Mac Os X Snow Leopard kernel panic on shutdown

[jooak]

Hello I am pretty new to the forums but I installed snow leopard on an 2008 iMac 2.4 ghz, 3gb of ram and 250gb hard drive on September 1, 2009 and had no problems shutting down. Then on Wednesday when I shut down it goes into a kernel panic and tells me to restart. When I go into the other user account it does not do that. I have a picture of the error log that i got when I started the computer up to submit to Apple. Can someone please help.

I have reset PRam, repaired permissions, and reinstalled Snow Leopard but recovered it from a Time Machine Backup. I do not know what to do.


Does anyone else have this problem and know a solution?

Thanks in advance to all you smart forum viewers

Looks like a driver problem. It seems the a program called DoubleCommand is not compatible with Snow Leopard.

Shutdown issues - SL Clean Install

I did the clean install routine ....

Hold down "C" to boot into installer.

Utilities/Disk Utility to erase/repartition

Installed SL


Issues on shutdown

1st Shutdown - failed to completely shutdown - left a 'ghost' image of desktop background on screen - seemed frozen

Forced Shutdown with PWR Button
REBOOT

2nd Shutdown - got a screen with spinning pinwheel - seemed like forever

Will do another shutdown/reboot and check back here.
