Hi all,
First & foremost, my apologies if this gets through multiple times, i
tried reaching the mailinglist from another email account & failed
miserably.
Recently, one of my clients started experiancing kernel panics on
all
of his macs (2 powerbooks & 2 G5's). All machines run OSX 10.3.9
These
are the kernel panic logs: Machine 1 (PowerBook): *********
You are supposed to file a bug for this sort of thing; this list is
not for technical support questions.
From the looks of things, at least one of the machines (looks like
the laptop) has bad memory.
The other machine looks to be running a third party KEXT, which is
leaking memory in one of the zones (my guess would be AntiVirus
software, since in the past they tried to replace system call entry
points with their own code drived from OpenDarwin; if we made a change
in one of those routines in a point release, they inevitably lead to
memory leaks/panics because of the stale code not *exactly* matching
the update version).
It also looks like someone has tuned some of the administrative limits
on the number of open fd's up on one of the machines, far past the
amount of memory available for such things (a couple of the panics are
NULL pointer dererferences following an allocation failure in the
M_FILE zoen, which would not occur unless the administrative limits on
the machine had been explicitly changed).
If you want help beyond that, you will need to file a bug, and likely
need to be prepared for two machine debugging.
Since you are running Panther, however, it's unlikely that the answer
will be something other than "Upgrade to Tiger; most of this code was
rewritten".
