I have had my dual G5 2.3 GHZ kenrnel panicking like a wild stallion that was recently roped!
Apple said it was bad RAM which we replaced.
Now it get stuck, simply freezes every few minutes. Of course my boot drive has just 24GB free, but that should be enough.
I read in XLR8tyourmac that this issue happens with a recent quicktime or other updates and with OSX updates. So I'm not alone. anyone else have repeated freezes?
"I hate to keep repeating this but as I mentioned in Tuesday's news (and twice on the 10.4.9 feedback/tips page), to help avoid problems with OS X updates you should quit out of any running apps and -not disturb the mac- during the update/"Optimizing" (prebinding) phase (notes on this are in an Unsanity article on How Installing Apple's Updates can Render Your Mac Unbootable and How You Can Prevent it linked several times in the past here[). For those that had problems after an OS X update, include a note if you followed that rule. Thanks. (There can be other causes of problems with updates of course - Bugs, incompatible software/addons, corrupted files/prefs, etc but prebinding problems apparently are a fairly common cause.) "
I'm using 10.4.8 on the Macbook Pro and 10.3.9 on my G4 which are working well. Just the dual G5 with 10.4.8!
I wonder who else has worked on this problem?
