version 4 and kernel panics

[bodiddly2005]

This is not good - since installing version 4.0 of the UAD-1 drivers, on two different Macs (a dual 2.5 and a dual 2.7, one running Panther, the other running Tiger), I've had kernel panics starting from a cold start. Anyone else?

Post your setup, please.

Here it's running great (20 hours non-stop, 3 reboots).
Dual 1.8 revB, OS 10.3.9, Logic 7.1.1, UADx2, Powercore 1.9.3

cheers,

Mac 1: Dual 2.5, 4 GB RAM (8x 512 MB), Panther 10.3.9, (1) UAD-1 card (slot 4?), MOTU 896 firewire interface, all latest drivers, UAD-1 version 4 AU and VST drivers.

Mac 2: Dual 2.7, 4 GB RAM (4x 1 GB), Tiger 10.4.2, (1) UAD-1 card (slot 4?), MOTU 2408mk3 and 24 I/O interfaces, all latest drivers, UAD-1 version 4 AU and VST drivers.

BTW, you said \"3 reboots\" - but have you started up from totally \"off\" (no power at all - cold start)?

hi bodiddly,
Has either of the machines booted up successfully yet (so you can access the panic log)? Also, try zapping the pram on your next bootup (hold down option+apple+P+R until you hear the startup chime twice).

After the initial kernel panics I retarted and did fsck on both machines. I also reset the firmware on one of them. Now they both restart (warm start) OK, but I haven't tried a cold start yet (have to work!).

Found this in the log - I kid you not:

Oct 7 15:05:59 localhost kernel[0]: DigiIO has a funnel lock. Whoa momma!

There are about a thousand of these:

2005-10-05 10:05:07.106 crashdump[670] *** vmutils addRemoteMachHeader: Error 1 reading header for |¶Bü

Other than that I don't know where to look

Open up the Console application, and under Logs (left side bar) you should be able to find \"panic.log\". You could also do an old fashioned find from the Finder too and open it with Console.

Usually they aren't super helpful, but if it was caused by a particular kernel extension it would point it out in the log.

 

[bodiddly2005]

Nope - no panic.log found on my machine

Works just fine here (G4 dual 800/10.3.9/DP4.6). Cold boots and restarts alike.

Kind regards.

no, just restarts. i shut it off right before this post (30 seconds idle) - no troubles with current song/safari/etc. will post as soon as there's something trange happening ....

cheers,

After installing Version 4 I had a kernel panic the next morning after starting up two different machines as noted in my first post. This is the first kernel panic I've ever had on either of these. I immediately restarted and ran all the usual fixit tools - fsck, clean caches, ran disk warrior, etc. One week later the same thing happened on one of the machines. I put them both back to version 3.9 and am waiting for a response from u-audio. No more kernel panics since putting back to 3.9.

BTW both machines use Apple supplied RAM and both test OK for RAM. One uses Panther, the other Tiger, so its not an OS issue.

Thanks bo,
I'm checking into this.
