Kernel panics
I had a boatload of kernel panics last friday. My computer wouldn't run five minutes before crashing over and over again. Didn't matter what I was doing.
So I did a clean install of 10.2 and upgraded to .2.2 and it's been perfect ever since. Even restored all my settings except sharing preferences, and I didn't have to reinstall anything. Thanks to this tip, I found the Apple support article on the topic and it directed me to the panic.log in the /library/logs folder (which was in my "previous systems folder" since I had done the clean install). What was consistent in every single report was: Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies): com.symantec.kext.symfs(7.0.2)@0x1e3a9000 dependency: com.symantec.kext.symdc(1.3)@0x1ed21000 Symantec!!!! Any idea what this is referring to?

> >Any idea what this is referring to? My guess is Norton Utilities... I had a devil of a time with kernel panics and journaling on 10.2.2 after doing the most recent upgrade to NUM. I eventually disabled journaling and then things were fine. I've since reenabled journaling and things are working fine. I'm still intending to remove the NUM cruft. And BTW, there's references to kernel panics and Norton Utilities on the Symantec website.
Kernel panics
Norton Utilities causing kernel panics in 10.2.2 is well documented. It was tracked on the MacFixit site about a month ago. (Symantec makes Norton Utilities). |
