clean installation of the system!  

Now, after 3 weeks, I can cry Victory without the fear that it's too soon.

Anyway it's important that I boot Chameleon with the boot flag -f and using Kernel cache:

   <key>Kernel Flags</key>
   <string>-f</string>
   <key>UseKernelCache</key>
   <string>Yes</string>

Thanks
