The weirdest crash report I've ever seen

Post by David Polich »

This morning I started up my Mac and got the kernel panic screen. So I shut
down with the power button and restarted. Got a generated crash report that listed a kernel panic beginning with "com.apple.dont_steal_mac_osx_7.plist".

Has anyone else ever seen this? I can't find any reference to it on any
internet search, or searching Apple's support pages.

I went ahead and updated to OSX 10.6.5 (from 10.6.4) and that went smoothly.
I tried to locate the "dont_steal_mac_osx_7.plist" file but turned up nothing.
Things have been stable for the remainder of today.

This appears to be associated with a kernal extension put there by Apple to try to prevent the use of OSX on non Apple computers.

Like "Hackintoshes"? That would make sense. Thanks for the tip!

Been around a long time (in computer years at any rate)...

Maybe something in the OS didn't load into RAM correctly and the Mac thought the software was bootlegged? You might want to test your RAM...
