Hi, i've also experienced this 'zalloc did gc' kernel panic. I too narrowed it down to VoodooPower.

According to Superhai (maker of the above mentioned) -

Quote:
zalloc is kernel zone memory allocation. gc means garbage collection. if it fails to allocate memory it tries a garbage collection to free memory, if it still fails the kernel will panic. something is allocating more meory than the kernel can get. most likely a memory leak in the kernel or kernel extension.
I'm now looking to get vanilla speedstep working only using dsdt.
