[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1524954, member: 234411"] First, I cannot interpret the long list of coding in your post, presumably from a 'kernel panic' on your computer. But, the 'kernel' is basically the lower software interface between a computers hardware/drivers and the OS/Apps seen by the user. When the kernel cannot recover from a 'problem' (whether internal or external), then a system crash occurs and on a Unix system the term used is a 'kernel panic' (of course, on a PC w/ Windows, it is the BSOD, i.e. 'Blue Screen of Death'). Rebooting the computer usually resolves the issue unless repetitive kernel attacks occur frequently. Second, there is probably a lot available on this forum already, so a search might help - also, take a look at this [URL="http://www.macworld.com/article/2027201/how-to-troubleshoot-a-kernel-panic.html"]MacWorld Discussion[/URL], and the ones from [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_panic"]Wiki[/URL] and [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3742"]Apple Support[/URL] - good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
