    How to resolve kernel panic in MAC OS X

    Hi,
    What is a kernel panic in MAC OS X. How does it appear and what can be the cause of this. It looks like crashing of MAC system. I think the major reason of crashing of MAC computer can be the buggy third party software. Is this true. What does actually the term kernel panic means. And if in future I face the same what is the most basic steps which can help me to cure my operating system back.

    A kernel panic is actually a crash on OS X. This simply means that your system is crashed. ! If so, even if OS X is a robust and often described as implantable and well you must know it, OS X can crash. Admittedly, these crashes do not really have much to do with the crashes on OS 9. Simply you can use the repair and recovery function in your MAC PC. This happens when your system fails.

    MacOS X, the based UNIX operating system from Apple makes a new memory management. In this system, resources (allocation of CPU time and memory allocation in particular) are allocated and distributed by the kernel. In fact, in OS X if we speak rather of microkernel and more exactly micro-kernel Mach 3. To summarize simplistically put, this micro-kernel Mach 3 is the heart of the system on which all other layers are stacked next.

    Unlike a normal kernel (Linux for example), micro-kernel in OS X does no driver in it! This is a modified and optimized by Apple for its machines. Under OS X, the microkernel is closely linked to the layer FreeBSD. A kernel panic is a fatal system error and the only solution is to reboot the computer. It works most of the times when rebooting the computer fixes the issue.

    This kernel ensures this happens, and it is impossible that any software or task in living memory to write to a memory area other than that was awarded the nucleus. The errors that we unfortunately accustomed to quite often in OS 9 and earlier, the famous bus error, error type 2, type 11 are now part of the past! And so much the better but they are replaced by kernel panic in OS X! However, these Kernel Panic are at least that's how they should be extremely rare in OS X.

    Re: How to resolve kernel panic in MAC OS X

    When the kernel panic occured the system is freezes. It is more like the blue screen crash in windows. In short, the system loses the control and can no longer continue its role. The phenomenon of Kernel Panic is well known in the Unix world. It may be due to a programming error in the kernel ( kernel, the hub of the system). Often, the kernel panic because a foreign element will disrupt the area of memory the kernel uses an operator inadvertently breach left open by the programmers.
