iPhoto 09 causes a kernel panic when I try and import my photos into it.
I dragged my photo folder into iPhoto and after about 20 minutes or so after getting about a third of the way though my pictures it causes a kernel panic (See attachment)
The only thing I changed in iPhotot is I told it not to move the files into the iPhoto Library.

Field Note #1 @eMatoS 2009-03-27

Apple released updates for ilife09 and iwork09, you should try them first.

Author Update #1 @lateralusman 2009-03-27 ↳ Re: @eMatoS

ilife and iwork are sold separately. But ya I see there's a patch for iphoto. I'll try that thanks!
EDIT: Updated iPhoto to 8.0.1 and still got a kernel panic.

Field Note #2 @eMatoS 2009-03-27

It's not very clear in the picture but it looks like you're having problems with some kexts. Are you running in 64 bits mode? if not, that 4gb of ram may have something to do with the crash. Anyway, you should try the patched kexts for the disks controllers made by slashack. Link ↗

Field Note #3 @Ali C. 2009-03-28

Ah, it clearly mentions 32-bit mode being unable to access some RAM. At least, that's what I'm gathering from that screen.
Try maxmem=2048 at the Darwin prompt. At least that will rule out the RAM.
