Hi

 

sorry for not answering you earlier.

 

ok here is the problem you have.

 

SATA HDD's will give you what we call: device blovking bus wich causes you sysem to freeze.

10.4.7 has the AppleVIAATA.kext modified so it sees SATA HDD's at native installation.

I also had this problem and since i bought an ATA HDD, my system never froze ever ever again.

 

You said that you have updated your kernel, and you think this might be your problem. Have you ever had your system freezing before updating? Note, that evem one freeze is enough.

 

Answer me first, then I will give you one method for observing the errors of your system, so we can see if it's really the HDD wich is cousing the system to freeze or it's just your kernel crashes.

 

Waiting for reply.

For your question i don't know because i have just do the install for testing mac osx on my machine, i have tested my hard disk with powermax by maxtor and he says my hard drive is ok?

 

You're sure it's the AppleVIAATA.kext? jas install DVD 10.4.8 doesn't have the AppleVIAATA.kext modified?

Make sure to disable all of the sleep options, including the hard disks..
