MacFeast Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 My systen keeps crashing on me (see http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=5969) and I really want to find out the error. But how can I see it when all I get is a nice-looking picture telling me in like four languages that the system has crashed? When all I want is an ugly stack-trace with an error message in english. Is that possible? Otherwise it will be hard to find the cause....

phb Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>debug=0x14e</string> Try something like that in your /Library/Preferences/SystemPreferences/com.apple.Boot.plist (For more info on the debug flags, peek at developer.apple.com) /Johan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5973-find-out-the-cause-of-a-bsodkernel-panic/#findComment-37625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacFeast Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 OK thanks, but how do I do this from the command line (the Boot.plist is on a DVD disc!)? EDIT: Found the PDF on developer.apple.com now. The correct command line syntax is mach_kernel debug=0x14e. I'ts a simple as that Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5973-find-out-the-cause-of-a-bsodkernel-panic/#findComment-37649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phb Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 ah, yes. I Though you had a install already with random crashes, then it's nice to set it in the Boot.plist as it'll be activated at all times. /Johan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5973-find-out-the-cause-of-a-bsodkernel-panic/#findComment-37710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacFeast Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hopefully it will be stable by then. But that's wishful thinking I guess....
