I was looking at the Apple System Profiler tonight and I noticed that my dvr-104 was noted as unsupported. Now it defnitely is, i've burned many d and dvd with it. So I decided to go to iTunes and play the audio cd that was currently in it. As soo as I pressed play, a kernel panic occured. Now I'm running 10.2.6, but this was not the jaguar style of kernel panics, it wrote the backtrace on screen.
I wrote down the kernel modules that were loaded at the time.
com.apple.iokit.IOSCSMultiMediaCommandsDevice (1.2.4)
Dependencies: com.apple.iokit.IODVDStorageFamily (1.2)
com.apple.iokit.IOCSIBLOCKCommandsDevice (1.2.4)
com.apple.iokit.IOCDStorageFamily (1.2.1)
com.apple.iokit.IOSCSIArchitecuteModelFamily (1.2.4)
com.apple.iokit.IOStorageFamily (1.2.3)
com.apple.iokit.IOATAProtocolTransport (1.2.0)
com.apple.iokit.IOATAFamily (1.5.3F1)
com.apple.iokit.IOSCSIArchitectueModelFamily (1.2.4)
com.apple.iokit.IOSCSIArchitectureMOdelFamily (1.2.4)
com.apple.driver.HeathrowATA (1.0.7f2)
com.apple.iokit.IOATAFamily (1.5.3f1)
com.apple.iokit.IOATAFamily (1.5.3f1)



Can anyone make any sense of this. I assume it's my dvd player, maybe there is some software conflict. The firmware is at 1.40 which i believe is the most current.

Well since you mentioned the dvd being shown as unsupported and the first couple of lines the kernal expecption are related to multimedia and dvd. My guess would be the dvd is the culprit.

If this is happening on a regular basis disconnect the dvd and see if things calm down. Just because you can burn dvd's doesn't mean your in the clear. If the profiler is showing unsupported it saw somthing it didn't like

good Luck

The only KPs that I can recall having in the past year were related to my DVR-105. I find that if I leave a disc in the tray for awhile without using it, it will KP when I attempt to access it. But, of course, it’s not consistent.

So, now, I just have a habit of removing it from the tray when I’m done.

regards,
MAJ

THat sounds in line with my problems. Leave a disc in there for an extended period and I get problems.

Complain to Apple about it, not like anyone else can do anything about it.
