stuppy_ Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hi I am having an issue with me Hackintosh. Firstly - what I am doing at the time:- - iTunes is running and is playing music - I am using other applications such as Illustrator and/or Coda. - Have Firefox and Mail open. So I am working away - and boom - the system locks up. Until now, it has just been a hard system lock - screen freezes and the audio just loops itself every half a second. If this is a kernel panic, there is no debugging information on the screen as is usually present. Only way for me to get the system back up is to hard-reset. Today however, I did get the kernel panic debugging information. I didn't take a picture of what it said as I didn't realise the KP wouldn't log to console. All I remember is there was a reference to Firefox in there. Why Firefox would cause a KP - I do not know. I have my suspicions that there is something wrong with the audio set up. I think this because a) I have never had a crash where the audio would loop in the background while the screen just freezes and I have seen this error in the console a few times - I can't recall if it was every time the system hard locked. 13/06/2013 15:21:34.960 iTunes[4268]: _NotificationSocketReadCallbackGCD (thread 0x7fff79e41180): Unexpected connection closure... 13/06/2013 15:21:34.962 ath[4282]: _NotificationSocketReadCallbackGCD (thread 0x7fff79e41180): Unexpected connection closure... 13/06/2013 15:25:15.116 iTunes[4268]: _NotificationSocketReadCallbackGCD (thread 0x7fff79e41180): Unexpected connection closure... 13/06/2013 15:25:15.117 ath[4276]: _NotificationSocketReadCallbackGCD (thread 0x7fff79e41180): Unexpected connection closure... 13/06/2013 15:27:14.430 iTunes[4268]: _NotificationSocketReadCallbackGCD (thread 0x7fff79e41180): Unexpected connection closure... 13/06/2013 15:27:14.432 ath[4276]: _NotificationSocketReadCallbackGCD (thread 0x7fff79e41180): Unexpected connection closure... For the record - I am using the non-DSDT method of that beast app for ALC898 (I know we're not to support that software - sorry). Does anyone have any advice or suggestions to as to what can be causing these crashes? I am going to use the computer without iTunes for a few days. See if it crashes at all. Thanks Sorry I forgot to say, This has only just started in the last couple of weeks and it has only done it a handful of times. I am sure my computer had been on 10.8.3 for a while before it started. I have just upgraded to 10.8.4 hoping that had sorted it. Incidentally - this is the first time it has done it since updating to 10.8.4 along with the first time I have the KP debug information.
