10.4: Fix a kernel panic after Security Update 2005-009
Authored by: Mikey-San on Dec 06, '05 01:40:22PM

This is a pretty terrible hint. Shotgun "solutions" for non-specific issues (I don't see any specific issue mentioned here--"kernel panic" doesn't count) belong nowhere near the front page.

Lots of users are going to try this, and regardless of if they get somewhere or not, there's no useful data gained. They're not going to look in their logs first, they won't really know which file was problematic (very important for issue tracking and investigation), and they probably won't do other early-stage troubleshooting that should be done before deleting a half-dozen files.

Silliness.

Before anyone tries to correct me:

The MFI page doesn't contain much information, either. Reads like noise with some random troubleshooting stuff shaken around in a blender.
