I guess I could try import in batches of 500 or so songs but that wouldnt explain the kernel panics.

How would I do that? All I get is the 'you need to restart your computer' message.
@derekreidInsert this into your boot.plist: Kernel Flags debug=0x100 This gives you a diagnostic kernel panic rather than the "You need to restart".
Cheers, will post a photo shortly.
@scififan68It looks like you have 4GB of ram + applenforceata, that is your problem, you need a special kext to allow for, 4GB of ram. Get it here (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15… ↗)
That's correct.. will try that kext.
'MemoryDescriptor' - sounds like i need that kext.
Installed that kext (i think) and still get the same kernel panic. I will try slashack's one.
