a lot of "death screens"

[urielka]

i got a lot of "death screens"(when it say to shutdown the computer and you can`t do anything).

it happen when:

1.i drag a application to the /Applications folder(but if i do it with the terminal it`s ok)

2.i drag any file from place to place

3.i press the play button on iTunes(might be coz i don`t have a working sound device)

4.delete some file

5.change the volume(it might be coz i don`t have sound device)

6.take out some icon from the dock

and more

what is the problem?(in vmware it`s slow as hell but stable).

my SPECS:

Pentium 4 "Northwood" B 2.4GHZ SSE2 ONLY(WITH MAXXUS v0.4.1 Patch set)

ECS P4VXAD(VIA P4X266A, VIA VT8233A)(http://www.ecsusa.com/aboutUs/r_p4vxad.html)

512MB DDR 266MHZ

GeForce FX5500 OC 256MB

NEC 3520A DVD-RW

LG DVD DRIVE

WD 40G 7200 RPM ATA

500W ATX POWER SUPPLY

 

daedmoo image!

 

by the way; even without any of the SSE3->SSE2 patches it crash

This seems to be a interesting problem.

 

Do you know what version of the oah750d file you are using?

 

Look here for some reference on identifying it:

i will check it now.

other thing:

on which log should i look to see a error that happend on previos boot?

[urielka]

all the files are 0.4v so i have oah750d 0.4v

CoreGraphics 0.4v

libSystem.B.dylib 0.4V

mach_kernel 0.4_1v

(checked with md5)

i think it might be spotlight i heard that it can crash the OS.

is there a way to remove it?

All of the error logs should hold their information until you delete them. So just make note of the time and you should be able to scroll back into the log to see if it recorded any information before it crashed.

 

You may want to wait a few minutes before you reboot so you can distinguish between boot errors and crash errors.

 

 

Another thing, look to see if anyone else is running hardware similar or the same as yours (P4, IDE, & VIA chipset). They may have more insight to this problem.

Since these are kernel panics, chances are there isn't anything at all in the logs hinting at the error. To see the text if the kernel panic, enter debug=0x100 at the Darwin boot prompt. On ppc, this information is also logged, but this doesn't work on x86. This might give you a hint to what is causing these. My panics came from IOUSBFamily.kext, and were probably caused by my (USB) printer (because unplugging it fixed it).

[urielka]

you are right i can`t find logs about the crashes

and where they will be saved?

[urielka]

it`s working!!!!!!!!!!

the problem was AppleAC97AudioVIA(yes it detected my AC97 onboard chip without any problem).

 

it seems that AppleAC97AudioVIA got my vendorID and DeviceID which is:

0x30591106 but in the AppleAC97AudioVIA this ID reffers to a 8237 chip and not to a 8233A chip like so i guess that made some problem with my PC.

 

i found the error with the debug=0x100 option(thx judy!!!) and it says something about a kernel trap (Maybe SSE3 code?) and it get out.

 

i didn`t have working audio with AppleAC97AudioVIA(coz it crashed but it showed in Sys Prefernces->Audio that AC97 is a output device,so i guess i had some kind of support).

 

now i edited AppleAC97...intel... and added my ID and moved the VIA kext to my home(coz even doing -f will load AC97VIA instead of InteliCH...) and i don`t get sound and when i go to Audio in Sys Prefernces it doesn`t show that i have a output device.

 

so how i get the sound working?

by the way i get no crash , any it`s very very fast

[urielka]

someone?

if i got the sound i will have a full working MACOSX(ex. QE and CI)

i have the same problem with my CFI-S868A motherboard which has a AC'97 codec with the following PCI vendor and device ID's: 1106, 3059

 

I was using the kext from the Darwin 8.0.1 cd after installing using a "test3" patched dvd.
