    hey there,

    everything has been super stable with our system until today for some reason i get kernal panics on most projects i try to open – particularly if there are files that have gone offline. also get the magic poof to the desktop if i try to open the user preferences from the apple menu.

    ive tried trashing prefs and repairing permissions. i havnt done anything new to the system except install after effects 6.5 over a week ago and everything had been fine since that install.

    any ideas fellow bovines?

    several restarts seem to have done the trick for now……so what is a kernal panic anyway?????

    Almost always due to some hardware glitch. Like a firewire connection. But it could’ve just been your spelling of kernel. Kernel. It hates it when people spell it’s name wrong.

    I think kernels are some of the basic coding units of the underlying unix. I’m not sure why it’s called a panic. Maybe because before apple made the nice little screen telling you you’re dead in the water, you used to get a bunch of code fly up across the screen. Panic?

    Today i come to work and turn on the G5, and every time i launch final cut 5.2 i get a kernel panic.

    Nothing different with any hardware. I believe i ran QT update last week, otherwise i haven’t got a clue
