I am having OSX/machine freezes recently.
My System Details:
Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) (version = 3.3)
Was originally a 400mhz but was replaced with a faster chip now running at 1 ghz
OS:
Mac OS X 10.2.6 (6L60)
Darwin Kernel Version 6.6: Thu May 1 21:48:54 PDT 2003; root:xnu/xnu-344.34.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC
First let me say, I used to be able to run for weeks with out restart other than certain software updates etc.
In trying to get to the bottom of this problem and when it started.
I'll go back about 2 weeks.
First I updated with the latest OSX and Safari etc.
(I did not update iTunes at the times as it was not something I used.)
About a week ago I also got my High Speed Internert connection from Cox Cable which is coming in through a D-Link cable modem on my Ethernet port.
This is when it started. I had been using the high speed connection for a day or 2 and then I saw there was an update to iTunes I installed it and was playing around with iTunes when it happened.
What happened was it dropped into what looks like a debugger screen. Kind of like a Linux/DOS screen plasterded over top of my usual OSX desktop and other applictaions that are open. It clobbers only a portion of the screen. The rest stays up in full color.
The machine is completly frozen. I can only restart it with the small button on the front panel. After restart it may run fine for an hour or 2 until it does it again. Every thing else is completly fine after restart no unusal application behavior etc.
The first line is;
System Failure: cpu=0; code=00000001 (Corrupt Stack)
The last few lines mention the MAC ADDRESS and the Ethernet connection
Last line is:
waiting for remote debugger connection
Also at the time this started I was constantly running out of disk space. I have since freed up about 1.5 gigs but it makes no difference.
The way it happens most often now is if I'm using Safari or IE then I click in a Finder window, or I'm in the Finder and I click on an application Icon in the Dock. It makes no difference if Classic Environment is running or not.
I have eliminated both iTunes and Safari assuming that just not starting them up during a restart is adequate.
I have also eliminated Ethernet connection. I went back on my dialup for a couple of hours and about 2-3 hours it happened.
I tried to trash preferences but I'm not sure what they are. In prior versions of the OS this was easy to figure out.
So I'm not sure if these were the right files or if that even would make a difference.
com.apple.system.preferences.plist
com.apple.Safari.plist
com.apple.finder.plist
I also did the following:
I have run Diskwarrior. Everythings fine there.
I also ran a few utilities such as Dragster, Jaguar Cache and Cocktail.
It still happens but I can run for a bit longer now.
Any ideas?
