Just closed the DVD player and it caused a kernel panic
and forced a hard shutdown.
Hmmmm - no panic.log or similarly-named file anywhere. Looked in the places google (indirectly) tells me to - /Library/Logs, done "sudo locate panic" and all that kind of stuff but no sign of anything that could be that log file.
runing 10.5.5 on MBP Core 2 Duo with 4G memory
Is it called something else and documentation hasn't caught up? is there some way that it could fail to get generated on such a kernel fault (don't understand how, if it can generate the message to shutdown surely it can log it), or is there some configuration somewhere that has disabled this ?
