[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1309779, member: 46727"] How are you determining that it may be a problem with Airport or Parallels? The kernel panic(s) you're experiencing (at least this one) is related to a kernel task... Kernel panics in a Mac are somewhat equivalent to the infamous BSOD we all learned to "love" about Windows. Kernel Panics are usually related to a hardware problem and sometimes software. I would start by looking closely at the extra memory you have in your iMac. Is it after market memory? If it is, pull the modules from the bottom slots and go back to the original 2 x 2 GB modules in the top slots and see if that cures it. It may be just a matter of reseating the modules. I know from my own experience with adding memory to my Mid 2011 iMac that it takes considerable downward force to seat the modules properly. [/QUOTE]
