kernel panic pb6

I installed PB6 several weeks ago (on launch) with some difficulties - I had to remove most of my non-Apple .kext files and then reinstall them and the system ran smoothly. On Monday I installed a security certificate (from the University of Utah) after which I had some difficult with my system. I restarted and then experienced a series of kernel panics.


As the UofU informed me that their certificate altered one of Apple's .kext files I restarted in Recovery mode rather than trying to "root" out the problem. As I had a backup from 1 hour prior to my troubles I erased my drive, reinstalled OS X 10.11PB, and then restored from backup. That failed with a kernel panic immediately after login. I restarted in safe mode but did not get an error report. My mother then had a series of medical problems and I am just now getting back to this... I filed a beta report a few hours ago.


I am assuming it is a problem with the .kext files but can't seem to figure out which ones need to go. From the terminal I entered:

sudo ls -1 /Library/Extensions ; ls -1 /Library/Application\ Support/VirtualBox ; find /System/Library/Extensions -ctime +1w -depth 2


and got the following:


ACS6x.kext

ATTOCelerityFC8.kext

ATTOExpressSASHBA2.kext

ATTOExpressSASRAID2.kext

ArcMSR.kext

CalDigitHDProDrv.kext

HighPointIOP.kext

HighPointRR.kext

NARCPacketInterceptor.kext

PromiseSTEX.kext

SoftRAID.kext

hp_io_enabler_compound.kext

ls: /Library/Application Support/VirtualBox: No such file or directory


I intend to remove the hp_io_enabler (actually, I already have), but I don't know what the rest of the files are... what is PromiseSTEX or ArcMSR ?


Also, not sure if I need to remove anything from /Systems/Library/Extensions either. I can provide the list of .kext files from there but it is long.


This seems to be a common thread - but none of the particular solutions worked easily here. Sorry, I am relatively new to OS X, I'm used to gentoo.


Thanks!

I don't really expect anyone to go through all this mess - but if I could get a clue as to likely candidates - or just ones that I need I can trash the rest and reinstall as I need things.


Thank you,


Bill

You also need to delete the same kext from the system library.

Also - I am using a Macbook Pro (15" Early 2011) 2ghz

Accepted Answer

These forums are about to be closed (OS X 10.11 Beta Forum Closing)

I should point out that I'm not affiliated with Apple in any way, but if you would like to request personal help, please contact me on MacMax108@gmail.com

I removed this kext and then rebooted and it is working smoothly. Resinstalling NN after reboot does not appear to recause the kernel panic, but I have informed them of the issue.


--Bill

That kext started being an issue more than a month ago - and, in fact, the developer was seeking advice on these same forums about how to prevent the conflict - so the one you newly reinstalled may be updated from the one you removed.


Glad it's sorted for you though 🙂
