Oh, no, I've become one of those "I get a kernel panic once a week" people, and now I'm here looking for commiseration or suggestions.
Is anybody out there using Azureus (a Java bittorrent client) regularly with 10.3.3? I'm suspicious that it or the Java subsystem might be at fault.
Background:
G5 with all updates, disk checks, repaired permissions, running just fine, and for the most part has since I got it. Maybe twice I had to restart due to problems in twice as many months, if that.
As of 10.3.3, though, I got a rash of kernel panics right after updating. That turned out to be the fault of APC's UPS software; after I removed it and started using Apple's built-in UPS control, things settled down. I thought, until I gave it more uptime.
Now, I'm getting a kernel panic a little more than once a week, and I can't figure out what it might be. The first time, I wrote off as bad luck, but after #3 (all about evenly spaced), it qualifies as an actual problem.
I'm highly suspicious of Azureus, since that's basically the only app I've had open two of the three times it's happened--running overnight, woke up in the morning to fans on full blast. The third time (a few minutes ago) Azureus was again running in the background, and up comes a KP while I was websurfing (again, not doing much else). This didn't happen with 10.3.2, so I'm wondering if maybe 10.3.3 broke something in Java that's causing periodic panics.
Since that's the only App running, all that's left are software additions, which consist of my Canon scanner driver and Logitech mouse software (1.1.1). I would try updating to Logitec Mouseware 1.2.1, but it seems to be universally hated on Versiontracker, and several people said kernel panics it caused were fixed by going back to 1.1.1, so I'm not too anxious to try that one.
So... anybody else having an issue like this? I've tried everything obvious, I'm not seeing anything useful in the Logfiles, and I'm loathe to try reinstalling. Maybe I'll just restart every three or four days, and the problem will go away...
