Hi everyone, love Parallels, it is so wonderful. What a brave new world we live in! (And 3.0 sounds too good to be true, thought it isn't!) However a number of mac users are finding Airport stops working after a time and sometimes causes a kernel panic! In either case, only rebooting seems to resolve it for a time. What does this have to do with Parallels? After much trial and error, we seemed to have narrowed it down to the Parallels networking subsystem causing the errors; seems Parallels is the common denominator in all cases. The behavior is usually preceded by the following console log errors; ... kernel[0]: ath_rx_proc: no mbuf! ... kernel[0]: ath_rxbuf_init: no mbuf/cluster The main discussion on this at Apple is here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=929450&tstart=0 Anyone at Parallels care to look into this? It's frustrating having such a great computer, then have it crippled by otherwise awesome software. Thanks for taking a look at this!
I'm having the same problem I'm having the same problems, but I don't get the advanced warning in the console you refer to. It's happened about 6 times in the last few months; and only happens when I'm using 802.11. I'm not convinced it is Parallels, but I can't remove parallels to test without impacting my usage a lot. Here's the panic log: Thu Jun 7 12:43:26 2007 panic(cpu 0 caller 0x0035C2B2): mbuf address out of range 0x1040502 Backtrace, Format - Frame : Return Address (4 potential args on stack) 0x362abb88 : 0x128d08 (0x3cb134 0x362abbac 0x131de5 0x0) 0x362abbc8 : 0x35c2b2 (0x3eb8f4 0x1040502 0x0 0x0) 0x362abbe8 : 0x23abdb (0x1 0x2 0x362abc08 0x19e23a) 0x362abcf8 : 0x23dffd (0xa833710 0x0 0x36190d 0x362abe9c) 0x362abd18 : 0x361c6b (0xa8334e8 0x0 0x362abe9c 0x9d2332) 0x362abdd8 : 0x3533dc (0xa8334e8 0x0 0x362abe9c 0x0) 0x362abe08 : 0x34ef4b (0x7346ec0 0x362abe9c 0x525b204 0x0) 0x362abef8 : 0x34f164 (0x51dd5dc 0x7346ec0 0x2c 0xb01a6bf0) 0x362abf58 : 0x379e23 (0x51dd5dc 0x6849628 0x684966c 0x0) 0x362abfc8 : 0x19b17e (0x7d52300 0x0 0x10 0x72c5e00) No mapping exists for frame pointer Backtrace terminated-invalid frame pointer 0xb01a68e8 Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 8.9.1: Thu Feb 22 20:55:00 PST 2007; root:xnu-792.18.15~1/RELEASE_I386 ********* rustybook:/Library/Logs rusty$ grep AirPortAtheros panic.log com.apple.driver.AirPortAtheros(221.46)@0x9a4000 com.apple.driver.AirPortAtheros(223.47.4)@0x9e5000 com.apple.driver.AirPortAtheros(223.47.4)@0x4dd66000 The only non-apple kernel extensions installed are Parallels and WireTap Pro (audio from AmbrosiaSW) rustybook:/Library/Logs rusty$ kextstat | grep -v com.apple Index Refs Address Size Wired Name (Version) <Linked Against> 71 0 0x94d000 0x7000 0x6000 com.AmbrosiaSW.AudioSupport (2.0.1) <70 11> 79 0 0x8c6000 0x4000 0x3000 com.parallels.kext.ConnectUSB (2.5.0) <36 11 6 5 4 3> 93 0 0x8ca000 0x6000 0x5000 com.parallels.kext.Pvsnet (2.2) <5 4 3 2> 101 0 0x61533000 0x14000 0x13000 com.parallels.kext.hypervisor (2.2) <11 6 5 4 3 2> 102 0 0x61693000 0xa000 0x9000 com.parallels.kext.vmmain (2.2) <11 6 5 4 3 2> 103 0 0x619f2000 0x3000 0x2000 com.parallels.kext.Pvsvnic (2.2) <35 4 3>
