Old thread, but since it already excists i didn't want to make a new one.
So to my question, has anyone been experiencing problems with the PowerMate/Tiger? I think its been giving me kernel panics since i bought it, and it seems that the name 'powermate' appears in every crash log.

I may be wrong but here is a sample of my most recent crash:

So i just wanted to know if anyone else is having similar problems before i start bitchin at Griffin because it may just be a conflict wih some other peripheral/extension.

 

My PowerMate seems to be fine with 10.4.2, although it doesn't work quite the same as it did with 10.3.9, for instance, with iTunes it will act as a volume control, but the iTunes volume slider doesn't move up and down in unison as it were. The driver I'm using is v1.6.0.
