Administrators Leon Posted October 8, 2012 Administrators Share Posted October 8, 2012 Herve, update to latest EDP (if you are still running 3.x then re-download 4.x) and do a new build.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted October 8, 2012 Administrators Share Posted October 8, 2012 I've updated from v4r7 to v4r12 (not that I actually needed to, but...) and now have the same kext in /S/L/E as I had in /E/E. But is that kext actually loaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Leon Posted October 9, 2012 Administrators Share Posted October 9, 2012 If it wasent loaded you wouldent be able to boot.. check this out... air:~ lsb$ kextstat | grep AppleACPI 11 2 0xffffff7f81d26000 0x57000 0x57000 com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform (1.6) 24 0 0xffffff7f81d83000 0x7000 0x7000 com.apple.driver.AppleACPIEC (1.6) 28 0 0xffffff7f81d8d000 0x4000 0x4000 com.apple.driver.AppleACPIButtons (1.6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDubU Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 My kernel panics were definitely not due to file permission problems. I fixed all file permissions using both MyFix (Full) and Disk Utility multiple times but was still getting random KP's no matter where AppleACPIPlatform.kext was located. I think that I've narrowed the problem down to either VoodooHDA.kext or, possibly, kernelcache corruption. After deleting the entire com.apple.kext.caches folder from S/L/Caches, I did a custom EDP 4r12 rebuild using AppleHDA #2 instead of VoodooHDA #3, leaving the AppleACPIPlatform.kext that EDP installed in both E/E and S/L/E. The system has since been totally stable with normal shutdown/restart times. I wanted to try to install AppleHDA again because it doesn't mess up input/output volume levels after every restart like VoodooHDA does. Previously, I could not use AppleHDA because it had linking errors that prevented kernel caching. Thinking that the KP's and cache linking problems may have been caused by a corrupted kernelcache, I had previously tried to delete only the 'kernelcache' file in S/L/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup, not knowing what the other files in S/L/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches did. After deleting the entire com.apple.kext.caches folder, the kernelcache now rebuilds quickly and reliably (no linking errors with AppleHDA or AppleACPIPlatform). I don't know if those other files in S/L/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches where contributing to the caching problem from the very beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Leon Posted October 9, 2012 Administrators Share Posted October 9, 2012 well.. its no news that VoodooHDA can cause KP.. sadly.. piece of shit ... voodoohda = the best of the worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
