Kernel panics, 30 times a day......
Anybody experiencing pbm since 4.6 Dp and x.4.2?
Using DP4.6, latest update,
2x UAD1, 3.9.0
1x Tc Powercore Firewire
Ultrasynth UA
Plugsoundbox UA
Superior Drum From Hell Custom & vintage
and Altiverb 5.06

I do kernel panics 30 times a day.
None of the USB irtual instr, although updated let DP boot to end.
And even without them, scrolling makes DP crash, editing audio after a pitch correction makes dp crash, and opening nu instrument windows crash the bugger down, right down to the system......

What the hell's happening.

I have zapped P-Ram, re-installed DP, dropped the AU check to the bin a recreated another one..... Nothing works..... WAOOOO;
I've never had anything like that in 9 years @ MOTU, and can't seem to get out of it.....

I humbly and regrettably submit that you probably ought to do a backup of your startup disk and a clean install of Tiger, then of DP, and assuming it works then, start adding back gingerly.

ThanX for that, which I have done, but the problem is it starts fine, then behave more & more erraticly......

Anything going wrong with the latest DP version??????

Not as bad as that..
It's starting to sound like hardware issues of some kind more then
anything else

here's one......

Tc has issued a revision to their 1.9.5 version.
But you won't find it if you track versions thru their 'have I got the latest vesion' browser on the TC Site.
You have to search too hard to find that the download that is now available, might not B the one you downloaded when it became available, although it bears the same name & digits.....

Anyway This SR 1 solves the kernel Panics....... SO they say....
In fact it crashes not............ as often as it used to, but now, DP doesn't even tell you it crashed incidently, and doesn't seem to even create a crash log......

Bravo, TC People.......
You are the cream of Mac programmers........

If only you could choose between staying and being useful, or just get the F outta here, and not make us hope.

ram ? i noticed when i jog round itunes alot , like 20 songs in 20 seconds, i get the kernal panic.. i thik it's my ram?

How much RAM do you have? If you have enough to remove some, then try removing each stick, in turn, to see if the problem goes away.

If you have hardware that you can remove (UAD, etc), then remove it, one item at a time, and see if the problem goes away.

Also, what do the panic logs look like (/Library/Logs/panic.log)? Are they the same? Or are they random? If they're the same then this implies a software issue. If random, then this implies a hardware issue. This isn't foolproof, just a rule of thumb...

I second checking for bad ram. When I tried to install OS X on my old G4/400 tower I had all sorts of problems, including kernel panics, endless installing processes and so on and on. Even the sys admin at work couldn't figure out my problem. I eventually tracked it down to a bad stick of cheap ram; everything worked like a dream once I got rid of that ram. When I reported this to the sys admin he actually kicked himself in the ass. It was quite something to see. He's out of traction now.
