Just wanted to update where my weekend fun is. It would seem the culprit of the Kernel panics when jumping from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 is in fact SN 4.0.5. If I uninstall symphony 4.0.5 before I upgrade to 10.6.8 all is well. Then installing V. 6.0.1.1 has worked. I'd expect V. 5.5.3 will work and I'm going to try that tomorrow. I still have my clean installs but they lack my Adobe Suite so for now these upgraded startup disks will be my guinea pigs. This so far seems to refute what I've been told about using 10.6.8 with older unities. It seems to be working fine with connection manager 5.1.2 running under rosetta. I don't know if there will be issues down the line but I will be putting this through the paces this week to see if there will be any burps that make it unusable. If anyone has some experiences positive or negative running OS 10.6.8 with older unities I'd appreciate any advice you can throw my way.

Not worried about too much else but alas I can't launch the Adobe suite from the other startup disks. That's not surprising but annoying. I wonder if when I get a code from Adobe to reactivate will it nuke the existing licenses on the older startup drives that have been working for almost 3 years. I would hate to lose the ability to launch to the older system in case of issues on the new build.

I then migrated the applications and with a minute left to go in the applications migration I got the death screen. Hmmmmm. If I wasn't trying so hard not to have to fight to reactivate Adobe CS 3 I'd just let the engineers do a clean install. That's probably what I'll end up doing anyways but at least I'm learning that I have a new and frustrating Higher Power I choose to call the OS 10.6.8 Combo Update!

After having it auto install rosetta both connection manager and SanMP both work. Even Avid 4.0.5 works although I haven't pushed it. When I upgrade to 10.6.8 using software update or downloading the update dmg and running it when all is said and done when it does the final restart I get the kernel panic death screen that requires holding down the power switch to shut down. Now I took the disk after re cloning it back to 10.6.3 to my MBP laptop and did the update there. When I reboot my MBP using the upgraded disk as the startup connected over Esata it works fine. When I put it back to the MacPro chassis it's kernel panic time. I have done a clean install of 10.6.3 onto another disk and then upgraded that and that works. Clearly there is either a software

This is a MacPro about 3 plus years old with a Quad Core Intel Xeon chip. I see people complaining about similar issues with Sandy Bridge chip set but this unit seems to old for those chips as it seems they came out around 2011 if my googling is accurate and this computer was bought back in 2008 ish. I did try holding down shift to boot in safe mode but I still got the death screen. Anybody have any suggestions I'm trying some migration on the clean install disk to see if I can narrow down the cause of the problem but I don't see a way to selectively migrate applications. I know Avid doesn't like to be migrated but I'm hoping I can get the connection manager etc.... software to come accross. Oh what fun it's looking like I'll just have to bite the bullet and clean install but I don't know where all the
