This is the behavior I referred to above (I don't know what other

Having recently downloaded a lot of upgrades (FCE 4, Quicktime,

I just got 3 kps in a row ... 2 between restart using the Programmer's
button ... 1 on next Cold Boot ... finally went through, after I
turned on a FW device I had turned off during the last session where
the Mac seemed to be running well (not sure if this is this kps
cause).
I noticed each kp seemed to load more, by looking at the end of the
panic log (not the top) ... don't know how to pinpoint the problem.
Its possibly not the M-Audio drivers ... possibly a problem with M-
Audio setting of Permissions ... their Uninstall doesn't work under
Leopard, and I have to Uninstall manually ... tells me their support
is incomplete ...
Any suggestions?
I'm now using "applejack" in Single User Mode to autopilot a possible
solution ... Repairs Disk, Permissions, empties caches, etc.
I'm still in Tiger land (10.4.11). I used to have this 2496 card in an
older Quicksilver with the same quirky KaPows (kernel panics). M-Audio
hasn't updated their drivers in a long time, I'm not surprised that they
would have incorrect permissions in Leopard (10.5). I had recently done
a clean install on my G5 after hard drive failure, with no change in KP
behavior - even on a brand new OS install with the most recent drivers.
My solution? I'm going to an external digital audio solution and dumping
the 2496. I sometimes need portable audio and XLR connections.
Unfortunately, USB seems to rule the roost - I would really prefer
firewire and something like the Edirol FA-66, but unfortunately they are
hard to find. I'm looking at the Mbox 2. They seem to be getting really
good reviews and are well supported in the Mac universe. Only problem,
they come with Pro Tools, which is an (Arggggg!) M-Audio product! Garage
Band here I come ;-)
