Home Forums Mac Software Mac Operating Systems Kernel Panic?

Why the ? I've got a because I'm up and running again. Thanks for all your time and help


My bad. I should have been clearer. I removed Sophos using the "Remove Sophos" tool provided with by Sophos. However, I am thinking I will pop it back in as it was only a "suspect" and may not have been the cause. No one else in the Forum has reported any Sophos problems.

Besides, removing the other suspect, CD Spin Doctor extension "CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext", seems to have made the most difference. I am even seeing a general improvement in the speed with which applications like Safari and Mail load.


I am going to toss out a couple of observations for any passers by, only because I am getting different results than others get and I wonder if I should be concerned.

I have wondered why, after deleting the "CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext" extension, why I got the information 55 0 0x354ca000 0x3000 0x2000 com.olympus.CamFWSerialBusProtocolTransport (2.0.0) <54 53 49 37 8 5 4 3 1> using Hals' command kextstat |grep -v com.apple

It has only happened that one time. Since then, the result has consistently been:

douglas-ingliss-imac:~ douglasinglis$ kextstat |grep -v com.apple
Index Refs Address Size Wired Name (Version) <Linked Against>
douglas-ingliss-imac:~ douglasinglis$

I have also used dkmarsh's command defaults read com.apple.systemuiserver and got this short result.

user-names-imac:~ username$ defaults read com.apple.systemuiserver
{
"__NSEnableTSMDocumentWindowLevel" = 1;
}
user-names-imac:~ username$


However, when dkmarsh used the same command the result included a bunch of additional information
