Intermittent Kernel Panics

[Milkman]

I installed Zephroth 10.5.2 and the install went flawless. Booted up access the internet and had sound. Kudos to Zephyroth for the spotless install. My hardware is listed below.

Abit KN8 nForce 4 board
Opteron 170
Nvidia Gigabyte LAN
I Can't find information on my sound
7600GS Nvidia Video Card (I think)

Now on to the problem. I get Kernel panics. As I've observed them the last couple of days and did some research on what problem I might be having, it seems to revolve around when I use the LAN adapter. I tried to import my iTunes music, some 9,000 files on a NAS and it will never run to completion. If I transfer a large number of photos from the same NAS I will have issues. Downloading a torrent I will also have issues. I updated the cpuids with Marvin and that seems to have made things better, but I am still restarting 2-3 times a day.

Anyone have any thoughts on the problem or how I might troubleshoot it better?

Thanks again for the release Zephyroth!

I have been having the exact same problem as well. All of a sudden I would get the message telling me to restart the computer. It just comes up randomly (maybe once or twice a day).

I'm afraid the best answer is use/buy another lan card, at least for the moment

me too...I think the problem has to do with the hard disk...and not the lan card...

What makes you think that?
What kind of hard disk are you using?
what kind of mobo?

[Milkman]

I will get another lan card and see what happens. Any thoughts on good ones to get that will have drivers OOB?

The HD is a Raptor 74gig and was before my Hackintosh installation my Windows drive. I would be surprised if it was that.

Thanks!

Msi K8N Deluxe..
It has to do with AHCI support on SATA disks...
I am on a sata right now...
Transmission app for torrents always causes kernel panic after some downloading...

just wait for next release. will be addressed. - cheers

[roisoft]

only with transmission or with all torrent clients?

[zikman]

with all torrent clients

[CyCLoBoT]

I don't know exactly what's causing the error. I have transmission on all the time but I don't think for me, that's the cause of the problem. Most of the time it occurs if I'm watching a video on youtube or on quicktime. This is the only time I get the restart message.

I think the same.... the problem is in the high I/O data transfer (via network) when you are watching a youtube video or downloading/seeding with P2P clients.

This is very interesting...

I have been experiencing these kernel panics problem very since I've installed Zephroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2, I have tries just about every thing with no luck. First, in my case it's not related to any specific bit torrent client because I've tried a few. I have disable all of my on-board LAN, reduce my memory and even purchase a D-Link G122 wireless USB card all of which work except that the Kernel Panics will not go away. In my case it seem to be related to SATA disk writes, my next test is to boot the system up a and just let it sit there...(no downloads, no internet, no
itunes or video) and see how long it take to crash.

btw, does anyone know if this will address in the net release from Zephroth, also is there a DVD ver. of Leopard for intel out there?


My system:
Asus M2N32-SLI Delux
ADM 4200+
2 SATA HD
2 gig DDR2(reduced from 4Gig) memory
D-Link G122 USB wireless network

I had an old G wireless card and it made it the whole day while updating from the NAS. Sometime in the middle of the night I had a crash and reboot...don't know what caused that. Any thoughts on how I can research that or even when the system went down?
