Kernel Panic with ver. 8.0.1 c

Hi,

Thanks for the note, and apologies that you've had this bad experience. There was another, similar report here. Both reports have only a couple of things in common, namely using Parallels and the version of the kernel. We've not been able to reproduce this in our testing lab though. Would you mind running the SDU and sending us the logs? You can find info about running the SDU here:

http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/33533.html

Also if there is anything that might be unique about your installation that might explain how to reproduce it, we'd be happy to hear it! As of this morning there are 75K people using this version, so this is certainly a pretty rare event and we'd really like to figure it out.

Hi Bob,

I have had two episodes of kernel panic on my older iMac (but not on a newer one or on my old MacBook) since I installed the free version (8.0.1C) last week.  Not running Parallels; don't know what kernel version is - or what kernel panic means, for that matter, other than bad news!  I ran the SDU - should I send it to someone?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Ycul

Installed 8.0.1C over the weekend, two kernel panics before turning off on access scanner since that seems to be what is causing the panics.. Running 10.7.3 but on a positive note this is a fairly fresh install without Parallels (yet). I ran the diag tool and will send something into support referencing this thread sicne I don't have a tech support reference number.

Hey I have also been getting kernal Panics, but with 8.0.2. I also have Parralles installed...

Tried with 8.0.2 but it's worse now, the second I enabled On-Access scanning the system froze and now on boot it hangs when it loads the Sophos On Access Kernel extension. No Parallels here..

I sent the diagnostic information as requested but I got a replay asking me for a contract, in any case it's been an interesting expireiment but I just went and purchased Mcafee to give myself something.

I am also experiencing random kernel panics (4 in the past 10 days) -- both with 8.0.1 and now with 8.0.2

I do not have Parallels installed (but do have Virtual Box and VMWare Fusion installed) -- however neither were running at the time of the last kernel panic.

(I have also submitted log files up the chain -- but I wanted to chime in on this thread as it's not *only* Parallels-related...)

Thanks for the added data point!

By "up the chain" I presume you mean you sent them to Apple?

I'm also experiencing this kernel panic issue on 3 of my 4 Macs (iMac, MacBook and MacBook Air).  All devices are on OS 10.7.3, however none of are running Parallels.

By "up the chain" -- I mean to Sophos (we license the non-free version of this here...)  Sophos engineers have copies of my logs, etc.

But, yes, I also filed a bug with Apple.

Thanks!  This means the product team should have the log and be working on replicating the problem and finding  the fix.
