10.4: Cisco VPN Client causes MacPro kernel panics
Authored by: ceptorial on Sep 30, '06 06:07:37PM
From this forum thread, Fredrich Dengel suggests:
There is a reproducible shutdown panic resolved by removing the Cisco VPN kext file. Reinstalling the kext file reintroduces the panic. The VPN works fine, building persistent tunnels and causing no other noticable issues. If you need this VPN for remote access to your enterprise, remove the .kext from your system library extension folder prior to shutdown and slide it back in after a restart. Better yet, never shut down your computer. Cisco tends to move slowly, so don't expect a fix soon
The extension he talks about is
/System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext
I just got a Mac Pro that I haven't restarted yet... but I will try this and report back next time I'm forced to restart. Others are encouraged to try it as well.
