    Not seeing it here with any of our work. Just finished a feature film and the Kona card was enabled for everything.

    This just started happening with the last update and firmware flash on the Kona card. 6.0.1

    We were successful in rendering the project in another system. Today I’m troubleshooting. What I’ve found so far is that it works fine on the same computer with our Leopard and FCS 6.0.2 startup drive. (We keep each version and clone the drive for updates, which paid of in spades in this case)

    I even updated the Kona driver and firmware on the 6.0.2 FCS startup drive and everything was still fine.

    Went back to the current startup drive (All software updates current, and running FCS 6.0.2) and I can’t even get to rendering as Color keeps crashing at various stages prior to rendering.

    This is the same computer. The same project. the same drives, etc. Color and FCP are just buggy as hell with all the current revisions.

    Did all the usual things, trashing preferences, repairing permissions, etc. No help at all.

    At least I now know it isn’t the kona or the hardware in the system.
