I have a Yamaha 2100s CD writer connected to an Adaptec 2906 SCSI card. This worked perfectly in 10.3 using built-in burning, but in Tiger, I get a kernel panic whenever I restart with the 2100 switched on. Anyone got any ideas?

I had a SCSI burner with the 2906 and seem to remember hearing that the
2906 wouldn't actually function in G5 towers. If you're running it in a G4 I'm
glad I pulled my 2906 last night since I found an 16x Gateway CD-RW burner
and put it in a firewire case.

If SCSI burners aren't going to be supported in Tiger it would have been nice to
get a warning.

Of course, you could always buy a Pioneer DVR superdrive from that online
place and replace the SCSI CD-RW altogether - I think they're $70.

Lack of support I could understand, but kernel panic on restart? That has to be classed as a bug!

Anyway, it hardly seems worth getting a superdrive when idvd won't run on this 400MHz machine.

I had the same problem after installing Tiger. Whenever I boot up (or even connect after up & running) with my Maxstor 160gb External OneTouch Firewire/USB drive I get Kernal Panic every time.

I've done some searching around but cannot find any solutions to this problem anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have a G4 450 Mhz AGP with an Adaptec 2906 SCSI card connected to a Smart+Friendly CDRW (CD-RW6424S) and an IBM 10 Mb drive. I removed the following kernal extensions:

Adaptec290X-2930.kext Adaptec29160x.kext Adaptec39160.kext

rebooted with no problems and ran Sysem Profiler showing that Tiger recognizes my connected SCSI devices.
Hope this works for the rest of you!

It works! Apple supported CD burning shows up, recognises blank discs, plays music & data CDs. Still got to try retrospect.

Thanks a lot!

Looks as though I spoke a bit too soon: sleep doesn't work. Ah well, better than kernel panics.
