pet1 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I've been getting this kernel panic for about 6 months or so. This happens only after my computer has been on just around 4 days. Could be just under or just over. It behaves just fine. Sleep and daily usage etc.. Sorry for the blurry pictures. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WhatTheTech Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hey pet1, I would highly suggest either taking better pictures or typing out the kernel panic - that first image has important numbers that are too blurry to read. That panic call line is the most important and is the most difficult to read... Maybe try and catch it again/decipher it for us?

pet1 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thanks for the prompt reply. The caller is 0xffffff8000020e234 "zalloc: \"buf.8192\ " (2995 elements) retry fail 3, kfree_map_count : 0"@/SourceCache/xnu-1504.15.3/osfmk/kern/zalloc.c:992 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287290-kernel-panic-precisely-after-4-days/#findComment-1899748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Is process responsible always quicklookd? Were you previewing any files without opening them via spacebar, using coverflow view in Finder, or spotlight's preview when this happened? Only occur with 10.6.8 or also 10.6.7?

pet1 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 No it happens with any process. It's random but the panic is the same. Only happens on this setup with 10.6.8.

pet1 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Anyone else have any insight? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287290-kernel-panic-precisely-after-4-days/#findComment-1900393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskantraveler Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Nope. I shut mine down completely every night. Shut down the computer, then power off the power strip to shutdown monitors and external drives.

pet1 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks, but I would leave the power strip on. Devices will constantly reset themselves if I did that.
