I'd point fingers at the internal USB (and, perhaps) FireWire. I had similar problems to yours for months under OS X. My crash logs and panics pointed to the USB family drivers. I put in a USB 2.0/FireWire card and I haven't had the problem since.

(BTW, I also have a 2930, but pulling it out made no difference.)

I installed my Mac OS 9.2.2 System folder on a 1 Gig SCSI drive on the 2930 Card
I installed Mac OS X 10.2.6 on the factor 6 Gig IDE drive (Plan on upgrading to an 80 Gig one day)


The system has a stablitiy issue. It locks up "DEAD" some times with a Kernel Panic message and other times its locked solid. I don't believe it is the OverClocked 400->450MHz issue (yeah yeah yeah I know O.C. == BAD STUFF).
I believe it is the 2930U Adaptec Card (Factory installed). I thought it was when the computer went to sleep or when the screen saver kicked it. I disabled the sleep mode and the Screen Saver and It just happened again! I don't think I had this problem before I installed the 1 Gig SCSI drive and moved the Mac OS 9.2.2 partition.


I was running iTunes this last hang.

Suggestions? Anyone else suspect the 2930U Adaptec/Apple card of being a DUD?
