site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com G'day, All. Really there is no other place to ask this. I mean if you have a hammer (some knowledge of kernel programming) everything looks like a nail. On my brand new MacBookPro5,3 (2.66Ghz) 10.6.2 system I have been getting unexplained hard wedges. The symptoms:- - The menu clock seconds counter keeps ticking. - The mouse still moves - The fans do not spin up. - top in terminal stops reporting - ssh into the system doesn't work. - After a wakeup the login window works to type the password in, but it hangs around with a spinning cog and never logs me in. - I suspect that mDNS isn't going either as the machines <name>.local doesn't seem to resolve, though I'm not sure of that. - May be unrelated, the system never, ever goes to idle sleep. I must close the lid or it will happily sit there for hours with the screen off but otherwise running. I haven't attempted to connect to the system with GDB yet as the symptoms feels wrong to me as a kernel hang. I'd like the groups opinion on the utility of showallstacks and other magic kgmacros to track this down. I don't really have any interesting kernel level apps running, for instance I do not run any of the virtualisers. I do run teleport that I think may have a kext but it seems pretty harmless generally -- I have deactivated it in the hope of localising the problem. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
