It's Like Going Back to the Good Old Days

Tiger. Even with being totally updated, I can't go a day without a kernel-panic. It's like being back in OS 9.

Is it:

1) I've given Spanky an extra gig of RAM
2) I run a Belkin 'adapter', taped to the window, to pick up any network going
3) I've gotta hub, so's I can have fun with my Oxygen8 MIDI controller and Garageband
4) Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse, but of natch

So tell me, Mac Geeks, what do I need to yank?

Start with the RAM, that's what gave me the most problems when i upgraded Serenity. Then if that doesn't cure it, start via a process of elimination. I'd say remove them all, see how it runs. run stuff you'd normally be running to get a kernel panic.then try adding things back one component at a time.

I'm hoping it's not the RAM, cause the RAM cost money.

Subsequent Google, though, shows that other people are having problems with the drivers for the Belkin. I think I'm just gonna have to trade off a couple of freezes and panics per day as the cost of getting online.

Drinkie-poos at some point? I couldn't make it up to London today, what with Sunday service, but I remember you asking.

Get it sussed yet? Do you know if you can *cause* a panic to happen?

My first guess would be RAM that doesn't quite meet whatever-standards-Tiger-needs. My second guess would be the Belkin adaptor, but I don't know what it's an adaptor for. Hopefully it's the adaptor and Belkin will release a fix for the problem.

You might also want to use /Applications/Utilities/Console.app to look at your system.log and console.log files immidiately after such a panic with the hope of guessing what the culprit might be.
