Subject: [Avid-L2] Kernel Panics and Death Screen on Mac upgrade 10.6.3 to 10.6.8?
In anticipation of upgrading our Mac SNDX4.0.5 to 5.5/6 I have carbon copy cloned the system drive to several drives. I then took my 10.6.3 CD/DVD and upgraded from 10.5.6 to 10.6.3. 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
or hardware incompatibility. Does the fact that the problem disk boots successfully on my MBP point to hardware more than 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
programs came from and the Adobe Suite took forever to get authorized after a disk munched so the carbon copy clone saves a lot of issues but it don't work at 6.8 Hmmmmmm.
