About detaching external devices before troubleshooting
Authored by: hamarkus on Nov 04, '03 05:43:01PM

Slightly off-topic, but I had just three kernel panics in a row, all within a few minutes after start-up. Disconnected my firewire drive, no kernel panics anymore (at least for the last two hours).
(For those interested, I had just applied the firmware update to 1.53(or 1.56?) via the Silverlining Updatet v6.4.8a from LaCie (which only runs in OS9) for FW400 drives with Oxford911 chip, supposedly creating performance improvements. Either the drive, the cable or my firewire port got damaged.)
