DP 4.61 kernel panics on quit on Mac 10.4.6

Firefox · 5th August 2006

hello all

I am having a problem with DP 4.61 running on my G5 dual 2.7 on 10.4.6
I’m doing music mixing (not composing) so I’m simply running a few plugs such as Altiverb 5.
I’m running a Traveller (firmware 1.07 if i recall correctly)

So when I quit DP (with no other programs running) I consistently get a Kernel Panic.
If I force quit - it’s ok. It only happens when I quit DP. (it is totally solid when I’m working)

I got the following advice from a MOTU support person.....

“ Try running the built-in driver, not the MOTU FireWire driver.
Also, move all of the plugins out of their normal folders.
Go to HD-Library-Audio-Plugins-MAS. Move all of the these plugins into a temporary folder (you'll create) call "unused MAS". Do this also for Component plugins. Create a folder called "unused Components". After moving these plugins into the newly create folder, relaunch dp. See what happens..........(snip)...... Maybe you should reinstall dp from the ground up.”

I havent had a chance to try any of this.... but before I do..... has anyone been down this path - and does anyone have any advice?

thanks!

I have had the same problem once, but I don't know how I solved it back then. I think I've done both things in the past to cure problems, but not specifically this one.

It could indeed be due to a plugin and probably one which isn't a stock plugin, so remove the 3rd party plugs one by one, till you don't have a crash anymore...

If that doesn't work you'll have to reinstall...

These crashes are usually so system specific that the only way to find out is to do one of these things... so it's a solid advice from the support guy IMHO, try them out.

yup. but rather than removing all the plug just remove the ones you're not using to see if the ones you are cause the problem. if it continues then remove all and start adding them in one at a time.

have you done all the pram and nvram, repair permissions, deleting preferences, cache stuff? you may also check into either deleting "undos" or moving them temporarily to another folder (that dp won't see) and see if that wil happy-up your mac.
