10.4: Cisco VPN Client causes MacPro kernel panics
Authored by: TTop on Sep 28, '06 04:53:23PM
I just dealt with this on a brand-new 24" iMac Core Duo (2.33ghz). I thought it had a hardware problem. I would kernel panic during shutdown, etc. Once it started panicking during boot and got stuck in an endless reboot cycle. It would crash frequently, is my point.

After much troubleshooting and digging, I tracked it down to the Cisco VPN Client (The initial logs didn't mention the vpn client). I removed the client through the procedure described at Macintouch and have had NO crashes since. If you try to manually delete the files that the VPN client installs deep in OSX, it will immediately crash the OS. I had to boot in single user mode, make the drive writable and then remove the files by running a cisco script buried on the hard drive.
